Time to get my stuff on Etsy!


I keep waiting until I have a stash of hats large and impressive enough before adding them to my Etsy shop. Today I realized that that day only exists in my mind & will never come. It's up to me to make it come by:

1) Taking pictures of my creations to date. This is hard if you don't have a child's head the correct size to fit the hat. I have plenty of cute girl hats that fit well on my two year old son's head, but if I choose to use him as a model I think he'll find out somewhere down the road and (quite correctly) hold it against me.

2) Figuring out how shipping charges work on Etsy. Seems as though they're not based on zip code the way they are on eBay. You have to enter shipping charges per best guess, or use the USPS website to average out charges. Whee! How exciting! Not to mention that I want to ship out internationally, and that's a whole 'nother new ball of wax.

3) Actually adding my creations to my store & opening for business!

It probably makes sense to add things as time goes by instead of waiting until I have hundreds of hats backlogged, then trying to do it all at once.

Wish me luck!
