4 Sales In One Day and...

several yesterday...Must be my Christmas rush. It's about 50/50....half of my Etsy sales are miniatures by nanette and the other half are supplies from steampunk suppliers.

And I now have my work placed in that lovely store downtown I mentioned in a previous post. This is a unique situation. I have done a bit of consignment in a few stores which, as you know, I don't particularly like because store owners tend to push and sell what they have paid for and so consignment merchandise tends to gather dust.

And over the years I've had my work in over 400 stores (not on consignment), but this store arrangement is a first.

Here's why: I rent shelf space for a small fee each month and then I get to keep whatever dollars I sell without a split with the store. That is unique!!!! I think sometimes antique co-operatives do this but I have never heard of crafts being sold this way.

I am happy with this arrangement because I drop by the store every so often and replenish what has been sold.

The other news is that I have been designing NEW things for the store in addition to my miniatures which have been around for awhile. I may even put some of my steampunk finished pieces in my steampunk suppliers Etsy store online as well.

I'll let you know how it goes.

In the meantime, I am still here in Oregon, (USA), up in the snowy mountains, sitting in my living room cozy in front of the fire. Winter has only just started and weather will be this way as late as March or April. So I hope I am kept busy with those orders coming in as they have.

Love,

Nanette
