I only make orders from my main supplier once or twice a year, because shipping is VERY expensive (even the cheapest option) and the discounts are WAY better if you order in bulk. So I make giant orders to save on shipping and get nearly 50% off what the cost would be if I was […]
Etsy is STILL down. But at least I know the reason why. Etsy moved their servers to a new data center…which means that their IP addresses have changed. Some ISPs update daily on these things but others are slower, more like once a week. So anyone who has an ISP like […]
It’s very hard to update the shop blog when I’m not at all feeling like making hairsticks or other jewellery, as I can’t talk about shopping or Etsy stuff all the time and when I don’t feel like making things, I don’t feel like talking about making things, either.
I think it’s unfortunate that ‘making things’ […]
Getting this place totally cleaned up again was great; I got 5 pairs of all-natural sticks (one with a bead drop dangle) done yesterday. It just feels so much easier to do things when you don’t have to clear a spot to do them in, first, or if you don’t have to look for the […]
Don’t forget, the contest starts tomorrow!
I’m seriously considering changing my shipping charges, as lately I’ve found that my strand sticks border right on the 100 gram mark, which means that rather than being $1.92 to ship (to the USA) they cost $3.20. I’m going to have to charge the higher price for all strand sticks […]
The problem with taking pictures in natural light is that the quality of it varies every day. So please forgive me for the two poor photos to come…it’s snowing today and I’m just not getting enough light for proper colour and focus. But I have a custom order to fill, so I need to post […]
I lucked out today…I managed to find more of the clear stacking containers I use to store my jewellery supplies. They had been out of stock for months. So I picked up 30 more of them and am going to get seriously organized, today. Want to see what I use? I […]
January 1st, 2008 marks the first day that The Far Grove is open to the public. Yay! Exciting, scary, exhausting. I’ll be on the computer all day as I am listing one item per hour for a total of ten items today. If you want to sell on Etsy some day, DON’T […]
I do take custom orders. In fact, I kind of like them. If you wish to make one, here are some things you may wish to keep in mind. You may have no preference in some of the categories below…that is fine. Just make sure to include anything you really want […]
I’m always curious about how artists and entrepreneurs price their goods, and I don’t want to leave you guys in suspense. I can tell you exactly how I price my goods, though I price by ‘feel’ as much as I price by accounting practises. For me, sticks of the same type will cost […]
