Reaching a Milestone Number 5,000

Salvagenation reached 5,000 sales today and I was so busy running to the post office and cleaning out the refrigerator that I didn't even know it !  Yipee.  It's been so much fun and I've met so many wonderful people through this online venue.   Here is the first thing I ever sold on Etsy , a wonderful head vase complete with tag.

Every time I talk about my Etsy experience and success, I have to give major credit to my mentor.

Mu-Yin Jewelry or as I like to call her Mu-Yin Mollie . 

I had been on ebay off and on for years and gave it up after the girls graduated from college.  We had moved to the farm and I thought I was going to be out of the business forever.  The junk bug bit me and I had to dive back in but I didn't want to sell on Ebay, anymore.   Mollie had an article she had written on her blog about Etsy vs Ebay.  When I did an internet search for that exact phrase, up popped her article.  I read it and it was so well written and concise that I felt I knew her.  I even sent an email and asked her a few questions and she quickly replied.  I followed her advice to the letter and as they say, the rest is history. 

There was even a blog article I wrote for not only here but several other websites that incorporate no only her advice, but what I've learned along the way. 

My Etsy Success Story 

What was item number 5,000 :  Some really cool engineer's books from the 30's. 

Plenty of excitement with the holidays and all the great shopping to do and cookies to eat.
