About to ship the vintage cane wingback chair; high Google views at Noon

Here at 12:07 I have 22 views from Google!
That is the most in weeks. In fact, I rarely reach 20 by noon. I think this is a new record since the drop in google views.

I know I reached 20 views at noon twice in the past several months.

And, as I've stated before, the first quarter of last year I'd be at 25 to 47 views from Google at noon. With one day at 67. When I had the freaky high of 180 views from Google for the day.

I will just see how it plays out this year and see what else I can do.

I got the chair boxed up in my front yard and I am about to make the trip to Greyhound. I would have liked to have been taking book pics today. I have alot to list.

I also have orders to pack. 2 tea cup orders. A book order and a saucer order. I also finally sold the 1950's Thoren's music box.

It is a nice day. Actually feels comfortable and a little mild. Especially compared with the 10 degree weather I was out in recently.

Off to Greyhound.

200 Views at 5pm

Here at 5:04 pm I have 202 views from Etsy search. 661 total views.

Only 26 from Google. Wow. For the first quarter of last year I would have 25-45 by 12 noon. And averaged 85 to 144 for the day. Oh well. This is the new normal. Google is lost for me.

I didn't get any more pics taken. Now I have orders to pack and I will have to get the chair outside and packed on the porch and shipped on friday. I will do that around noon. Hopefully it will be warm enough. And hopefully it will make it safely.

444 Total VIews with 125 from Etsy Search

I just decided to come back upstairs to check my shop and saw those numbers. Coincidence? Or not?

So yesterday I ended with 404 views from Etsy search. Things slowed down in the afternoon and evening. My record is 480 and I was on pace to surpass that at 12 noon, but finished much less.

It was still a decent day. Got many tea cup pics taken and listed and had a couple orders.

I got some tea cup pics taken today.

I opened my order of 5 tea cups that were great deals and 4 of them had their handles broken! Very poor pack job by the seller in California. No bubble wrap on any piece. The saucers and tea cups were in separate boxes, but were loose and only in shredded paper. 1 nice tea cup made it.

Now she is offering me a German tea set. I will have to see it. I am guessing it will be plain and not that valuable.

It is a sunny day and getting too late for pics until the sun starts to go down around 4pm.

I want to get some book pics taken and listed. I want to list more items than just so many tea cups.

Back to work.

300 Views after 6 pm

Here at 6:24 pm I have 304 views from Etsy search. I think it is a record for the earliest time to reach 300. It is at least very close to the record.

My all-time record is 480. I've reached 430-440 at least 3 times.

It has been a fairly productive day so far. in that I got a bunch of tea cup pics taken. And most of them turned out very well.

I need more sunny days though, to catch up with all the new tea cups I have.

Back downstairs to watch some tv and snack.

200 Views in Record Time!

I have just reached 200 views from Etsy search at 12:34pm! Glad to do that!

Only 13 from Google though. I am coming to accept that as the new normal.

Also had 2 orders.

High Views after 7AM

I already have 116 views from Etsy search at 7:32an! On a record pace!

Good Views at Noon Today, Too; My Views Posts

So I have 122 views from Etsy search at 12:02pm. Glad to reach that again. It's monday, too.

So my views from Etsy search have come back????

At least until the next change???

It will be very disappointing if my views from Etsy search drop again like they did in sept til about the end of october.

I had dropped down to 180.

That is why I started posting about my views. These posts have been recording keeping for me, pretty much.

The first half of the year I tried to post on different subjects, but since that big drop I have been posting about my views.

This year, I will work on having an interesting blog worth reading & following.

High Views Yesterday

Yesterday was a great day for views. It was sunday, of course, which has been a high view day for months now.

I finished with 382 views from Etsy search and 1,282 total views. I am surprised by that.

I am surprised to be getting nearly 400 views from Etsy search and so many total views. Especially with such low google views.

Only 44 views from Google.

It was a good sign to get so many Etsy search views.

Will I continue to grow this year????
Not sure. Last year was such a great pace. I am not sure I can match it. Without getting much better things for my shop and probably even going to auction? To get much nicer things at low prices?

Yesterday I also had 2 orders. Now I have to find the bracelet.

Time to take a few pics.

My First Experience with Thundersnow

After taking orders to the post office I decided to walk to the thrift store. I only found a couple pair of running shoes. A nice REebok pair to keep and a nice nike pair to sell and a few other small things.

From there I walked down to the super market.

When I left it was snowing. Pretty heavy too. As I left the parking lot and got about a block I heard thunder. My first time hearing that during snow.

As I walked home the snow was pretty heavy. It was a white-out. I couldn't see a block away. But it didnt last long. The total time was probably only about 10-15 minutes.

The temp was actually comfortable today. I thought it was going to be sub-zero for a week straight. But tomorrow is lookign decent and then at least monday morning will be comfortable. And it looks by thursday it will be in the 30's again. Just have to plan and prepare for mon evening through wed night.

I came home and shoveled my yard and sidewalk and got ready for an evening of tv and keeping warm.

Tomorrow is laundry day and maybe some pics in the morning?

Good Views at Noon

Here right after 12 noon I have 137 views from Etsy search. This is where they were the first quarter of last year.

Only 12 views from Google. Disappointing still.

I actually have 15 views from Intercarve.net, whatever that is.

Yesterday at noon I had more views from Pinterest than google.

I finished yessterday with 297 views from Etsy search. So today will be above 300 again.

Also, this is all due to my tea cups. Before I had so many tea cups, in the beginning of 2012, I had high views. When I had a lot of very nice vintage items.

I have not been able to restock AND my views for vintage are down.

It will be an interesting, challenging year. I am not sure I can equal last year. Even close. I hope I can make 50-75% of what I made last year.

A Productve Day and a Frustrating Day; Broken plates & Hattie Carnegie Brooch

Today has been a good day sales wise. I have had 4 orders. 4 good orders.

BUT, I knocked a stack of plates off a table and I walked over to look at them after I heared the breaking of china and I saw my one very pretty Limgoes hand painted plate was broken! That is about $45. And one of my cheap 1940's Bavaria fruit plates broke. And I didnt look, but I think I broke or damaged one of my pair of pheasants. AND one of my other Limoges plates was broken. Grrrr.

Add to that yesterday as I was going through my jewelry I saw my very nice Hattie Carnegie swan brooch with porcelain eggs was broken. I must have stepped on it at some piont.

More lost money.

That is probably $100 of money I lost just on the purchase prices. Not counting shipping. So that is over $100 I lost in the past 24 hours. Grrr.

Being careless, I guess. And having so much stuff. I needed a place to set my feet so I set the plates on the edge of the table. I knew better. I should have gotten them down form there. Oh well. I will get over it in days or weeks.

I have made some very nice tea cup buys lately. The past few days, including just this evening, I have been opening them and have been impressed. Some excellent prices on some great tea cups.

And, I just made a couple very nice jewelry purchase tonight on Ebay. To go with a couple others I made recently.

So I lost money. I hopefully will make more. And will just have to give it time to get over that.

Lost money over carelessness and accidents. That bugs me.

Almost time for bed.

Low Google Views

Wow. Here at 2:36 pm I have only 9 NINE views from Google! How disappointing.

I guess using Google+ did NOTHING.

I had 108 views from Etsy search about 12:26. That was decent. And I've had 3 orders.

Now it is all about finding the jewelry and tea cups, getting them packed and shipped today.

Still have to find & pack the pink glass lamps.

Back to work.

High Views Today; Payment received a 4:44pm

It was good to see that I had 124 views from Etsy search at 12 Noon today. And here at 7:46 I have 275 views from Etsy search.

It is the same disappointing story about google views....only 26.

I took a nap and just woke to a small figurine sale. I saw in my email account that the sale was at 4:43....

....and I received the payment at 4:44.

Well I am going to go watch some tv tonight and eat and try to keep warm.

High Views Yesterday

I am surprised that I finished a wednsday with 346 views from Etsy search and 1,178 total views!

For weeks my busiest days were weekend days.

It looks like my Etsy search views have come back?

My google views are low and staying low. 51 yesterday.

I have jewelry to find and a couple other orders to pack. Maybe take some pics?

High Views at Noon again today

I have 129 views from Etsy search here at 12 Noon. Glad to do that again. Yesterday I was at only 89. I did finish yesterday with 302 after having 390 the day before that.

I still have only 13 views from Google this morning. That is still bugging me. I don't think I could change all my listings to get my google views back.

Last year for the first four months, and at the end of 2012, I'd have 25-47 by 12 noon. Oh well.

I am also a little frustrated. I got up late and missed the sun when I have alot of tea cups to take pics of, and I missed 2 very nice tea cups I forgot to bid on before I went to bed. The very nice rose one I definitely should have bid on and would have won. IT was ending in the middle of the night. Oh well.

I got my orders packed yesterday. Except for the lamps and the jewelry, which I have to find.

I will go going to the post office then the supermarket. To stock up. So I don't have to go back out in this weather.

I thought I was doing great this month........

I thought I was doing much better than last january revenue-wise. And I was right. But when I compared the stats for the first 21 days of january for this year and last I saw that I have more than 4,000 LESS TOTAL VIEWS. Wow. That's alot.

I have lost hundreds of Google views every month. I've lost THOUSANDS since august.

So I am not sure I will be able to match last years revenue or orders or sales. I am not sure I can keep up this pace of selling my most valuable items.

I have to try to get back my Google, Bing and The Find views. Especially Google.

HHhhmmmm.......

It's been an active day in my shop. 4 orders. Tea cups, of course. I will ship them in the morning. I have to get the chair to Greyhound, too.

I am going to finish packing what orders I can, then off to bed.
