etsy team mexico!

turns out there is a group of etsy sellers, all based in mexico, trying to share ideas and meet occasionally.
i went to a meeting in cuernavaca last week, and it was really lovely to meet other etsy sellers, see what they make and share tips (especially on postage!).  we want to market ourselves more widely, and show what a wonderful range of things is being made and sold from people based in mexico.

do check out the site, and have a look at other individual sellers in our team:  http://www.etsy.com/teams/7321/etsy-team-mexico

new year update!

new year, new ambitions.  tallying up at the end of last year - approx. 120 cards and 80 gift tags sold between september and december 2010. not bad!

now back to trying to sell more via the shop on www.etsy.com (see www.etsy.com/shop/lorisandb)
hearts cards now listed for sale, paper bunting to follow.  but first - working on a more professional looking 'shop'! first stop - the banner:

check it out 'etsy' size on the loris & b etsy shop page (link above).

wedding project II - guest book


first non-card related project!  a loris & b style wedding guest book cover - made of silk dupion, decorated with mini-fabric bunting, and names/date details on edged card.

possibly another one for etsy.com in the new year....

           

                                     

wedding project I - cards 


new cards, created for a good friend's beautiful winter wedding.

one thought is to sell these designs on etsy.com in the new year, as valentines cards - but there is no specific target market for these yet (nor are they on sale anywhere):

 

tis the season!

at last! some photos of christmas cards - on sale at gabinete, conejo blanco (condesa) & conejo blanco (san angel):

                                                        

 

christmas update coming soon - promise!

apologies - bit behind on the blog.  fortunately this is mostly due to time spent making christmas cards and on an exciting small wedding-related project.  photo updates in the next day or so, honest!

now online at etsy.com!


further to the previous post, there's now a (very small) loris & b shop on etsy.com, selling a small selection of cards in packs of 3, and gift tags in packs of 5.
