Etsy's best kept secret & Plushka is going global

Well, I am experimenting again. I re-opened my Etsy shop as I thought it's time to go International! I was pleasantly surprised with new functions and features and have been happily loading my creations in the new shop...

I read a lot of advice on Etsy Community forums, how to tag properly and write listing titles so my items come up better in a search. However, I couldn't even dream that there is a program that will check for you if you've done it right... 

Guess what? There is one! 

It's called EtsyShoptimiser and it's awesome! 

After a few clicks and I got "F" for my Announcement so I fixed it straight away and now working on my "B"s...

Go to EtsyShoptimiser and grade your shop!

I would love to know what you think, was it helpful? 

Little pre-Christmas present...

Plushka is offering 20% off in her new Etsy shop.

Hot weather and staying at home all day can often result in....

a few new felt brooches made for the shop

and an amazing new blog found - Miss Paris. If you are looking for some inspiration, make sure you check this blog out. Its bright and colourful pictures made me feel in Paris walking around markets.....

it's open! Yay!

I can finally tell you my little bit of news! I spend a few weeks trying to stock my little shop and now it is open. Yay!

I called it “La vie quotidienne” as I love making small practical things for everyday life. It still needs improvements but I've put it out there, so now I cannot go back. I've been postponing this moment for quite some time. I've been getting a lot of inquiries, encouragement from my parents and friends, nagging from my husband who was tired of hearing me talk about my own shop.

Thanks to everyone who's given me the little kick in the butt. I still have so many things to finish: pin cushions, felt toys, bags etc. Nevertheless I've made the first step!

I am celebrating the opening of my shop with a GIVEAWAY tomorrow!!! So stay tuned!
