For some reason people love to shop with me on the weekends; which give me plenty of time to load new items and ship out the ones I've sold... great for all of you out there who think my fulfillment skillz suck.

Not much else to say today, so I'll just post by goodies for the day:








It's Teaman!
I just love the way he packages his teas! He's an Etsian as well; put I thought highlighting his teas on ArtFire would give him a bit of a hand -- like he needs it!
BUYERS CHOICE 4 OUNCES LOOSE LEAF TEA IN GIFT TIN



I want to get this for my Tiny Dancer!
CROCHET BAKING UTENSILS - PDF PATTERN from KTBDESIGNS




Yes, Lavender can be eaten. This is the first time I've seen lavender used for something else besides a bath, body or home item, so I have to share!
ROYAL VELVET CULINARY LAVENDER from WILDBLOSSOM

Okay, I'm good for the day... Everyone have a great Sunday (unless it's another day where you are)

It has been hard working without glasses! About a week ago, my old glasses snapped in my hands; I've been having to deal with temporary contact lenses. There are cool things about contacts, but not for this nearsighted person; I can't move my contacts when I need to do close up work, so I look like an idiot trying to string beads.

I did manage to make a few pieces, though, which are now available for sale at 1KM. My favorite are these pacific opal Swarovski earrings. Of course, I looked completely crazy while doing them, but I do believe they came out rather nicely.

Without further ado, here are my artisans of the day; and keep a look out for the right column for a featured seller soon!









Have a great day!

On Etsy, feedback is king. Or queen. Or Prime Minister. Something like that. While most folk have a Feedback rating of 100%, some of us sorry sots are not so lucky.

In the past (and apparently lately), I've had some... let's call them "issues" with the Post Office. Basically, packages aren't getting to my customers in a timely manner. While "timely" can be a subjective thing, I would call one month not quite a "timely" manner.

As such, I've gotten a few knocks on the Feedback meter. Out of 138 sales, I've gotten 4 negative feedbacks. Four. One of them was a complaint that she only got 4.2 loads in a 6 load package. One was the person who complained about not receiving the package -- on the day she received the package. Wow.


So, what does 4 negative feedbacks give me for a percentage?
96%

Gasp! Clutch the pearls! Seriously, under most circumstances, that's a solid A. That'll get you a pat on the back; get you a gold star, a smiley face, it may even get a kid into a pretty good school.

Not on Etsy. 96 percent puts you in the category of the kids who skip class and hang out behind the school, smoking and spitting.

Can we say, losing sales because of 4 terrible feedbacks? Can we say I had a person actually tell me that my feedback turned her away? Then I will, because that is what happened.

So, kiddies, please watch your feedback. It can kill you, even if the situation is not under your control. Ah well, we shall see if I can bounce back from it.
