Just because

… it’s NYE and there’s nothing on TV :rofl: I decided to look through and see what page I’m on, on the newest shops on folksy list - just out of curiosity.
I opened this shop on 11/7/12 (I was here before with another shop) and am on page 153 of 170.

Oh dear Carol. I am page 141 of 170. Unsure of the date I opened my shop but think about March 2016. Then went off and had my own website came back approx February 2019. Did not close my shop just had empty and on holiday for 3 years.

How spooky! I looked mine up out of idle curiosity yesterday and I was on page 125.

I was really surprised as I didn’t think I’d been here that long compared to lots of people

Where do I find this list please? I’m guessing I’ll be near the front somewhere as I’ve only been here two years.

I am pleased to see a few regular, familiar faces from the forum around the same page as me.

Handy Hint.
If you use this url you can easily chop your way along the pages by simply changing the page number :
h ttps://folksy.com/new-sellers?page=170

I’ve had to put a space after initial h or it will show the page not the url

I’m on page 167, but I noticed that there are only 170 page, that seems a lot fewer than a few years ago.

I guessed a starting page of 150 so went forwards from there :


I’m 169 so was very easy to find :),

Have to admit to be totally puddled by the Folksy own high fives mentioning a total active of shops of 5073 in November ? because I have Never seen it get quite to 4000 even… and I certainly did a check at some point in November and it was below never above 4000 when i checked. ?
At current page count of 170 that is 3400…so does that mean 1600 have left since November and not allowing for the daily new joiners ?

Pheewww, thanks Joy, thought I’d disappeared altogether! :upside_down_face:

I’ve got to page 128 and haven’t found me yet (I worked backwards) I joined in 2008. If anyone sees me on your own searches, can you let me know! I haven’t got the energy to keep checking (Mid Covid!) but now I really want to know! lol
Oh, I am in holiday mode at the moment - wonder if that makes me invisible!

You need to work backwards from the last page which incidently is not 171… those holiday shops are opening fast :). You are not there and you are normally there after me as i am a mere youngster at 2009 . So must as you say not show you in your holiday mode. Does that mean that >=1600 shops are currently on holiday ?

Must recheck / count in a couple of days when all the decorations are down across the country and all those shops have reopened :rofl:
