The Power of Positive Thinking.

So, my etsy store has been open officially since June 15 and I've made three sales. Three sales in less than a month...I should be more excited than I am. I guess because I spend most of my time toiling away in front of the computer being active in forums, on livejournal, myspace and facebook so I can get visibility, I'm not super excited. I read something on the etsy forums about the power of positive thinking, and it was sort of funny that right after I repeated to myself over and over, "you will make a sale, you will make a sale"...I did. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with anything...but, I guess it couldn't have hurt.

I've been thinking of adding handcast resin jewelry to my store. I'm shopping around for kits and molds right now. Beyond that, I'm adding a line of rings and pins made from dollhouse miniatures, provided I can find some that are affordable. Well, okay, cheap. Ebay hasn't really hooked me up with anything to my liking yet, but I'll keep trying. I don't have a craft store around in my neighborhood, so, I feel like my resources are cut a little bit because of that. My bottom line suffers every time I have to order something and pay shipping fees.
