Its funny, I started to get really stressed out about the shop...and then I realized that this is something I'm doing for fun; for me. No pressure unless I apply it. After that, I felt much better. So I'll just be adding a few items at a time for now, probably once a week.
Goodnight everyone!
Hahaha! Relax Kelley Anne... just have fun! I love the second dress... how I wish we are of the same size. xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat first dress is stunning! Your hair, too, looks lovely in these photos. I want that first one -- I'm going to go see if it's my size.
ReplyDelete**Having a side online business can be quite stressful -- I think you're taking a really great approach. :)

That is so right...have fun with it. I love that you are modelling some of the dresses, they always look great on.

ps love your hair like that
These are lovely! Oh don't get stressed out, the shop is there for YOU, not for us (that was a little too ironic). You should be selling because YOU want to, not to please us.
ReplyDeleteI can understand how you feel. I get the same way about my blog. I get all uptight about visits and comments and stuff like that. My husband has to remind me that the whole reason that I blog is because it's supposed to be fun. Let's make a pact that we will focus on the fun and let everything else grow from there!
ReplyDeleteHow I wish that black dress fit me.
ReplyDeleteAnd as you said, it's for you and nobody else. And if you're not having fun then it's not worth doing.

Totally enamored with that second dress!
ReplyDeleteThat green dress is beautiful!

Hi sweetie!
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty! And, yes, you have to pace yourself. You're doing what you love, so make it fun. With me starting my shop, I have to also remember to keep it light & fun! We have to look at this like we're playing "dress up" to look pretty. And, we girls love to play dress up! So, enjoy it! If it becomes a chore to do it, then you shouldn't pursue it. xoxo

I agree with the above bloggers. It's a side project for you (as opposed to a livelihood, as it is for me now), so just enjoy!!! I've had to learn the hard way that running a successful Etsy shop is much harder than it looks, unless you redefine what you mean by "successful"!
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous dresses. I am sure they will sell pretty quickly! I'm glad you reminded yourself that the Etsy store is for fun. It's good to be mindful of that whenever you start to feel that prick of uncertainty which always leads to stress/pressure, etc. It's a wonderful thing that you started up a shop and you should definitely feel good about that!
ReplyDeletehugs!
