Etsy Shop Launch

It's been a long time coming, but we finally opened our Etsy shop for business today. Erin has been collecting a ton of vintage, retro, mid century goods over the past year and a half with this plan in mind. We have been talking about it for months, consulting friends, doing some research, etc, etc. It's definitely far from being polished and pretty, but we decided to go with what we have and spruce it up along the way. We've only posted a small fraction of what we've collected and have plenty of description writing yet to do. This has been a learning experience for sure trying to understand the ins and outs of Paypal and Etsy.

Crazy thing is within less than 10 minutes of making it public we had our first sale. Talk about motivation! I had just brewed some coffee and then BAM! Sale!...and a good one too. So we were all excited until we realized we now have to ship this rather awkwardly large floor lamp. We'll see how that goes tomorrow as we learn the ins and outs of the UPS and the USPS. The picture above is the lamp we sold today. We are hoping there will be plenty more sales to come and that our first sale is not just a fluke.

Please check out our store here! Tell your friends! Tell your grandmothers, aunts, and cousins...you get the picture:) Let us know if you have any suggestions as we are looking for ways to improve. A shop banner is in the works, and we'll be improving the organization and fine print as well. We will constantly be updating the shop with new items and our latest finds. Thanks for your support!
