While I was at church this morning, another one of my prints sold in my Etsy shop. (Woo-Hoo!)
For those not “in the know”, this is what my real Etsy shop actually looks like! A large paper bag with handles, full of plastic-sleeved pre-matted prints, originals, sets of note cards, padded mailers, and the binder where I record inventory, expenses, and sales. Not so exciting, is it?
My Etsy shop online can be found here.
I read your sermon notes and I agree. I wish more churches would think about this.A sister believer,Jean Bernick.
ReplyDeleteOur pastor says this has been on his mind for a while. It’s time we all get serious about our commitment to the Lord and stop seeking to be entertained in our church services.
DeleteThanks for commenting, Jean. Blessings to you!
I like your sermon notes as well. This needs to be preached in more churches today as there is far too much compromise. As far as your “REAL” Etsy shop, “Don’t despise these small beginnings.” Zech. 4:10 😉. Congratulations on another sale my friend!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Churches that seem focused on entertainment (for kids or adults alike) just to get people to come seem to be missing something vital. Like we don’t think the Holy Spirit is enough to change people’s hearts?
DeleteThanks for the encouragement re: the Etsy sales! Yesterday I was talking to the Lord, wondering if this is really something He was wanting me to do. I told Him I could really use a sign here — and I got another sale! Guess I’m still on the right path.
My ETSY store is a small book shelf full of boxes of greeting cards and a stack on "drawn in" books. I love your bag full ! Isn't it exciting to open your email and see a sale ! Actually I am excited when I look at my ETSY statistics and someone has actually looked at my store . I love the character and details in your paintings. Of course, the books are my favourite ! May you have many sales !
ReplyDeleteWith my love of books and reading, my bookshelves have no spare space in this wee cabin we live in, but that seems much nicer than a paper bag in the closet!
DeleteYou’re right, just seeing that someone has looked at our shops and maybe favorited an item is exciting. I’ve only had 2 sales, but I’ve gathered lots of photos of this year’s wildflowers for new sketches I might offer.
Blessings to you and many sales!
