Coronavirus 2021

Little did I imagine that almost a year on we would still be in lockdown!

I have not had to altar the way I sell my goods too much since collections were not impacted – but that was before we left the EU and the USA increased their postal charges significantly.

I decided that chancing deliveries to Europe after Brexit was too big a risk so changed to within the UK only last December. I am happy to say that I have had some good sales from the UK but as soon as I think post to Europe is safe I shall offer that on my Etsy shop again.

The USA is another challenge however as they increased the internal charges to imports making delivery far too much on my inexpensive items. Such a shame as I sold many bags to America.

Bye to Folksy

I think I have given Folksy enough time to produce some sales but after all this time the figure is 1. I shall close this shop and concentrate on my Etsy Shop which is going from strength to strength. It’ll be easier for me in the long run but I’m sad that a British selling…

Post Covid

What a terrible couple of years we have endured. Never have I been so grateful to have a lovely hobby to keep me busy and engaged. Thank heavens for Royal Mail also delivering fabric and wool to keep me going. I also had to take Brexit into account when deciding where to sell my items….
