I've opened an etsy shop!

I've finally done it! I've opened an etsy shop, to sell my paintings................... I can't quite believe I got my act together..................... It's taken a lot of planning.............. from creating the shop, with much umming and aaahhing ................... ........ Umming and aahhing, over which of the above images to use as the banner for my etsy shop............. to mastering how to list each item................... .................. In the end, I chose the simplest of the four images I painted, to use as my etsy shop banner ....... I also had to decide how to price my paintings............. difficult one that......... In the end, taking into consideration the current financial climate, I decided to price them very low, and hopefully affordable for most people...... ................. So if you're searching for a Christmas present, an unusual gift of an original painting.................. you might be interested in looking at my etsy shop, here, where my paintings are priced from $20 to $50...................... bargain! my etsy shop 7 p.m update: Would you believe it! I've sold six of my paintings already!!!!!!!!!!! I'm in shock that they're being bought............... and terribly excited............. I can't quite believe it!!!!!!!!! That's three private sales, and three through etsy!.............. I'm so excited, so, so excited! Big grin on my face!

Oh my good grief! School fees? Mortgage? Christmas Turkey? NO! I want a picture! They are all beautiful - it has shot to the top of my Etsy faves list and my wish list!
Fantastic, well done and the very best of luck! t.xx

((((CONGRATULATIONS))))
You finally did it Vanessa, and I am so so so pleased for you!! Two sales on your first day, doesn't that juts make you want to go marching to that stuffy gallery and go nah-nah-na-nah-nah??? LOL!!
They look beautiful all together, I love the pink-on-pink one, might have to consider that as a partner for my lovely little prilualas.

Your prices are very reasonable, and I feel just right/ Perfect in fact.

Could I also suggest that you open a Flickr account? For one thing your paintings would look beautiful there. But for another thing you can add them to group pools and link to your etsy shop, it's a good way to increase awareness,. oooo aren't I just the proper little business advisor, I don't mean to be bossy, but am SO EXCITED for you!

Good luck,well done, open a bottle of champagne.

Thanks so much for doing this, Vanessa - I've wanted to own a sample of your work since I began reading this blog, and am happy to be able to purchase one! Best wishes for this new venture!

Much wailing and gnashing of teeth here at The Chez. I am sure that the pictures that were sold were the lovely berry ones. I will just have to hang around in case there is a late delivery!

Oh, how great is that!
Congrats on the new etsy-shop!
And a big wow on the sales!!! Prepare yourself for more Christmas sales!
Am I so glad, that this started so well!

I would join you and Lucy to walk to THE gallery (as long as we go for a coffee/tea afterwards *g*)...

Well done you! It's so lovely when you realise that people 'get' what you're doing. The shop looks great too. Congratulations!
