I need to get better about comments!

One of the things I sincerely regret is not being better about commenting. I know that it just makes my day to see new comments on my posts and I think I should do the same for others. Often I find myself viewing a post and having something I want to ask or offer feedback on but I NEVER do!

Same goes for commenting back when people say nice things or ask questions on my blog. I always have the intentions of writing back but by the time I get around to it, it's been three weeks and it's rather too late at that point.

Completely off the subject...

YAY!! I was featured in this blog today!

Little Gray Pixel: Fashion Forward: Spectator Pumps

She featured these shoes and I totally agree with her. Had these narrow shoes fit my fat feet, I'd have kept them for myself.

And now for pictures of my workspace. Ha Ha workspace. I've been altering a few dresses a week. Mainly just hemming them shorter but sometimes taking them in or cutting ugly bits off. It looks so messy. And it is. I'm using a $12 desk I bought from Goodwill as my sewing table and it's the sexiest thing I've ever owned. It's dark wood that has been scratched in beautiful ways with wooden drawers and carved wooden drawer pulls. It makes me happy that I own it every time I see it and it makes a lovely makeshift sewing table. However it does mean that my sewing machine has to sit out in our living room until I tire of this new found hobby.


That's all for today. Except for this creepy EBAY promo I made. Last week's photos turned out TERRIBLY. But they were all I had and my roommate refused to pose for any more photos. She looks so blurry and creepy in these photos. However the clothing is gorgeous this week. Check out our latest EBAY listings and bid on some :)

new EBAY store!!

I wish I could say that I could resolve to post more often and then I would do it. But I keep forgetting and then being too tired to post whenever I remember.

It's been two weeks since my last post. Since my last post I was sick (again), throwing myself a pity party, cleaning my apartment, and preparing for my NEW EBAY STORE!!

My roommate created a new banner for us which you can see on this journal. She simply changed the title of each banner so we can have one for my blogger, one for our etsy, and one for our EBAY.

I think it looks amazing. What do you think?

Starting an EBAY store is harder than it looks. EBAY is harder to figure out (in my opinion) than etsy; but we have heard wonderful things about selling vintage on EBAY and I've been stalking some similar vintage sellers' EBAY stores and some of the things they sell sell for over $100! And I'm talking items nearly identical to what I have to sell. So we gave it a shot.

It took many hours of photoshop and many many hours of altering and hemming dresses and many more hours of photographing them.

My dad helped me design a "set" which consists of a Ralph Lauren sheet from TJ Maxx and two 1"by2"s and three of those spotlights with super special light bulbs. This set did not come complete with a better camera however and most of my pictures turned out blurry. I will try a tripod next time but no promises.

Many hours later and the agreement that if my roommate would play model, I would play photographer, editor and list all the items on EBAY, later and we have launched our new site!

Please go and check it out and give us some feedback. Any tips on how to improve or on how to better make use of EBAY is totally rad. Please add us to your favorite stores and feel free to bid on our listings as well!

We're still keeping our etsy. We'll make listings inactive while they are listed on EBAY and keep the shoes, men's vintage, accessories and vintage home decor on etsy for now. It's already proving a pain to promote both stores and I'm afraid that my promoting for etsy is slacking...but still excited about trying out EBAY!

If you click on the picture at the top of this post it will take you straight to our EBAY :)

Here are some pictures of my personal favorites that we have listed for auction this week!
