April photo dump ☀️✈️🏖️🌅🍦🚀🌸
Family holiday memories, prepping for a sunny market day (🤞for more of these), a brilliant time at Phoenix fest in Oxford with the kids, and some other bits of colour that made me smile this month.
It’s been a quiet and quite difficult month for my small business if I’m honest. I knew things would dip because of the holiday, but it doesn’t make it any easier when it happens. I wish the Etsy algorithm didn’t “punish” you so much for using Holiday mode. But I could do a whole separate post on the struggles with Etsy at the moment 🙄
But I’m not going to panic & I’m actually feeling really excited about the next few months. One of the positives of slower sales is having the time & headspace to actually create. So I’m going to keep doing that & showing you what I’m creating and I’m sure that will help sales improve. I’m adding new products to Etsy, making lots of pieces for a busy summer market season & starting May feeling hopeful and determined ✨
Tell me your favourite thing from April. I’ll go first ⬇️
Spending time on holiday with my husband, our boys & my parents - precious memories made 😊
