My new hobby

My new hobby has turned into too many bows at my house. I have decided to to try to sell my bows and flowers for a fairly inexpensive price. Feel free to take a look at my designs.
I have also made some accessory frames to hold the bows and flowers and other clips. If there is anything that you think I am missing, let me know, I would love any input.

Sooo... does family get a discount? ;P or maybe if I can wing it... trades for massage? There is a girl in our ward who is having a girl in a few months, so I may be getting some of those pretty soon. Oh, and maybe change the name of your moosic to LISTEN WHILE YOU BROWSE. sounds cooler to me, but it's your party.

oh- if you want, you can use ebay as well, just post a few of your things, but add a link in your description to the blog, so you're not spending so much to just post on ebay, just a little and they can go to your blog for more! Ask Jon if you can set up a paypal thing on blogspot... I'll look...

Are you selling them on etsy? My friend sells binky clips on ebay & etsy and then has a link to a blog that she has set up just for the clips, so people can contact her outside of those 2 and order what they'd like...
I should have you make some for Emma & Zoey because they're so darn cute and I know they'd love a big flower in their hair. How much do you charge for flowers? What colors can you make them in?

I started out making these because my neighbor was pregnant and I wanted to make something different for her and I think I was extremely excited for her. After her shower, I just continued making them in my spare time... I got hooked.

I am sure family can get a discount, I am selling them almost at cost because I want to see how well they sell. I want to set them up on Esty but when I was signing up, I saw that they charged a fee everytime you sold something, isn't it the same with Ebay?

The flowers come in hot pink, baby pink, purple, baby blue, lime green, yellow, and white.

Kristi, feel free to bring the girls over next time and they can pick out a bow.

CRAIGSLIST is totally free and super easy. You just click on the left side of the page where it says "post to classifieds" and they walk you thru the rest. I sell everything I want on Craigslist. We've made about $600 just this summer on random stuff.
Just make sure that when you do it, you give us the link so we can go buy from there!! You DEFINITELY will sell all that you have and Im not sure if all you have will be to Kirsten , Chiska, Janell and I!

Ebay does cost when you sell stuff, that's why I said post a few on there, but have a link to your blog where they can buy them instead. Up to you. Craigslist is a good option too.

I did post on Ksl and Craigslist. I have gotten 2 people interested from Craigslist but n8 says that they cannot come to our home, he is weird about it ever since that story about the Craigslist thing where a guy murdered the family. N8 wants me to meet people in a busy parking lot if they want to view the bows.

I have a few bows around the house...could I trade for a massage, too?? :)

Are you coming to the bday party on Saturday? If you are, why don't you bring up a few flowers...like bright pink, baby pink and lime green and I'll buy them from you.

I agree with your sister...just post a few on etsy, and then link it to a blog where they can view & buy more and you'll not have to pay the fee's... here's my friends blog and you can see how she links it to her etsy account and vice versa http://binkybuddy.blogspot.com/http://binkybuddy.blogspot.com/

http://binkybuddy.blogspot.com I'm not sure why that happened...

would you bring a few of the clips, too? like greenish & pink ones (you know what colors we like)

Just from the looks of the comments- you have a great selling base already!!
As for whatever site you use- people don't need to come to see you in any circumstance. Take pics of the bows in a kids hair, where her face isn't showing. If they like what they see, you include a fee for shipping and everything is done in the mail :)
Good luck sista!! You rock!
Whatever you do, tell us first so we all know where to go to buy them !

If I ever have a girl, I'm coming to you first! These are way cute!

To the teuschers, my husband would most likely give a massage, just not for bows, he got a lil mad at me for joking about it. But, he does give great massages, and will soon be getting licensed, and he goes to where you are to give the massage- yes, Becca, he'd even come to you if you'd fly him up there! ;) He charges a lil extra to go outside of the salt lake area.
