2013 was a good year for me. and for skippy haha vintage! i really enjoy selling on etsy, it is user friendly and the seller fees are reasonable. everything continues to move in the right direction as time goes by - more views, favorites, and sales.
a few major highlights of the last year:
i opened a skippy haha vintage t-shirt shop on defunkd.com vintage t-shirt collective. dozens of sellers post hundreds of authentic vintage t-shirts all in one convenient location. jimmy j does a fantastic job of keeping the site fresh and functional. there's a funny, informative blog and an interactive forum - lovers of true vintage t-shirts can get lost for hours on this site.
in 2013 i taught myself to sew. more accurately, i reacquainted myself with the sewing
i learned in mrs mcdonald's 7th grade home ec class. though that was
sewing with a machine, and now i've been sewing like betsy ross. seams.
buttons. burnholes. a 2 foot dog nail rip in a duvet cover. it has opened up a whole new world of vintage for me! instead of passing on things, or reducing prices for missing buttons, i repair them and sell for full price. win-win!
last but not least, i mentored a sweet, funny, kind woman in etsy selling.
she went from being a young mother/goodwill junkie/semi-hoarder to a professional 20+
etsy seller in a couple short months. after hundreds of emails and text messages back and forth about shipping and keywords and photos and customer service, check her out: robin egg surprise - i am totally
proud of helping allison get her wings!i hope everybody is off to a great start in 2014 - can't wait to see what treasures the next 12 months bring!

I learned from the best!!!!!
i don't know about best, but i may be one of the most enthusiastic etsy sellers out there! sell it if you got it! i should clarify the 'semi-hoarder' label applies only to happy apples. which is the most adorable item to hoard ever!
