Remembering my 1st Etsy sale

I've been with Etsy almost a year and a half now.

Just listed a couple of new items, so much faster now than when I

began...

It took me so long at first- to write my profile, and set up my shop.

I listed 3 items and waited for a sale.

Luckily it was only 3 days later and I sold my clay armadillo!

I've learned a lot since my 1st sale!

It still makes me happy thinking about it, I was so excited!

I carefully wrapped the little clay armadillo, so he'd

have a safe trip overseas to the UK!

I included a little thank you gift, (I think it was a bookmark I made),

and boxed it all up. Then I tried the Canada Post shipping through my

Paypal account.

I was shocked when the shipping came out to $33.00!

I only charged $7.00! OMG!!!

After unpacking & repacking (in a smaller box), I was able to get the

shipping down to about $8 or $9 dollars.

What a relief!

Anyhow, I'm much more careful with shipping prices now...

but I'm no less excited with every sale!

Have a great weekend,
