Boutiquefantastique is my etsy shop for vintage clothes. The avatar is my Auntie Dolly, my mums sister, whom I loved very much. Uncle Joe is the groom.
It is my slowest shop and I was waiting for the magic number of sales - 222- to show up.
It was a bit of a nightmare getting there.
The first #222 ( see below) I could not find and had to cancel the sale. The buyer was very understanding and replied " these things happen" .
The second # 222 sale on a fur coat cancelled within the hour, the same coat received 3 very ( ridiculous ) low ball offers all on the same day and finally sold at #223 on a lay-a-way.
Sale #222 was a sweet 1930s wedding dress going to Florida.
This site needs some attention.....pull your socks up Jan!
Sounds like 222 was a difficult number to reach....now onwards to 333 perhaps? I shouldn't, however, have gone over to peek at that wedding dress because now I am wishful thinking over all things satin and lace for stitching fodder. As if I need it!!
ReplyDelete333 sounds good to me,
DeleteYour aunty Dolly looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI find clothes very hard to photograph as well as linen. I've almost given up buying linen for my vintage shop as I never seem to be able to make it look spotless or pressed enough. I also had to cancel a sale once because I couldn't find the item. What are we like?
I agree, but at least linen is easy to pack and send.
ReplyDeleteBTW, it is not te first time I have 'lost'an item.
I think your photos are beautiful, and your models too.
ReplyDeletethanks Dawn, that makes me feel a bit better
ReplyDeletetaking good photographs is one of the biggest challenges with any online venture I find....if only we could all afford the professionals...
