Going. Going. Sold.

We sold our first (and second) piece of pottery on Etsy today, just about 4 hours ago. We were both so surprised and got really worked up. We then realized that we under priced on shipping and now have to pay half of it out of pocket. It’s not a big deal but we quickly went back through the rest of our Etsy products and changed the shipping on them. Some of them went up quite a bit because we could not fit them into those flat rate boxes, and shipping something as light as 4 pounds through the USPS cost about 36 dollars (we were both amazed at this, we thought it wouldn’t be much more than the flat rate boxes which can hold up to 20 pounds for about 10 dollars). Anyway, I’m headed to the post office first thing in the morning to send the pottery to Tennessee were they will live out the rest of their lives in blissful usefulness (hopefully). We will now have some more money so we can get to posting the rest of the hundreds of pieces of pottery we have in our office (thankfully most of it is on the smaller side so it doesn’t take up a lot of space, if it was the stuff I made for my MFA show we would be living in the garage while our house was stuffed with large spinning pottery).
