On Etsy's Front Page twice in one evening!
I think that a double Front Page in one evening is a record! The first one happened while we were at the Royal Exchange Theatre watching the world premier of an excellent play called Mogadishu and the second (which led to three sales and used my title) while I was fast asleep!

Silly Walks on the Front Page
Another Front Page - hurrah!
We had staggered home from supper out and as I checked my email on our return I saw via Facebook that my trusty Ministry of Silly Walks print was yet again on the Front Page of Etsy. Not only on the FP but it had sold! I think that this is the first occasion where such exposure has directly led to a sale. I also had two messages from people wanting to buy a print, and one of those was for a larger one, as well as the sale of a card of the same image. Not a bad evening's work considering that I wasn't even at home!
Here's the Treasury - and I have no idea what the title means!
I've been playing around with Wordpress after getting the fantastically helpful support team at my hosting company Nexcess to install the software for me as was totally baffled by the whole process. It's proving much more tricky than I had anticipated to do what I want. I really want a good photo gallery set up and I suppose I'll just have to spend many more hours researching and finding out just how to do that. I now need a good new website, I still like mine but I need something much more flexible and functional. It's not going to be so easy to get it though......

Sweeties on the Front Page!
I clicked over to the Front Page of Etsy to see what was going on and I found my Pick and Mix print on there! I love it when that happens!
I've been staring at my screen trying to vamp up my Facebook Fanpage to make a Custom Landing Page (I didn't even know that expression existed before the weekend!). I'd love it if you'd pop over and have a look and let me know what you think....I did it all in Blogger and then copied and pasted it! It's not exactly a graphic work of art, but not a too disgraceful starting point. More Fans desperately needed too! Grovel.

One day, Two Etsy Front Pages, Seven Sales!
It's been a good few days in Etsy land! Someone enquired about an enlarged print and I explained about my A3 and 20x30 inch prints which are sizes I've previously offered and then she asked if I could make a 40x60 inch print which is MASSIVE and the answer was 'yes'. I'll be picking the print up from the lab on Monday or Tuesday and I can't wait to see how my Path Through Moss print will look. I'm now offering this size in my shop - the listing is here should you be interested.
We had a very busy day yesterday making lunch (roast tomato soup with basil oil and olive croutons, salad Nicoise, cheese) which went on till about 5.30, then two sets of friends popped round and we didn't go out as planned as I wasn't in the mood to eat out, so we drank lots of wine, finished off the cheese and sourdough and I russled a few edibles togeterh from the fridge and we chatted and nibbled till midnight.
When in bed I checked my email and discovered that my work had been on two Etsy Front Pages that evening and that I had made six sales to one person - hurrah! I'll be busy making prints on Monday.....
Here are the Front Pages:
Thanks to both clever curators for including my work in their lovely Treasuries!

Back from Yoga in Crete and on the Front Page of Etsy!
I had a great time in Crete, the yoga was excellent as was the weather (after a slightly dodgy start) and the food was outstanding! I really could have done with another week.
I took about 200 photos which I'm sifting through gradually, there should be a few decent ones when I've finished with them.
I checked my Facebook this morning to find that my Love in a Mist print is in a Front Page Treasury, a really pretty one:
We're pottering into town to catch up with chums at lunchtime which will be splendid and then we've got a party in the evening which should be quite an event although at this point in time, I know very little about it - details will be arriving nearer the time; how mysterious!

Today my online life was more exciting than my real life!
No, I'm not sinking into some deep dark depression, I just went to Oldham in the very cold, dull, post fog, pre sleet weather. I had to make it look like Paris. I don't think I did too badly - Lightroom is a wonderful piece of software which has performed magic for me so far, but it was a very cold and not particularly fun assignment.
After my initial forays around the church, my poor little fingers were frozen so I headed to the Art Gallery for a warm up and a toilet to find that there was a nice looking new cafe where I happily settled with a copy of' Om a very cool yoga magazine (a rare British one too) and ordered chunky veg soup and brown bread with a pot of Earl Grey tea with extra hot water. What I got was a cup of Earl Grey tea with a jug of milk and a jug of hot water and no soup. I was happy thawing out and reading about Downward Dogs etc.... but eventually I got fed up and reminded my very nice but inefficient waitress about my soup. She assured me it was coming. It didn't, but it did for the two ladies next to me. They took one slurp and called the waitress over and complained that it was so salty that they couldn't eat it. Great. I waited some more, no doubt while they 'seasoned' it a bit more. Eventually it arrived, and had that depressing smell that home made soup never has. I make a lot of soup, both vegetable and chicken based and it never has that instant soup out of a packet smell which I remember from school. That aside, the unattractive brown gloop tasted sort of okay, but the carrot (yes, nice and chunky) tasted like a spoonful of salt. Back it went. And the bread was a pappy white roll which had been cut in half for me very helpfully through the middle. The tea was very nice.
The manageress offered me an alternative, but I'd wasted enough time and I told her I couldn't wait any longer and she offered me a sandwich to take out, but I very nicely turned that down too. The soup was erased from the blackboard and she apologised and said that they had been using a 'new stock'. What sort of kitchen buys in stock when the soup's meant to be home made and what sort of chef doesn't taste his cooking?
Very disappointed but at least a bit warmer, I pottered off to find something else to photograph. I was very surprised at how little modern stuff there was, perhaps I missed it?
The nice on line stuff came in the form of a Front Page Treasury with my Red on White 2 print.
And the second nice thing was a feature by the new UK Etsy Blogger Amity UK in The Storque in her 'Get the Look' feature about the wonderful flame haired Florence Welch which is full of great items.
Here's a screen grab of the section with my Have a Seat 4 print:
So I'm well chuffed with that!
Tomorrow I'm out and about doing some more real work (two days proper money is a very nice thing indeed!) down in Derby. Not quite sure what to expect, but I hope the sun shines for me on my ninety minute drive.

Love You Scrabble on Etsy's Front Page
I've been selling lots of my Scrabble Valentine's cards from Folksy which has been fantastic, it's a funny little site which I like for it's UK bias but I find it cumbersome to use but shall persevere as I want to support the UK handmade/craft scene in my own little way. (While I've been typing this I got a happy Transaction email for one of my I Love You Scrabble Jumble cards selling on Etsy, which is the first one to go from there.)
Another Scrabble image is on the Front Page of Etsy (bottom right) right now along with a great and unusual collection of items. I love the little note you get on Facebook to tell you you've been Featured, it's so handy. The last two FPs have been bought to my attention this way.
Anyway, got to dash as I need to pop out to find a late post box for the card I've just sold so it arrives tomorrow!

Foxglove and Heart on Front Page!
FEtsy Front Page 5/1/09 jennreese7, originally uploaded by Etsy Front Pagers.
I missed this Front Page at Etsy in real time but knew that something was up when I saw the eleven hearts on Craftcult. Thanks to the eagle eyed at the Etsy Frontpagers Group on Flickr, here's how it looked!
Mine is in the middle of the second row and you can see it in my shop here.

Double Whammy!
I was randomly checking my item hearts/views etc on the splendid craftcult.com and found some interesting activity which led me to look at the front page over at Etsy and I found a beautiful Treasury with Love in a Mist and also my Corks TTV in the Dad's Gift Guide box at the same time!

Front Page!
'Corks' has been knocking around in the Dad's Gift Guide for a while now and therefore appearing fleetingly on the Front Page according to Google Analytics, which is nice, but no way as gratifying as a 'real' FP like this one!
Happyment's got some great colourful goodies in her shop - I've mentioned before that I'm always amazed at the many uses for felt which I see on Etsy and these are no exception. The brooches she makes are pure fun and happy - as the shop name suggests! I love this one:
Black and White Flower Brooch $11
Bamboo Trinket Plates $10

Missed Front Page
I've just spotted on my Etsy Analytics on Google that something from Eyeshoot was on the front page on 11th Feb. It's very nice to know and it's very clever that it can, but I don't now what the item was! It's not showing up in the Etsy Front Pager's group of Flickr which ususally has everything and I don't recall and spike in views/hearts which usually result from a Front Page. Perhaps it was in the middle of the night for the American audience.....Perhaps I'll find out sometime, it's a shame not to know.

Hurrah - A Front Page!
A first time Front Page for my Dandelion Puff Print. No sales yet, but new hearts and views.
Thanks to Kwaraw for uploading it to Flickr.

Inter Alia on the Front Page
Etsy Front Page 9/20/08 shevaun, originally uploaded by Etsy Front Pagers.
I really must check the goings on with my Inter Alia goodies, after finding the lovely Treasury (see previous post), I've just searched the Flickr Front Page Group and found that my battered Penguin book was there in the top left corner. I've sold it and I wonder if it was because of the front page exposure?

Back from away and five Treasuries
I'm back from a hectic weekend in Champagne, we visited four champagne houses, tasted about 35 different Champagnes ate tons and took about 600 pictures. I'll be sifting through those later....
In the meantime, here are five lovely Treasuries I found myself in when I arrived back at my iMac.
