Toast to Tosca--throwback thursday!!

So I've temporarily abandoned this blog--I started back up with school and I was trying to finish all the cataloging for the shop so I've just been busy busy. Anyway, I had a fun idea for this blog that would be a great way to tribute my shop to the owner of all these clothes!! I have these boards at my house that were made for the lady(Tosca) that passed away who's clothing I'm selling and on these boards are pictures taken of her in specific items that I'm selling. So as a little twist to throwback Thursday I'm going to share some ultra throwbacks! =) Not only will this be fun, but it will also help authenticate a few of the items in my shop as Vintage and give my customers a glimpse at the wonderful woman who took such great care of these pieces they are receiving.

Throwback Thursday #1

To find dress go to: https://www.etsy.com/listing/103546832/early-70s-vintage-one-arm-ruffled-black

What is amazing is that the slip she is wearing with the dress in that picture she kept on the hanger with the dress I have the dress and the slip for sale together as one item. =)

Treasury, The Beatles and a little history

I don't know how many of you are familiar with making treasuries on Etsy, but I know when I first started on Etsy I kept seeing all these treasuries and my question was: How do you make a treasury? I went through and taught myself, but boy it's harder than it looks to make a really good, Front page worthy treasury. I remember my first one I made back in November--it took me probably 2 hours (this was before I thought OH hello-'right click' 'copy link source') Anyways I was pretty proud of myself, but it didn't get a lot of attention right away because I didn't have many followers/wasn't part of any teams etc--then suddenly I started getting all these views and comments and people were saying things like "great fp" and I was like 'What is a FP??' I don't remember how I figured it out, but I went to the home page and WAHLAH- There was my name! So exciting!!I definitely wanted to make more, but the time was not working for me. ...

Promotion and SEO for my Etsy shop

Hello all, Over the past couple months I've been working hard to find new ways to promote my shop. My sales dropped in January and I was concerned so I spent some time researching what I could do to improve. My findings were made up of two things: JOIN TEAMS and research SEO. I cannot express how much joining teams on Etsy has helped my overall experience. Not only have my views, favorites and sales gone up--but I also have a group of people I can go to with questions or who will answer my questions before I even get a chance to ask. I joined 4 teams, however I'm only really active in two, sometimes 3-- Vintage Vertigo and Vintage Explosion are the ones I participate in most. I also joined a local group for the Bay Area, but that's a different crowd that I haven't really meshed with yet. The next thing I came across was a ton of controversy on how to make your items more relevant on Etsy--basically a ton of myths on SEO. I've been using Google Ad Words keyword...
