Morning all, thank you for your kind thoughts and virtual hugs.
Can I add one to the tally please Max @MaxPringJewellery
I am finding with the new layout on my iPad that the main picture is so big I am having to scroll to get to the buy button. And lots of pics now look a bit out of focus.

Glad I am not the only one Lynn, as you said this should have been done in the New Year not before Christmas.
It is too clunky.

I find if I right click on the main picture and then click on ‘share’ I can find a link to Fb and Twitter among other things, but no Pinterest. But… it obviously depends on your browser. This doesn’t work for Francis @thatenamelguy. He did show me a very complicated method of getting to Pinterest, but it is so time consuming (such a faff really) that I’m afraid pinning as far as I’m concerned has become of thing of the past. I know I’m a bit of a dinosaur, but I feel as several others clearly do. Fed up.
I do see that it looks a lot better on a phone. I don’t know about other sellers, but there is no way I can manage my shop on the phone, and things have become much clumsier on the laptop from the sellers point of view. So far I have spent the whole morning trying to promote my Folksy friends’ items rather less successfully than I would like, and haven’t yet found time to even list anything of my own. Aaaaaagh!

Morning All 
Oh dear…the new layout 
Really makes promoting anything tricky. Fingers crossed this will be resolved.
Today I’ve listed a new painting I’ve called, “Shorewatch”. Not a day for it here…snowing! Have a fine day all.

Morning,
I’ve had a bit of a dilemma about the fair I was booked on tomorrow - it’s the only ‘big’ one I had this year and it’s one that I love, with lots of regular customers but… earlier in the week my son tested positive for Covid and although I’m negative and don’t have to isolate according to the rules, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable in case I unknowingly passed it on. Anyway, this morning my sister and nephew are also positive, and we spent time with them earlier in the week so that’s swung it and I have pulled out of the fair. I just don’t want to risk passing it on. Of course there is the added bonus that I now won’t have to worry about my gazebo in the forecast 55mph winds!!
Fingers crossed for a flurry of folksy sales!!

I’ve done another Christmas board to pick up a few more from here past and present and some I owe from further afield.

Surely the whole point is to make it easy for buyer and seller alike. The buttons going does not help self promotion which we have to do ourselves. This may work on a phone but not everyone uses a phone to buy and sell. It should be perfect over all platforms. As you said Joss if we have to spend hours promoting will not bother. Doubt if we will be listened to, as I am one of the older ones.

Im a bit late today! This morning was the usual singing, followed by a spot of Christmas shopping.
Yesterday I discovered that most of my listings had expired, but fortunately I am back up to around 150 now with lots of sale items. Heres todays garnet bracelet

Afternoon Everyone,
Mel @aquilacrafts what a nuisance you’ve had to cancel your fair, but you’re doing what is tight for you. I’ve come across too many people who are a bit too relaxed about it all. Hope you’re all ok.
Deborah @DeborahJonesJewellery sorry to hear you’re having a rough time. Sending hugs.
I’ve found the Pintrest button, but not Twitter 
It’s a cheeky relist today Of an elegant lady with dog card.
