Launch!!

Kate just gave me a great idea, in fact it was Leonie who planted the seed. You see I am about to launch my new shop, over here at bigcartel. I wanted to have my own shop where I am  not in competion directly with anyone else. Just me, out on  my own. Makes me feel more independent. No rules, no relisting fees, no signing up to websites....

What I wanted to ask of you, my lovely bloggy friends, is to have a look and give me a critique of it SO FAR, that is the easy bit... but then there is this ... you see I have this doggy, like the mummy and daddy dogs I made Busy for her birthday... and he is made from the most divine pink and orange fabric but the stitching is a little wonky in one place but apart from that he is great ... so what I was thinking of is selling him on my new big cartel shop as a sample and - this is where the idea from Kate and Leonie came from- I will give 100% of his asking price to Care Australia. This way you are helping me out by allowing me to go through the big cartel selling something experience- and donating to charity- plus you get a dog!!! Free Postage too!

This is him:
Get him quick- hopefully he sells really quick!
and the hugest thankyou in the world to Leonie for helping me set up my big cartel shop here is a link to Leonies shop.
and PLEASE spread the word!!!

  1. Lovely idea. Always do the 'each product is handmade & unique, any slight imperfection would be noted & a small discount applied' & trust me, they'll still sell as what did your baby do to some toys?? Right, so say it up front, knock 10% off the price & it will sell. On this orange puppy, fabulous idea to sell him as imperfect & proceeds go to charity, all very anit plastic & mainstream. Love Posie

  7. Oh yeah, great idea! I'm positive he'll sell really quickly. Big Cartel has been on the top of my 'where to sell online' list. I hope it is really successful for you. X
