Afternoon Folksy folks!

Braden from Sleepy Panda Workshop (Oswestry, Shropshire). Signed up yesterday hoping for a less crowded marketplace than Etsy so I can get some ROI for my hard work haha.

I make laser-crafted and hand-finish premium wooden gifts, with a focus to book lovers and DnD nerds (very much like myself) — So far my shop is live with my book trackers and bookshelf dividers (also known as Genre Tavern Signs) :grin: I would love your thoughts (and a favourite if they spark joy)!

Cheers,

:panda: Braden

Welcome to Folksy from me. What beautiful original items, though I don’t think my bookcase is big enough to justify sections! I was interested to read you live with M.E/CFS. You do well to make things and run a shop. I wish you every success.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my shop and reply. Neither is my bookcase, my ā€œmythologyā€ tavern sign currently separates only 3 books haha.

Yeah, living with ME/CFS is pretty much a core pillar of my business, with it being the reason I started out of necessity. It certainly makes for a harder and longer grind, and I’m hoping I’ll start seeing some results soon.

Thank you for your kind words :slight_smile:

Welcome, Braden. I am new too and enjoying the community here.

HELP!!!. I need to cancel an order that came through as the lady selected the wrong amount. I have refunded her through PayPal and she has brought again with the correct amount this time. but her other order is still showing on my orders. Does anyone know how I cancel this order? Also don’t want to end up canceling and it refunding her again. Thankyou

Just email Folksy admin in the morning and they’ll sort it out for you. X

Hi all :waving_hand:. Just popping in to say I have listed some ephemera packs - these are all digitally designed by myself and printed from home. Started last year designing. I am on the other platform (E) and doing ok there as I can sell my digital designs. Just wanted to let you know my little Gracie passed away last August :smiling_face_with_tear: she was 15 and half years old, my shop was named after her - never felt grief like it :smiling_face_with_tear:. Hope you are all well, selling online is becoming more and more difficult.

Hi all!

I’m very excited to have just joined Folksy, my first online selling experience as a leathercraft person. The building of my Folksy shop, Pateson leather, only started today so bear with me but I’d love you to have a snoop, as I will be doing to all your shops and crafts! I’m really looking forward to being inspired by your skills and hope we can dazzle the country with our talents! Liz

Welcome to Folksy from me (another Liz). Your shop looks really good, I wish you every success with it. Folksy is a friendly place to be.

Just one small point, I clicked the link to your blog, and it appears to go to website that you can buy your items from. I don’t think Folksy allow links directly to alternative selling platforms.

Morning Liz,

Thanks for the comments and heads up. You can’t actually buy through my website (the website costs would be too high!) but will look into the Folksy rules regardless. I’m in the process of sorting out my ā€˜online presence’ as the youngsters call it - I’m slowly getting the hang of it aged 46!

Have a great Wednesday,

Liz

My mistake, I just saw the little basket sign in the corner and assumed that meant you could buy! My understanding of anything remotely techy is extremely basic … hats off to you for working on an online prescence and having a website! But then you are just a youngster…I am old enough to be your mother!

Hi, I’m Paul. I live in a remote area next to a bunch of fields in a village. I work as a. Professional data monkey. I have been learning to make jewellery for the past three months or so. Really enjoying it. Whenever I make anything my wife has first dibs, then it’s put on this lovely site.

I commute to London two days a week. And I take great joy in leaving mystery bags with some of my practice pieces in them randomly. Usually with a letter along the lines of ā€œTo: You. Love from: The universeā€. It’s good to spread the joy :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyhow, very happy to be here. Looking forward to perusing the stalls :grin:
