Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to see you here, and hope you enjoy your visit:)
Well now, just came from etsy forums again. Looks like it started with the Forums, but I thought it was suppose to be mid February that they started with the forums? Anyway, a lot of the forums are being locked. You can view what was said, look for an old post, but no more comments can be made.
So, that then brings up the issues of the Teams that are replacing the forums. First of all, you have to join Teams. You have to apply for them, and be approved for them before you can participate with them. If you have pictures that are not good, or acceptable, a Team Captain can deny you joining the Team. Then, if you go forward, correct what was not acceptable before trying to join a Team, you will then have to contact the Captain to ask them for reapplying. Also, if the Team requests for the Captain to accept the member is another way to gain access I guess.
Wow! Was much simplier when you could go to the forums, and look for the issue you were needing help with. A place where you could openly share, and promote your stores, and if you had a glitch or a bug, you could inquire right away about it. But, now if you have any issues you cannot just openly ask about it. You will have to go through the process of joining a team. But, if you are denied a membership to a Team....where do you go then to have your questions answered? Are they going to start a Team for Bugs and Glitches? If so, what if you were denied a membership to that? Then what?
Sorry, but this sounds very complicating, and very unethical too. This is not a very professional business way to handle a large group of people who make the selling venue what it is. Sorry, but this is really upsetting to hear this, and I am trying to understand it as many other members of Etsy are also trying to adapt, and having problems with it.
So, what do you think? Do you think the Forums being removed was a good thing? Do you feel that having Teams for the forums was the right move? How comfortable are you with selling at Etsy with all the changes happening? Please, feel free to respond to these things everyone. Have to have some where to vent a bit:)
Tomorrow Super Bowl Sunday! Hope ya'll have a great day with family, friends, or watching yourself. Enjoy the day, best of luck to all, and Be Safe!
Just listed this last night at Artfire. 3 separate glass pieces found at different times, and different places were put together to make this adorable candy dish compote. I added the iridescent pink bow for a more feminine touch. Many uses without the lid on it too.
This item is already listed in my store. But, yesterday I went through the store changing wording, titles, etc. When I got to this piece I redid the pictures, and added this angel to the piece too. She is not permanently added to the plate, but will be included with the sale. She just blends with all the colors, don't you think?
Trying not to write one of my lengthy blogs today. But, when you get a chance, it's the weekend, you're home, stop by to visit my PassnItOn Artfire Shop to see what I have listed so far. Working on more pieces....if I could just decide this glass piece with this? This glass piece with that? A 2nd layer of glass and plate? So on, and so on:)
Have a super Weekend everyone, and best of luck to you with all you do. Till the next time.....toodles:)
Good Evening everyone, and Welcome to My Blog PassnItOn!:) Glad to see you here, and happy you stopped by to visit & browse.
Artfire has been under maintenance most of the day with some upgrades done last night, and of course today getting things back into order from all of it too. So, kind of was on hold for a bit doing anything. I did get some pictures taken of a couple of more things I plan on adding to my store that I have completed. So, keep a look out for that too. Also, I did get a chance to change my avatar, and banner in my Artfire store. Check it out, and leave me a comment if you like it better than this banner here on my blog because I am thinking of changing it here too. Nothing fancy, simple, but I sooo love my pastel colors too!:)
Notice on the right side bar I have also added my rapid cart from Artfire. Helps me just in case I forget to add the pictures here for ya'll to see the work being added to my store.
I have some more loose pieces sitting here I have washed, and cleaned, and thinking about. I have some ideas for some more items I know I have stored in my spare room for when I feel like being creative, and venture off to do a few different things than the pedestal stands that I have been doing.
I know with some of the craft shows, and with flea markets the pieces I offer now are like some of them that are also offered with these places for people to see, and purchase. I think they are really neat, and there are soo many possibilities of things that can be done with them too. Giving New Life to Treasures is fun, and I enjoy spending my time working with the items, and putting them together, and thinking of things to do. Hey! It's better than sitting around twiddling my thumbs coming up with ideas of things to occupy my time with, better than thinking about bills, and much better than looking out the window at all this snow & not being able to get anywhere again. At least for tonight...NO travel being advised.
Here is to wishing everyone a super great weekend! Thanks again for visiting with me, and stop to see my store when you can too. Never know, you might find something you like that would be great for your home decor, or given as a gift too:) Take care everyone.
Hello everyone, and Welcome to PassnItOn! Glad to see you here, and thanks so much for stopping by:)
I am just stopping by here myself to show a few pictures to some items I listed with my PassnItOn Store at Artfire. I am enjoying the repurposing, and upcycling of some of the pedestal stands I have been doing. I hope others can also enjoy the Giving of New Life to Treasures being offered, and adore them as I also do.
Well, when you get a chance, stop by
to visit my store, and have a look at some of the yummies shown there.
See those green apples? Those are candles. In fact, I think they are suppose to be floating candles that I have added with this plate as the colors, and everything just came together to make this what it is.
This pedestal stand was fun! This mauve colored dish is something I had sitting for show for a very long time in my home, have attached it to a glass holder, added a simple bow underneath, and have included this white angel with pink flowers. She had a broken hand, but it has been repaired, and she looks good standing in this dish, don't you think?:)
Well everyone, again, thanks so much for visiting me here, and make sure to stop by my store too. Take care, and have a super weekend. Enjoy it, and be safe all!:)

See my Artfire Store for more pictures, and for more details of these adorable pieces:)
WOW! Christmas is next weekend already! We work sooo hard for everything prior to that, spend much time for preparations, and then all of a sudden just like that...it's here!:)
Stop by to visit my store for repurposed, upcycled, and reconstructed pieces by me with PassnItOn at artfire. Have a super weekend everyone, and hope to see you in my store!:) Take care:)
Hello again, just me:) Wanted to come back in here, and leave pictures of some of the items I have added to my artfire store within this past week. I am having fun, have had some good compliments, one person told me she sees this kind of thing with some of her crafts shows she attends, and how popular these are becoming too.
Stop by my store at Artfire to see what is there, and watch for what is yet to come too. I have some things being worked on, completed, and ready to list too.
Thanks for visiting with me, and hope to see you over at my store. Take care, and again have a super week everyone!:)
Hello everyone visiting, and passing through!:) Hope everyone has had a great weekend! Snow here, and it is melting right away too...UGH! Sorry, but just not ready for the snow yet either.
I just left the forums at artfire, and was reading more, and taking notes on the good & the bad of listings with the upcycled reconstructed treasures of vintage, and what to use for wording things, why it is not longer vintage but descriptions should still show vintage pieces used, and etc. Was very interesting reading, and enjoyed learning from it too. Helps me better understand things when I start listing my work done.
Pictured here is a piece I have completed, and am going to leave as is. My daughter felt it looked store boughten as is, so no lace, buttons, pearl strands, bows, anything with this.
It is a pure milk white fire king saucer, with no cup, and was found like this by itself. No other pieces with it, just the 1 saucer. At the same time on another side of the store I found the milk white candle holder that is glued to this saucer making a stand used for various items of personal use. Both pieces have no chips, scratches, very clean, very white, and very shiny too. I am happy with it, and am gearing up to start listing what bit I do have to offer at ArtFire, and hopefully get more done as I am listing too:)
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, and thanks again for visiting with me. I appreciate it, and hope to see you drop by again. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)
