morning all…
I have a pinterest page but I have no idea what sort of page it is. When I list on here I always cick the Pin button and share it but I have no idea if it links back here or not…too much technical stuff for my brain.

Morning all, it’s a bit overcast this morning. Thank you for your kind thoughts yesterday.

I’m glad you’re feeling a bit brighter today Caroline @Caroleecrafts.

I still haven’t got to grips with Pinterest, it’s on my to do list! I didn’t know about the Folksy clubhouse so I’ve asked to join. Hopefully it will give me some ideas.

Morning everyone,

Responding to previous discussions about Pinterest. It is something I haven’t really used for my shop. Was wondering how people go about using it?

As for the listing today just a small

Morning everyone :slight_smile:

@cerysbcrafty - on Pinterest, you can create picture boards of things that interest you. A few years ago on the daily listing club we used to love and also pin every item but Max @MaxPringJewellery discovered that if you pinned too many items in one day it affected your ability to be seen. So we then started pinning probably no more than 6 items a day.
I’m not sure if that it still the case but you can use Pinterest to showcase your own work or others from here and if people search for it, they get the option of clicking a direct link to your item on Folksy. Folksy have released their latest 3 months stats and have said that Pinterest drives a high proportion of customers here, so it seems worthwhile to keep pinning!

My listing today is a purple ceramic heart:

Well yesterday didnt quite pan out as originally planned and despite now having a long list of projects to start no crafting occured. On Friday I got an email from the medical centre asking me to book an appointment for my “annual blood test” - never had an annual blood test in my life so thinking it may be a scam I got in touch with them and apparently I had a blood test in 2017 that showed pre diabetic levels … and so they are following it up 7 years later!! As a consequence, after a shift at the gallery I had to go for a blood test. Then realised it was the 1st of the month and all the artists at the gallery need paying so spent time doing the statements by which time it was time for a long walk with Holly. Got home, made dinner and spent the evening watching tennis. Maybe I’ll be more productive today although from my list of jobs to get done it looks unlikely :slight_smile:
Anyway, I still have a couple of things made to share with you so heres another new one.

Morning all, brightening here after an overcast start.

I have been planting beans this morning, but now need to tidy my workshop, so that I can mock up my stall display for a fair later in the month.

Quite normal here Roz, get a text every 6 months as does DH. They do preventative rather than cure as easier to deal with something early.

Good morning everyone.

Thank you Sarah @dotterypottery I have linked my IG to my Pinterest (it took a couple of gos but I got there) and will wait and see what happens :blush:

Roz @OrchardFelts Ibalways chalk up anything I get done (planned or not) as a win so you had plenty yesterday.

Glad people are feeling better.

My sales yesterday came from the WIP thread on here which has just started so shows it is worth getting involved.

Just a relist today sorry if you have already seen it.

Pinterest is super useful it seems! The latest IG integrations are great, saves a lot of time and effort. I’ve pinned a few of your makes to this board @SueTrevor and they’re always very popular :blush:

If anyone else wants to have a looksy and join my board it’d be lovely to have you! https://pin.it/2MoZbaahY
