Shop Update

I've been a super busy bee lately! I took two weeks off from the day job and spent a good majority locked away in my work room updating the Ebay Shop! I sadly let the business slide downhill very quickly, when I started a new job a few years ago and moved in with my then partner. But! Alas! A new friend encouraged me to get back into it and now I'm so happy I did. If you know me personally you'll know I like to be kept busy, as much as I like a lazy day every now and then I've always got to be doing something (very rarely am I sat still!) So having the shop back up and running gives me a feeling of having more purpose and productivity.

I used to get frustrated the shop because it was very much in dribs and drab, however now the photos are much better and the listings are all neatly to the same format, so I feel like its a lot more organised and less messy - which is a definite plus for me & my OCD!

The majority of my stock is listed on the ebay shop...

and slowly but surely I'll be using my spare time to share the listings across to Etsy.

I've still got lots of work I still need to do, but now that business has taken of again, it's definite motivation to continue on with it!

Christmas Stall

Here are my piccies from the Christmas Fayre - Sorry about the poor quality! Only had my phone with me :-( Think I need to start putting my camera in my handbag all the time again!

The Christmas Fayre!

Eeek! So yesterday was the day of my stall! And it really could not have gone any better! I was so nervous to be selling my stuff, but it all went really well - better than I could have imagined! Thankyou to all those who came along and bought stuff! It really gives me confidence and makes me feel better about the amount of time and money I've spent on my little business! It really encourages me to carry on keep developing!

For all those newbies that have just come along - my old blog... www.thevioletsquirrel.blogspot.com - is still up, but all my new posts will be going on here! There lots of old posts on there if you want to have a nosy at my journey, and how I got to where I am now! 

I shall post piccies of my stall soon, but for now I suppose I best get out of bed and on with my day! Lets make it another productive one! :-)

The New Blog!

Woo! Sooo... I grew a little tired of the old business name violet squirrel and I thought everything needed updating slightly, so welcome to the polka dot button! I hope you like the name! Everythings had a bit of a makeover but I'm not quite done yet so bare with me whilst everything gets sorted :-)

Enjoy!
