We want to make room for new inventory and pass the savings on to you.

Plus, it helps our shop with the Etsy algorithm known as artificial intelligence.  Your sharing of our shop link on your social media and via email is the only word of mouth advertising that we do.  We just can't afford any other way to promote our shop.

So, we want to give a BIG Thank You! to all of our loyal fans who are regularly sharing our shop with others.

In these critical times we live in it is getting harder to make a living.  My husband's remodeling business has taken a huge hit. We are getting small jobs here and there.  But, we are taking the social distancing very seriously.

We don't want to put our health or the health of others at risk.
Since, anyone can have the COV-19 and not even know that they are a carrier of the virus.  It makes working in someones home that much more difficult and dangerous.

We have filed for every form of assistance available to no avail.
We either can't complete the sign-up process due to the website crashing.  Or, we get rejected for some unknown technical reason with very vague information.

Our savings is dwindling month to month.  We know this is not only us.  So our heart goes out to others who are in the same boat as we at this time.

We are also applying to every online company but find that we don't qualify for one reason or another.  The claims make it sound like it's so easy to get a job online.  That is just not true.

Our only comfort is our faith in the hope found in the Bible.  Some may not believe it will come true. That is there choice.
But, we sure believe it will happen and in our lifetime.  We are sharing this hope with anyone who cares to listen and wants a better life for themselves and their loved ones too.

Be Safe!  Stay Positive!  Do something for someone else in need.

Sending You Sunshine,

Marsha

First Time Shopping On Etsy - how to navigate your account and make a pu...

       Hello! I'm going to help you make your first purchase on Etsy by showing you how to navigate the platform.  Did you know that Etsy is a marketplace of millions of different shops from around the world?

Who knew! Right!

We are going to use this cute Hope praying bear made by Ty Beanie Babies that is in our vintage shop, Pioneer Fundraiser.  There are four (4) available by the way and two people have them in their cart.  I don't know about you but I just adore this cute little plush toys.  I got hooked on them when my daughter was four years old back in 1994.


Watch my video and I'll share our story further about our collection and how it grew over time...

Now on to making your first purchase on Etsy.  Or, just helping you to understand how to update and edit things in your shopper account.



I have found that most of my customer's are making their very first purchase when they find my shop in searching on Google.  A lot of times the shipping address can not be verified by the USPS. This starts a whole conversation between me and the customer to get the right address before I can ship it to them.



If you want to buy an item as a gift and have it shipped directly to the person we can do that too at no extra charge to you.  This video will show you how to do that too.  It's all very easy to do once you have someone show you how to do these things.



I want to take all the frustration out of shopping on Etsy so that you can have a fun and great experience with us.  Hopefully, you'll come to our shops and find something amazing and awesome blossom for you or a friend.



So, without further delay let's watch the video and make your first purchase together.



Thanks so much for your support to my YouTube channel and to our Etsy shop.

Please Subscribe and give this video a thumbs up!



Have a Sunshine Day!

Craft Room Makeover On A Budget - Part 2

Welcome to my #2019organizingchallenge series.  Each month I am organizing and redecorating every room in my house.  For March it was my craft room.  Here are the after photos.  Enjoy!

The wall color was a green and orange.  It was very faded looking.  Now we have a beautiful soft sea green farmhouse color on the walls that makes all the new farmhouse decor really stand out.

The furniture is white and has plenty of storage as you can see in the photo.
This holds all my embellishments such as ribbon, washi tape, brads and more.

The window treatment is a vintage curtain and valance found on one of my garage sale ventures.

These storage organizer bags are right behind the door so it didn't take up valuable wall space.
They hold all of my wallets and envelopes I sell in my Etsy shop, Markets of Sunshine. <<<click

This adorable farmhouse shelf is right over my shipping area.  It keeps all my tools in reach.

Cute wood handmade shelves were added along with a vintage sewing machine for plenty of storage right over my sewing table.

This is my sewing supply corner.  The wire racks hold my fabrics and have chalkboard labels on each shelf.  The cube table in the middle has four spots for baskets and lots of storage possibilities.  The shelf above has three compartments for more storage.  The organizer on the left was perfect for my paper storage.

I am so happy with how this craft room makeover turned out.  What do you think?  I'll be putting together a step-by-step tutorial for you with all the products I used and how we accomplished this in just 30 days.

Stay tuned for my Entryway makeover reveal coming up next...

Week 32: New Fall Products and Seasonal Favorites

New!  Metallic Seasons Collection!!

The end of Summer is only a month away.  Yippie!  I know everyone is happy about that fact.  But, did you hear the news?  We have a brand new product line that we rolled out over the weekend in our Etsy shop, Markets of Sunshine just for your Fall celebrations with family and friends.

It's all about metallic this season.  Copper, gold and silver are center stage in this new collection of wallets and envelopes.  Don't let go of your budget while planning all those special events.  Keep a tight hold on your spending and use one of our cash envelope system wallets and envelopes to plan out how much you will budget on each occasion.  That way when the new year rolls around you can still be of good cheer and not feeling down in the dumps because of those extra high credit card balances staring you in the face.

Decide now how much you will set aside for each occasion.  Save up the cash in one of our new flashy wallets and then you'll be singing your favorite tunes with a smile on your face all year long.  Now doesn't that make more sense than crying all the way to the bank!

Discover a gift or two for a friend or family member while you are picking out your jazzy new wallet.  We even add in a bill tracker or budget sheet for you to keep track of your savings and spending every step of the way.  Now that's a real deal!
