Yesterdays views

So I started with high views when I woke up in the morning, but ended the day less that the day before.  Only 319.  Whereas I haad 399 the day before.  Still made 3 sales.  With also the guy going to buy the 4 expensive tea cups to australia.  I still have to ship all those orders!  The plates, the books, and other tea cups.

To the grounds keeping job today. Won't be much to do. Just some wedding and clean up.  I like going there, but it is kinda of a waste for such little money. It was worth it the first year. But once he started paying me by the hour it kinda lost it. a $5/hour raise would make it worth it.

Vintage Paragon china tea cup and saucer

I have been very lucky lately to have been able to acquire some very nice Paragon tea cups.  Even 2 pink ones of the same pattern, but with different marks.  One of them is this very pretty pink one made from 1960-63:

I made a good tea cup sale just about a half hour ago.  I sold the very popular Royal Chelsea pink roses trio, my very popular blue Royal Stafford tea cup and an old Aynsley tea cup to Hong Kong.  Hope they make it safely:

I got some pics taken. Ate lunch. watched tv. Now it is time to take a few more pics and pack orders!

Vintage Royal Haeger pottery planter

Here is a unique planter I got at the local goodwill. I am not sure why people pass up some things.  I think 98% of the people in my local goodwill are shopping for things to use. Not to resell.  So I have been able to get some nice, saleable things.  Like this piece:

I think I should organize my jewelry.  I have 4 boxes of it.  It is time to get more pieces listed.

Off to work.

100 views already

Here at 8:32 I already have 102 views from Etsy search.  The earliest since march or april.  I am looking forward to today.  I have things to do for sure.  Still pack & ship the plates, and deal with the 2 books and customers.  Maybe take some pics.  And ship the 2 tea cups.

Almost 400 views from etsy search

Vintage Royal Stafford china tea cup; 300 views

I made it to the thrift store and found a few decent things. I really didn't get much accomplished today.  I didn't have Dave come over after I saw the real estate tax bill.

I am looking forward to this summer and the rest of the year and seeing how I end the year with my shop. See how I grow. See what else I can put in my shop.  See if I can get any furniture done this year. And hoping I can get healed and stay healthy. And be good.

208 views

Here right after 3 pm I have 208 views from Etsy search. 31 from google and 677 total views.  Not too bad I guess.

I just got back from the thrift store and found some nice, old Currier & Ives transferware drinking glasses.
A set of 7.  Need a cleaning.   Got a nice book from 1991 that is about dinner and recipes from the '50's and 60's.  And an old 1960's mixer/beater.

Got some laundry done.  I will not have dave come over right now.  I have to pay the taxes now. And other bills too.

High Views today

Here at just after 12 noon I have 149 views from Etsy search. Glad to see that. 17 from Google. Which is ok, I guess.  519 total views. That as helped by the very nice blue Paragon tea cup I listed and got 23 views from the Etsy home page and 34 total views with 7 favorites.

I have to go do laundry on this nice sunny day.  Then I have to get Dave over here for the repair.  Hope he would be safe and hope he would fix both things.

I still have to pack and ship 3 orders.  Including the 2 books. Hope they understand my delay.

I don't know what to do.....

yesterdays views

I ended the day with 369 views from Etsy search.  Only 57 from Google though.

And no sales.  That's bad.  Only 1 $59 sale in 3 1/2 days.  After YEARS of tithing and seeding.  And recently even giving an extra 10% up to 1/3 of my sales!  Time to go back to tithing only.  Starting today. Just endure and deal with it.

I think I made a mistake by trying to buy & sell and by opening my Etsy shop

I should have just gotten a job. And worked. And tithed only. And taken care of the house and paid my bills.
Now I have so much and would lose too much to give it all up. Guess I just have to deal with whatever happens this year.

300 views

Reached 300 views from Etsy search at about 8:18 pm.  Not bad. Glad at least getting views.

A day of high views after work

I got home just around 5 pm to 234 views from Etsy search. Good to see that. No sales though. And only a small one yesterday.

I still have to pack and ship the dinner plates, find the elvis book and contact the buyer about the lassie book and ship it.....  

200 views from Etsy search, Antique Monet jewelry

Here at 3:43 pm I have reached 200 views from Etsy search. The earliest since march or april.  By noon I also had more than 500 total views.  Now I am at 7:13.  I guess the weekends will be busier times?

I got the orange Monet brooch and red crystal Monet bracelet photographed and listed!

It has been an ok day. I got some pics taken. High views. Watching tv. Still have to go to the store. Maybe take some pics. Maybe organize.  Watch more tv this evening.

High views today

So I had more than 135 views from Etsy search by 12 noon and more than 22 google views.  That's pretty good.  I have been renewing alot of listing because I have a good many that would be expiring in the coming days and weeks.  I got some pics taken of new tea cups I got yesterday.  I want to go out this afternoon and take some pics of the great orange Monet brooch I got this week.  It is a sunny day. A good day for it. So that white background shows as white.

I wish I would get healed......
