Evening all,

Iā€™ve spent today in the local park with a friend putting the world to rights!! Was a lovely day in the sunshine and really lifted both our spirits!

Martin @MartinShackletonCeramics sorry to hear about your car, I always find I tend to hold my breath whenever mine is due in the garage

Some more earrings from me today: https://folksy.com/items/7140106-Peach-Glass-Pearl-Coin-Earrings

Good morning yay happy dancing for your sales Sarah :dancer:. Hope sales pick up for you, just checked mine and itā€™s high this month than last year, but about the same as the year before so holding my own, but it has been grouped together so long periods with no sales then 2 together. Been slightly busier over the way.

Not been good for me either Sarah @thedotterypotter, just the one sale early in the month. Maybe they are all out enjoying the weather while it lasts :sunny: I suspect its the reason for my dip in enthusiasm.

Another remake of a scarf you have seen before but one of my more popular ones at craft fairs (although strangely not online) so thought I would replenish my stock.

Hi everyone! Pack of baby pink set of 6 stitch markers / bag charms from me today.https://folksy.com/items/7140138-Pink-Crochet-Stitch-Markers-Set-of-6 I have had a few duplicate styles, but different colours and try to change my wording on each listing. If some of the text is copied does anyone know if this effects your listing. Anyone have any tips of what they do please?

Morning everyone,
Well the final cost was an eye watering closer to Ā£700 than I would have liked! But they did paint the tyres black as well to make them look newā€¦ I think they should have gold plated them for that price. Sarah @SarahDesignsUK my brother in law has always dealt with my previous cars, or found good deals, heā€™s in the trade, however, with these more up to date cars, you have to take them to a specialist garage. Oh well, Iā€™ve had nearly 40 years of cheap motoring! At least I donā€™t have to pay the insurences the youngsters have to today! (yet!)

Sarah @thedotterypotter I donā€™t really have a track record for my shop, I started (on here) in 2016 but didnā€™t always keep it up. But so far, out of all the bills I have, this one is the lowest by far.
I have been potting and selling all my adult life!

Morning all.
looks set to be another lovely sunny day, although the post man informes me it is all about to change. That is typical just before half term!

So pleased I managed to get more of these beads at the gem show last weekend, the first two necklaces sold really quickly, so fingers crossed.

Yep, those were the cheap-motoring days Martin @MartinShackletonCeramics - like when Points could be revived with a bit of wetā€™nā€™dry. My poor son is currently facing Russian roulette with his van, dependant on whether he has 1 or more failing injectors which apparently are part computerised!!! if more than one is faulty, the van isnā€™t viable to fix. Each injector is Ā£150 + Ā£50 to fit!!!:astonished:

The story of our century is going to be a massive waste pile of unfixable stuff.

Which is poignant, because yesterday I cleaned up my olā€™Gt-Gt-Auntā€™s 1915 Typewriter & it still functions!!! - So, Not just you Roz, @OrchardFelts I managed to procrastinate all day yesterday which has put me back a day that I canā€™t afford!!! :neutral_face:

So doing the paper tearing today, that I shoulda done yesterday :roll_eyes:

To save you from another re:list - hereā€™s what Wheal Margery Bee looked like when it was a drawing

The waste of it all Elly, and itā€™s not like public transport is a cheap or suitable alternative. Back in the day, white goods used to last so long as well, these days they need replacing every few years. Itā€™s not just the expense, but the mountain of unnecessary waste. I hope your sons van survives :green_heart::green_heart::green_heart:

@Verchielbeadsandjewellery Iā€™ve vague recollection that google likes a minimum of 30% variance between listings before it starts thinking something is a bit spammy (as far as I know the folksy search algorithm doesnā€™t have such a requirement) so if youā€™ve only got a sentence or 2 that are the same you should be fine. If each set is different colours and shapes then make sure you mention those attributes and throwing in a few other appropriate descriptors like ā€˜bright and cheerfulā€™ or ā€˜pastel and feminineā€™ will differentiate the listings from each other so google wonā€™t object.

Crikey Martin @MartinShackletonCeramics, that really is steep!!! Itā€™s crazy how much it can cost to get cars fixed these days.

Iā€™m frantically trying to get stock made for a craft fair on Sunday. My sales on here have slowed down this last week which leaves more stock for the craft fair but, on the other hand, Iā€™m approaching a milestone (currently on 197 sales) so it would be nice to get to that 200. I remember waiting a painfully long time to hit 100 and it was torture! :laughing:

Todayā€™s listing - back to coin purses again (Iā€™m so proud of myself that Iā€™m managing to keep up with new listings, I didnā€™t think I would!!)

Afternoon everyone,
Sorry to hear about your car Martin @MartinShackletonCeramics. Itā€™s been an expensive year for car repairs for us too, mainly due to potholes I suspect. Itā€™s a bit chilly up here today in total contrast to Monday when I was roasting. Might have to dig the jumpers back out of the wardrobe.:roll_eyes:

A sale to report please Max @MaxPringJewellery, thanks to a fellow lister.

Just a relist today.

Afternoon everyone. Hope you are all keeping well and hayfever isnā€™t playing up too much Max @MaxPringJewellery and any other sufferers. I keep having mad sneezing fits but thatā€™s all thank goodness.

Enjoy an evening of sunshine, if possible, as people keep saying itā€™s all going to change soon ā€¦
