Update packaging & listings

About a year ago, one of my customers let me know that the display boxes that I used in my Etsy listings were not available in IKEA anymore. I had used 'em to show off some display ideas for my feelings. Bugger, that meant I had to change all my listings, description & pictures and I put it on the 'to do' list...

Then later this year, my supplier told me that the lime green boxes I use for packaging my feelings, would be taken out of production. So that meant that I needed to think about a new way to package 'em. I bought all the available boxes and hoped they would last me a while...
I'm down to my last 5 boxes now so I quickly need to change my packaging and my listings.

This will be the new packaging from now on. I loved the lime green boxes as they brought a little color to my work but I do like the natural kraftpaper look too.

Earlier this week, lots of editing took place in my Etsy shop: description, tags, price & shipping profiles and pictures. It's been a major job but it was long, long overdue.
Too bad that the mosaic pictures turn out to be so small in the Etsy listing. I have no idea why that is as I saved 'em as before.

It will have to do for now as changing 99 listings is no small feast...

I am a kraftpaperfan ! So love the new look. The pics are little but you can see it's original and packed with a lot of care. So that's the most important.

The kraftpaper with the doily is just gorgeous, Mitsy! I had a long look through your Etsy site yesterday trying to decide which 'feeling' I wanted next and all the photos looked great to me :) Kx

Love the new packaging as well and sure your customers will do. I really feel the pain with you of changing all the listings... we are thinking of changing a lot, too, but untill now, we didn't take time.

Oh man...I don't even want to think about how much work that must have been for you. I recently went through almost all of my old photos and re-edited them. It was also long overdue...but it was a big job. I know you have more listings than I do, so I can't imagine!

Ik vind de natural look super!
Past goed bij je werk,..... eigenlijk vind het mooier dan de lime verpakking....
Ik vind je werk altijd zo mooi puur en daar past een naturel uitstraling heel goed bij.

I just came across your blog today, and I'm absolutely in love with your little ambiguous figurines! My fiance and I also love ceramics, and we were wondering if you ever happen to come to Orlando to do demos or workshops for students?
