Well, after a frantic listing day yesterday, the shop is filling up and beginning to look like a shop.

Just a few more expensive items, to list and then hopefully the customers will come flooding in (!!) Well I can live in hopes!

At least the positive thing is, the weather won't keep the customers away, infact it could encourage more spending !!

Now there's a happy thought

Shop early for Christmas.

Finally made it! I have listed all my rag dolls and they look gorgeous. Although it took more time, I took their photos in the garden. I'm rather worried they are turning ito little friends..........

Must be all the rain we are having, dissolving my brain!!

Back to work only more ralttles and trucks to list. Then I might sell some!!! That's life.

Any comments on my shop would be appreciated.

Now I'm back from my holiday and Magic Dragon Toys is fully open. I'm revising my pictures and trying o make the descritions more exciting. The toys are fabulous and I'm getting more stock. It's all waiting for pictures to be taken.

I thought working from home would be relaxing and stress free. JOKE.................. I'm probably working just as hard but having loads more fun!

Off to France this week. I hope business picks up, the moment I opened the shop the world went on holiday!!. So I'm doing the same. Hopefully back on 2 September for the Christmas Rush..................... and I forgot we've got Halloween first, so better stock up on witches and beasties and all things that go bump in the night!!!!!

Things can only get better!

I can't believe I've just opened my shop and now I'll be closing it for the holidays. It's certainly been a huge learning curve, but I love it. Having just retired from a REALLY stressful job, this is great. I just feel a bit sad sometimes that there is so much negativity about. All jobs have there ups and downs and I guess this is no different.Still, for everyone leaving, new people are coming along. The best part for me is packing the parcels up and sending them on their way.

Something happened this week which really cheered me up. I had over estimated P&P, I contacted the buyer and offered to refund the difference, which was £3.50 and he told me to have a drink on him!!

The next best thing about this job, is I have met so many genuine nice people. So if you are getting down, think about the positives.And, if you are really lucky, you may even make some money ( and there's no-one looking over your shoulder)

Thought for the week

"Make friends with the staff in the post office."

Here ends my ramblings of the day. Must be the weather!
