I would like to know more about selling on Etsy, also. My son was trying to sell his hand carved walking sticks but had no luck.
Kris....I just looked at the Patchwork Chenille baby quilt, that you have for sale, and all I can say is...."WOW"!!! Gorgeous :shock: :shock: I had chenille bedspreads when I was growing up and have nostalgic feelings toward them.
Funny story about chenille bedspreads. When I was growing up my parents had a summer cottage and my mother would keep older bedding items, etc. there. One spring, when they opened the cottage up for the summer, she found that all of the chenille bedspreads were missing the little chenille tufts. It seems that the mice enjoy chenille also and had pulled all of the tufts out to line their nests :mrgreen:

I just added you to my favorites :)
I meant to check out your tags but I forgot. Be sure to use as many as possible and the more items - the better! One buyer may be looking for lady bugs while another may be looking for turtles, then once they visit your shop for that item, they will see others that are too cute to pass up on.
I don't buy fabric wholesale, sometimes I just over buy or I buy something and after a year I don't use it and I decide to sell it, my tastes in fabrics change.
I like Etsy because the fee's are less but it may sit in my shop for months.
I hope this helps some??

Is that fabric from your stash or do you wholesale? If you wholesale mind sharing how you got started with that? I would love to be able to offer fabric and kits but not sure about the whole process of it.

It took me a while to get the hang of Etsy. I would advise your son to go check out other carved walking sticks, check out their item "tags" which are actually what people search for when they look for an item. Tags are the #1 mistake people make, I also think good pictures are the key to success along with the right price. It is hard for somebody to see the quality on a computer, be sure to describe as much as possible and provide as detailed pictures as possible.
