Folksy 365 - Daily Listing Challenge Thread - MARCH 2019

Yes freeezzzinnng here too Elly @EllyRowbothamPrintmaker Gorgeous little munchkin photo :heart_eyes:
Despite the glorious sunshine I have failed getting a good photo ,so no listing :neutral_face:
Well done on getting your 50th sale Rachel @Verchielbeadsandjewellery :tada::tada::dancer:
Hope you are recovering from dentist trauma Sarah @thedotterypotter
Love the colours of that Harris tweed Simone @rosesworkshop
Take it a WHOLE lot easier Claire @ClaireMortArtist but I am sure you know that now . It’s so difficult doing nothing and resting but needs must . At least you do actually feel good in yourself to want to do things . Can you read that book you’ve been meaning to read for ages?? some gentle sketching in a good reclining position (that would be quite hard thinking about it ) take care anyway.
Enjoy the evening .

Sorry are you saying I’m not charging enough for postage? I suppose we all have to deside what service suit our own circumstances best.

Everything bar my cushions are small parcels and I pay for my postage online so get at least 10p discount. I’m minutes from my local PO and since Royal Mail have updated their system so I can see if a parcel had been delivered (without using signed for) I find that sufficient for my needs as well as keeping costs down for my customers.

The dentist was OK thanks everyone :slight_smile: I had x-rays of my back teeth no problem (even though the other rubbish dentist said he couldn’t do it that far back…strange!) They have referred me to the hospital about my jaw as the dentist said there is a problem. I also have to have a filling in two weeks time…that will be the real test…eeeeeek! Sarah @PhotoFairytales, I did embarrass myself a bit tbh and Mr DP always comes with me otherwise I would run away…lol! My old dentist used to call him my bodyguard!

Jennifer @JenStarKnits you have to charge what you feel comfortable with. I have to take into account my trip to town and the cost of my packaging but all in all I seriously undercharge for my items and so people are still happy with the final price. I sometimes lose out on the postal charges but I suck that up myself.
If I use My Hermes then I am undercharging. and not charging at all for any packaging.
Sometimes people forget that it is postage and ā€œpackagingā€ (P&P)…but it is up to individuals what they charge and why. No one can decide for another person what they should ask and of course customers also have to decide what they are happy with.

Claire @ClaireMortArtist glad the painting /card arrived quickly and glad you like it…I hope to do more cartoons this week…bored with landscapes at the moment…lol…xxx

Evening.
Glad you survived the dentist ok Sarah @thedotterypotter
Congratulations on the milestone Rachel @Verchielbeadsandjewellery
Wow Sue @Susieshackletontextiles what have you found in your attic to make that much?
Claire @ClaireMortArtist do take care. Time to do the gentle thinking / planning stuff at the moment. Think you might have to forego the award for Best Garden of the Town for this year - there’s always next year

Hubby and I have been doing a bit of armchair coaching for England - seem to have done a good job as they have won 5 - 1

@ClaireMortArtist I hope you find something easy going to keep yourself entertained with, because it doesn’t sound like you’ll be happy with nothing for weeks!

Congratulations on your sales milestone @Verchielbeadsandjewellery.
Do take it easy @ClaireMortArtist.
I have been very busy with the day job over the last couple of days, hope to catch up on loving and pinning later.
My sheep watercolour has sold to an American buyer, but on the dark side I’m afraid. I’d much rather it was here, but I’m pleased to break my March sales duck by whatever means.

Evening all!

Ooh congrats on that milestone @Verchielbeadsandjewellery!

Glad the dentist was a successful mission @thedotterypotter

Congrats on your sale @ChrisStoneArtist :rose:

Don’t overdo it @ClaireMortArtist I’ve been telling my mum the same thing after finding her down the garden today after having her new knee last week!

I’ve adjusted my postage prices. I absorb a lot like boxes and packing, so they did need to go up a little.

Aww @EllyRowbothamPrintmaker what a cutie!

I’m really impressed with your clearing out and selling @Susieshackletontextiles

Children a little better, but husband I’ll now. :joy:

A new one from me, this could be a keyring or pendant!

Caught up to here.
Congrats to those with sales @erkinwald, @silverbirchstudio and anyone else I’ve forgotten due to the lateness of the hour.
Your stuff is fab @PhotoFairytales, hope that elusive sale happens for you soon. If it’s any consolation, this month does seem to have been a poor month for many of us. I blame it on all the uncertainty over the ā€œBā€ word, perhaps some people are reluctant to make non-essential spends. Hopefully it will be sorted soon. We can only hope.
My Minions sheep painting has sold on the dark side to an American buyer, but the card version is very much alive and kicking on Folksy! Note to self: must amend my international shipping rates on both sites now that the prices have gone up!

@ChrisStoneArtist Glad you finally got a sale this month, even if it was elsewhere. I hope you and everyone else who’s waiting finally gets sales here in the last few days.

I’ve got one of my favourite paintings today. It wasn’t my favourite while I was doing it… 10 years ago but I still remember the hatred of painting the strings, but it’s still one of the pieces I’m most proud of
(…really need to take a better photo of it on the fireplace though to give better scale, I just wanted to get it listed).

Good morning everyone! Son had his stitches and staples out yesterday! Yay! He has a post op consultation with his surgeon on Thursday, so fingers crossed. Still can only lay down or stand, no stilling allowed, but he’s at least able to shower now.
Thanks everyone for your kind messages.
