Daily Listing and Promotion Challenge October 2026

Welcome to the October 2026 Daily Listing Challenge Thread.

The challenge is to list an item and then post it on this thread each day. Once you have done this, visit all the other participating shops for that day by clicking on their item link and then click the heart :heart:.

It does take a little time each day but it is well worth it because everyone who joins gets the benefit and the group is a lovely supportive place to be.

HOW TO TAKE PART (AND THE RULES)

  1. Post your item for the day to the Challenge thread by copying and pasting the item URL from your Folksy Shop (don’t worry if you are not sure when you start just ask and someone will help). You can post a newly listed item or something already in your shop it does not matter.

  2. On the Challenge thread click on each of the links for everyone’s posted item for that day. This will take you to the item in their shop, and then click on the heart for the item :heart: - this gives the listing a brief appearance on the Folksy front page under ‘Popular Right Now’ (this is the main rule for taking part in the Challenge)

The idea is we all do the same for everyone on the thread which gives us all an extra boost, along with virtual hugs and support from everyone in this lovely community.

If you have time you can also promote fellow daily listers outside of Folksy, such as making a Folksy Friday Board, posting on Facebook or Instagram etc. (Though this isn’t essential, every little helps!)

Don’t worry if you don’t have time for extra promotion yourself, but you can help by liking/commenting on other Folksy Friday boards and other promotion posts on social media.

If you have a Folksy sale while taking part in the Challenge thread post a message on the thread and tag me, Mel @aquilacrafts so we can all celebrate and have a happy dance with you. :woman_dancing:

I will keep a tally of sales during the month and will regularly post about these.

Any questions at all, please ask. Good luck everyone and lets hope the sales fairy will bring lots of sales to all of us x :woman_dancing:x

Happy October!

I have an unsettled day. Decorators in painting son’s room as this is next step in redecorating house which blocks my craft room. I have a bag of crochet in living room for today and kind of hoping for nice weather for the dog and I to sit out in.

My anxiety is up for no major reason but just the painting and a little issue with someone wanting to return an order because THEY didn’t read the description (not on here) has annoyed me. I am accepting the return as I don’t want my lovingly made creation to be in an unwanted home.

Here is today’s listing.

Morning everyone!!

I have no idea what kind of morning it’s going to be because it’s still dark at the moment. It’s always a SAD trigger when I stop being able to open the curtains before I go to bed. I love watching it get light while I’m finishing the night’s writing.

Tomorrow’s (today’s) first mission is to find the new CPAP mask I’ve somehow misplaced. My current one is held together with micropore tape. After that, I’ve got a list of things to make and for the first time in months I’m quite excited to get on with it.

For now, another Christmas relist.

Have a great Thursday!!

Good morning all and happy new month :slight_smile: Thanks to Corinna for looking after us last month and to Mel @aquilacrafts for this month :slight_smile:

Its just a relist from me today as I have not managed to get any photos taken of my new items as lovely Virgin Media have dropped it on us that they are doing away with their email service and we have until November to make new arrangements or pay 99p to transfer to their suggested provider who after the 1st 12 months will charge us about £80 a year :open_mouth: Needless to say I am not going to transfer so I have about 30 years of emails to wade through and tidy up/delete and numerous companies to change my email address with :cry: I think I am almost done and I can get my photos done very soon :wink:

Have a lovely day all :slight_smile: xxx

Good morning everyone. Thank you for hosting this month, Mel @aquilacrafts.

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s lovely makes and catching up with you all this month. I feel a bit out of practice after taking September off, so hopefully I’ll soon get back into the swing of things!

My first listing for the month is a red teaspoon rest.

Following the change in the way I can now acquire the decorative paper for my boxes I have decided to introduce a high degree of exclusivity for purchasers of my boxes. I am now reducing the availability of every item in my shop to just one. If that is sold, I will not be relisting it even though I have the ability to produce multiple copies. If somebody wants to order multiple copies of a box and I can provide them, this box will also not be relisted. This exclusivity will not for the time being apply to different types of box with the same paper.

I am currently looking at how to preserve exclusivity for people who ordered boxes earlier and will be in contact with them when I have worked out the best solution. My listing today is a relist from the Oriental Magic collection.
