I price my items fairly, based on the cost of the supplies plus the time it took to make the finished product. However, only a dodo would fail to take into account the downswing the economy has taken in the US (where most of my customers are from) even if the economy HERE is not […]
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 […]
I’d like to do a little more collaborative work…making jewellery (hairsticks and so on) using components made by other artists. I’ve done it before…David Christensen cane glass is available for purchase, even in bulk, and it’s beautiful stuff, and though expensive it is still affordable enough to use without having to raise your prices […]

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 […]
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’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 […]
