ETSY MADE ME DO IT!

I've been thinking about opening an Etsy shop for quite a while now (probably at least a year and maybe even longer).  But there was always something else to do (life's been very busy) and so it just didn't happen.

And then, a few weeks ago, Etsy sent me (and probably a million others) an email suggesting I open a store.  They even offered free listing for the first 20 items if the store was opened within two weeks.  Well, there's nothing like a deadline and a free offer to get me going.  So I have finally opened my Etsy store.

"Doll Heaven" sells doll clothes.  At the moment, I have mostly listed American Girl/Journey Girl doll clothes because that was what I had ready.   The pictures below are just a selection:






I have a few Monster High and Barbie outfits as well.




I haven't made it to 20 outfits yet but at least I've started and I will add more as I make them.  I also plan on adding clothes for other dolls like Ken and my Tonner girls.  So thank you Etsy, I hope others took advantage of your offer too.

    1. Thanks Vanessa. I added your store to my circle - though I'm not really sure of the difference yet.

    2. As a Favorite, you get to see new stuff I list. In my circle you get to see all the stuff the people in my circle favorites. Circles are great now that they formatted it more like Pinterest. You will get a lot more visibility to your store as people favorite you and as you get added to more circles.

  2. I like the dress you have on Draculaura. It suits her, but I could see it on other dolls.

    Best wishes. I will favorite your store next time I am on Etsy.

    I am not buying yet, but I want to send as much good will your way as possible.

  3. Thank D7ana, I got your comment and the Etsy email to say you favourited my store at the same time and I am honoured. As far as the shop goes, I am going to have fun with it as Vanessa said and I always have these ideas for doll clothes (and have an yet another excuse for saving more fabric). Sales will be a bonus. If people want to buy from me because they like what I make and they are looking to buy, that's great but I don't want anyone to feel any pressure about it.

  6. Hi,Marta. Thanks for your comment and good wishes. I'm focussing on fashion and good fit so I guess it will take a while before I have a lot of clothes for sale but I am having fun.
