Brilliant news Brenda, get listing! :smile:

Don’t work too hard Max, enjoy your long weekend.

woohoo…I have just done a first listing…can one of you lovely ladies tell me what the ā€œfeatured listingā€ button is for when I do the shopkeeping? I already move each listing to the top of the page, so it is already showing at the top. Is this a new button or something for the PLUS accounts?
I clicked it and did a little sentence about it but not sure where that has gone…lol…
All a new learning curve for me…
I now have plans to paint a lot of greetings cards as well…my mind is in over drive !!..lol…
Waving Hazel and Margaret.

Sounds good Brenda

The featured items you select appear in your shop at the top above the categories You select as many as you like to be featured and folksy rotates them in the area :smile:

Hope this helps

Hazel

still baffled Hazel (doesn;t take a lot) when I list an item, I always move it to the top so the just listed item is there at the top and also in the collections…nothing looks any different to me?..
It was you who kindly set up the shop for me, so perhaps you can see for me…not that it matters really, I am quite happy with it…just curious really.
I probably won;t sleep much tonight…I will be thinking of all the things I am going to list.,…ha ha…

Your shop looks good Brenda … The featured section is not essential to use.

I use it to show off pictures that appear further down the pages to highlight them. But as I say it’s not essential and actually takes up quite a lot of room at the top of the listings. So why not just get on with your listing - the fun bit … Don’t worry about the features bit for now :slight_smile:

I do use the shopping keeping facility to move things around but when you get so many listed as long as they are in the categories I’m not too worried about the order myself :slight_smile:

Look forward to seeing your new full shop later

Hope you all have a good Friday

Hazel

Thanks Hazel
Morning all…To start off today I have listed this cartoon greetings card…
I’ll be back later with more listings…(249 to go…ha ha)

Hi all. I’ve been a member of Folksy for a while but haven’t listed anything for ages. With some encouragement from Brenda (teabreaks) I opened a plus account and have just listed some new art. Not sure if I am doing this right but here is a link to one of my items https://folksy.com/items/6631795-Moonlit-walk-Original-watercolour-painting-by-Pamela-J-West.
Let me know if I have done it wrong. I see that others have got pics in their postings

Thanks
Pam xxxx

Waving everyone and welcome Parmeet and Pam :slight_smile: lovely work from everyone, and Brenda it’s great to see that you finally have a plus account!

Husband’s been off work, son is back home and I’ve been puppy sitting almost everyday this week so I’ve had very little time to paint. I attempted a Brusho this morning but it’s heading for the bin…Not often that happens to me lol.

Hopefully normal service will be resumed next week :slight_smile:
