Even more views & favorites for the green bracelet

So it is now 1,081 total views for the 9 o'clock hour, 525 views for the bracelet with 153 favorites!

This is my first time on Etsy's home page since november of 2011, I think.

The green bracelet views keep climbing

I am now at 815 total views for the hour with 394 views of the bracelet and 119 favorites.

My green stone bracelet is on the Etsy home page

I just checked my shop and saw that I had 80 favorites.  So I checked my stats and saw that I had 470 views for the 9 o'clock hour. I scrolled down and saw that my green stone bracelet is the reason and that it has gotten 290 views!  I checked on it and saw that the reason is because it is on the Etsy home page under "Hand picked items".

Correction, it is now up to 291 views and 81 favorites!

I will update the stats on this piece later.

Google views

Well it is just after 5pm and I have 49 views from google. They are back up a little. But I did have that freaky day of 181 in march or april.

I got some pics taken this morning. I got a beautiful Hammersley gold tea cup that I bought on ebay and was able to get some good pics of it and get it listed:

I also renewed some listings. Didn't seem to do much though.

Yesterday I got listed a beautiful antique Monet brooch that I found on etsy:

I sold a white one just like it in my shop.

It is turning out to be a nice sunny evening here. I might try to get some pics taken outside.  I still have to pack a vase and ship it.

Tomorrow is back to the grounds keeping job.  Hopefully the weather will be nice and my throat will be ok to work with.

I made it to Goodwill and found some decent books to keep and try to sell. And also a very nice vase from Korea with inlaid mother of pearl.  I will try to list that on wed.

Time to figure out what I am going to do with the rest of the evening.....

Happy Birthday to Me

Today's my birthday!  I am 46 years old!

I am kinda glad with being this age? And kinda not?
I wish I were young again, but I like being this age??
I wish I could do things over again.
But I am still kinda looking forward to the near future. But not old age. And not the future of the world.

My views from Google search have picked up today.  Here at 2pm I have 25. Views from Etsy search are better, too. I have 113.

Views are down significantly from the beginning of march.
The first 12 days of march I had 4,600 views from Etsy search and 15,000 total views..
The first 12 days of may I have had 3,200 and 11,000 total views.

Etsy has made a change that's affecting me????

So I ended yesterday with only 268 views from Etsy search and only 47 views from Google.

AND....No Sales.  3 days with no sales! Wow. First time that's happened in a long time.  And I started donating even MORE cash. Oh Well.  :)

WOW. Here at nearly 5:30 only 19 views from Google! Holy Heck!  And the reason I started this blog was to help with google.

Holy Heck! After 9 am and only 4 views from google!!!

Today I got in the mail a bracelet I found on Etsy. It is so nice. Much better than I thought it would be.  It has 3 polished green stones and I believe it's aluminum:

It has been a nice warm, sunny day here. I got some pics of other pieces of jewelry taken, too.  I think I got some nice pieces including this very nice Lisner necklace set that is so much nicer than I thought it was:

And this old jewelry by Monet is also much better than I thought it would be:

Tomorrow I go to the grounds keeping job.  I will take my camera. Hopefully I will get a full day of work in.

It was a pretty good day so far.  Made some sales. Got pics taken, but my throat is still bothering me. And I still have to resolve other things, and I didn't go help my friend, and I am not sure about my future here.

It is a nice sunny warm evening. I will pack up the earrings I sold to Great Britain and ship them.

Then off to work tomorrow.

 

wow, here at 5:39 only 249 views from Etsy search.  That is low. Not much better than when I had 400 listings and with the old search box before they changed it

Holy heck. I just woke up to only 9 google views, only 164 total views and only 49 views from Etsy search. And it's about 7:30.

Off to my grounds keeping job today. I've had a good couple days in my shop. Just have to get everything resolved. So I can live in peace. And keep my shop open.

My google views for my Etsy shop are back up over 100.  I am at 114 for today. Had 109 yesterday.  After the drops in the 50's in march. I had a crazy high of 181 in march too.

Time for bed.  It was a pretty good day. Got some pics taken. Things listed. Made a few sales. It was a beautiful sunny, warm day. Tomorrow I either go help a friend or work on my shop. I want to take more pics and work on this blog.

I hope I can sleep tonight. Last night I'd sleep for minutes at a time then get waken up by my mouth closing up. Wish I would be healed.

My left achilles tendon concerns me too.

Good night.

So I had a couple of hours of high views in my vintage Etsy shop Shoponsherman.  In the 6 o'clock hour my shop had 96 listing views.  Then in the 7 o'clock hour my shop had 240 listing views.  Looks like someone just went and looked at alot of my listings.  Probably clicked from one to the next.

It is just after 4 pm here and it has been a beautiful sunny day. I didn't go do the planting at my grounds keeping job.  Maybe I should have. I am not sure 3 of us were needed anyway. I will be there tuesday though.

I have gotten some things done here, taking pics of some things I really like. And made 3 big sales. Of tea cups, of course.

I got some nice pics taken of the beautiful antique Monet sun brooch and listed it:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/67917602/antique-crystal-brooch-pin-vintage-1930s?ref=shop_home_active

I also decided to list the very nice, large cast paper nude art I have had for a while:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/107772552/rare-female-nude-art-framed-cast-paper?ref=v1_other_1

I have some more pics I want to take when the outside does not have direct sunlight.  I am going to go shopping first.

I do feel I missed out on today. It has been a sunny nice sunday and I have stayed at home. And it's been such a long stretch of sunny mild weather that it kinda concerns me.   I should have gone and planted? Should have gone somewhere instead of stayed home on this beautiful day???

Tonight I just got lucky and found another one of the beautiful Monet brooches I sold in 10 minutes.
I didn't think I'd find the exact same one. It was in a shop that I had saved one of their listings to buy.  And their pics were bad. Dark and distant.  I relisted it in my shop using the pics from the previous sale. Hopefully it will be the same quality when I receive it.

I also got in the mail another beautiful antique Monet brooch that I found on Etsy, too.  It's small, but I think it's a great piece. This is not my pic. It's from the listing from which I purchased it:

I found 2 other great Monet brooches tonight, too.  One I sold that was white and ivory.  Tonights is pink & peach.  And a very nice antique green stone one.  I am looking forward to taking pics of them and listing them.

Tomorrow it is out to the grounds keeping job to do the flower planting. Yesterday I got a few pics of the wysteria blooming. My pics were kinda blurry though.  Here is one of it blooming in the gazebo bed across from the dogwood tree bed:

Here are pics of the wysteria in that same gazebo bed in the morning light:

And in the afternoon:

I had gotten the birdbath fountain running and planted a few plants and it is now ready for geraniums tomorrow:

The day has ended well as I found the brooches, made a nice sale earlier, got some views on my Ebay listing of golf shoes and got convoed a request about the purchase of my great Royal Doulton antique tea cup trio

 https://www.etsy.com/listing/110895037/antique-tea-set-royal-doulton-blue-and

I am also feeling better. Although I didn't eat out of concerns about swallowing.

I am off to bed.  Hopefully my breathing will be ok tonight.

It is a bright, sunny, beautiful, warm day here!  I love it!

No sales today. Views from Etsy search have come back up today. I had about 120 from Etsy search at noon. Not sure how I will keep up the pace I have had this year and the past 8 months. I've sold so many of my valuable things. And now my financial future is very uncertain. Not sure if I will even have my shop open 3 months from now or in december again??

I listed a very nice, pink vintage Royal Grafton bone china tea cup just a couple days ago and it has been extremely popular:

 My throat and nose are still having something. And it concerns me. I have been posting prayer requests for weeks. And asking myself. Don't know what to do. It makes me kinda mad too.

It is a beautiful day and I am going to go do some laundry. Tomorrow I go back to the grounds keeping job and it is supposed to be sunny and warm. I am looking forward to it.  Here is their path in the back of their garden last week:

The gazebo bed was starting to bloom last week, too:

On tuesday the wysteria was blooming and I didn't take my camera.  I will see if I can get some pics of them tomorrow.

So tonight my views from Etsy search are at 321.  Which is a good sign.  Yesterday I finished with 271.  Hopefully this is just a slow time.

And I tried to go to sleep, but now my sinuses closed up and woke me up. When I breath in I can feel my throat is not right. It's not painful, but it's swollen or something.
