’cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good!
13 humble sales at my Etsy shop! :) I’m meeting a fellow MISSISSAUGA Etsian this weekend to hand deliver our bartered items plus grab coffee and a snack and get down to some Etsy talk – I’m so excited! I’m so addicted. I’m not even profiting right now – just having too much fun and feeling warm and fuzzy knowing that I’ve put my work out there and there are… beloved patrons.

…but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field.” –Queen Elizabeth I

I’ve been wanting a shot of one of these gorgeous birds for a long time, but they’ve been too fast for me every time I tried to catch them still for one second. At last, a lucky moment yesterday. This is available as an 8 x 8 print at my Etsy Shop :).

The Coliseum in Rome, Italy, in a 5 x 5 print, available at my Etsy Shop. :)
I had an incredibly productive day at work and after work. I finally have a second to breathe but I feel fantastic with all that I’ve packed into my day. I’m flying out to Edmonton tomorrow morning on business and will be back on Friday. I’m lugging my personal laptop with me along with my work laptop because I can’t be apart from my computer for too, too long right now – I’m too addicted to ramping up my Etsy Shop. Plus, I have a sea of new photos to process. In exchange for bringing my personal laptop with me, I’m leaving my big camera behind and settling for my point and shoot. I think that’s a fair trade. Two laptops in a carry-on luggage… sounds okay.

My second big trip to Europe could not come at a better time. I’m hitting an all time high with my photography and my heart is going to explode this summer. I’m so hyped, so excited, so giddy over it. Photos make me so happy, you have no idea. My life would be completely different if I hadn’t discovered my love for it. My blog and my shop are eating up all my after-work time and I’ll gladly be eaten up by both.
This was in Florence, Italy, available in a 5 x 5 print on my Etsy Shop. :) A lot of my travel photos will soon be available in 5 x 5 prints. I changed my shop banner, too. It’s much cuter now. Oh, and I’m offering a promotion: buy an 8×10 print and receive a free digital download.

I’m up at all hours of the night working on my Etsy Shop. This blog has almost taken the back seat this past week. It’s really like running a real business because if you don’t give the shop the time it needs, it’s going to rot and you’ll never make your 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th sale. If your listings get old for example, and no longer appears at the top of search results, then that’s it. People will never even see your items, let alone purchase them. So, you have to constantly maintain, relist, and renew, but there needs to be a strategy or else you’ll just erode your profits. I have this sudden burden to do my due diligence with this shop and see where it goes. I’m reading up on tips and tricks for more exposure and sales. I wonder if it’ll break through one day.
My photos in the next couple of months are going to take on a different direction – they’re going to be photos that I can sell on my shop. So it’ll be less people shots; more objects and things and places.
