Beee-u-teee-ful. Now your girl has Qs. Can you talk to us about your customers? Are you doing these pieces custom for someone, or using your whim and creativity and then selling them on Marketplace? Do you have a space at a vintage market? Let us know where you're deploying these lovelies. And if I can really be nosy, I'd like to know about your profits from a piece like this. But you can keep your secrets and I'll still love you and your channel. :-)
@elegantupgrades3 жыл бұрын
I REALLY hate custom work. If I do a custom piece it’s with the understanding that the client has almost no say in what happens to it 😂. It’s too stressful for me otherwise. So most of my pieces are just me having fun with things that I like. I started selling on marketplace, but if I’m being honest, am not a huge fan of it anymore. My area is amazing in that I get most of my items for free or next to nothing, but with that comes the downside of having to sell things for less as well. I don’t sell out of a store at all, even my favorite furniture store here sells their items for less than I do in marketplace and those people have to keep their booths full and pay a booth rent. I’ve been really enjoying Etsy at the moment, but I think eventually I’d prefer just creating my own website and selling from there. I do want to do a video about all this in the future- you’re not the only one who has expressed interest, but I want to make sure I’m giving the most information I can and I don’t think I’m there yet.
