Has anybody ever sold any item on lov.li by now???

I almost forgot about that page ever since I signed up. Honestly I don’t like the design of that page and it isn’t well organized either. But nevertheless there are lots of sellers listing their products…

I listed some items but more to make promotion and spread my name and link, I don’t await to sell anything. I wonder if others do…Or do we all list because it is free promotion?

And what aubout blujay?

Anybody selling there? Or as well just doing some PR and collecting links?

Well, just a thought.

…or why da Wanda is still too small:

Ok, first thing I have to mention on this is that I do know that Etsy is much bigger than little da Wanda and that it is not fair to compare but I feel so much more wellcome and comfortable on Etsy that this post just has to be written now.

I run my little da Wanda store for several month now but never felt really good with it. Sure was I proud when I opened and made my first sale and met other sellers in Indiepublic or wherever. But even though da Wanda is german and should be much easier for me to use, I connected others in english-spoken communities and forums, I never got in touch with other german sellers yet.

One view into the german forum on da Wanda always reminds me why I don’t want to take part on their discussions… It just don’t spread the atmosphere like th etsy forum does. It is barely hard to become involved into the german community. On etsy you say “hello!” -and that’s it.

I guess da Wanda still hasn’t enough sellers who chat and talk, and I think as well that it will become very hard for the german section to grow that big. i know there is an english site as well but why shoul I take part on english da Wanda when I can have english Etsy wich is much bigger and more popular?

So I decided to just let my da Wanda store as it is right now and to hang out on etsy as much as I can (I love the forum and the new virtual labs!). I set up a second etsy store for fabrics and vintage and am working on that right now. (Vintage, another topic that does not exist on da Wanda).

Bye da Wanda!
I’ll be back when you’ve grown a little.
But I have to keep an eye on my own business and etsy is the better place right now.

Today in a week I’ll be in Scotland with the best man of all..
I know almos every country on my continent now so I’m less exited about travelling.
But I am nervous as hell because it is his family we’re going to visit. It’s his mom’s 60th birthday and he has as many relatives as a bunny, literally.
And all with the “not-easy-to-get-for-a-german”-accent, hell, I’m almost scared:)
He rented a car to show me the highlands, so after his mom’s party we’re off for loch ness and stuff, that’s what I#m looking for! And for supplies, of course!

Wow, have you noticed that etsy offers a german button:

Well, german ist not easy, I know.

The button says “me love etsy”, but don’t mind, that’s sweet:)

(Next time write “liebe”, uncapitalized, it’s a verb then and the correct message is “I love etsy” as I think you want it to be)

we are all sick of this colour combination after chrismas has not been too far away yet, are we?

Are we?

Uhm.

One can perfectly wear this in summer, I promise:)

Winter in Berlin is not what it once was. It is definitely too warm. That wouldn’t bother me that much, I’m not a fan of blue lips and frozen fingers:) But it is rainy these days and in that case I would prefer snow instead. Actually I accept almost any weather instead of rain and grey skies… Most people do, I guess.

Some would say rain and darkness are perfect conditions to surf the internet or to create some new things for etsy and others. Well, I do. I do a lot. But I finally became short in supply and the supplies I ordered have not arrived yet. So I surfed and found a lot of beautiful things… and I bought them:)

Grey weather is making me poor these days! Come on, winter, give me some snow and sunshine! That’s your job!

…and setup a bozontee store on etsy.

Well, we’re not finished yet, the first items are just a try to see how the most famous handmade plattform works. Even if it was clear that it couldn’t be that complicated:)

Beneath jewelry we are about to add a vintage section. I’ve found so many stylish and cool bags and wallets from former times that have to be loved by somebody:)

SO come on and visit bozontee on etsy!

P.S. First item in my vintage section will be this croco leather imitation bag:

 Let me just say that I will never ever sell real crocodile leather!

Some green, some gold, a little blue…
I love this combination!

We had this combination of colours before but this is probably the best result yet.

LOOK what I’ve found!
beaducation is a fantastic site for all who work with beads, beginner as well as professionals!

The site offers video instructions for any pattern and when you found your favorite design you can order the material directly from their shop, it’s great!

It was never so easy to improve and to create new beautiful jewelery, just give it a try!
