Today I feel shame and upset as a Hong Kong people.
Some Hong Kong people open shops on Etsy and selling product which don't look like handmade. They are in the Clothing and Bags Categories which I don't visit often.
I read the post in forum.
The thread is closed by admin but I would like to post the link here.
http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5785261
Beside product, I feel their shop is not honest!
They have some sales but looks like they buy those product by themselves.
( It is quite simple! Just open another account and purchases)
Their feedback is all positive but all blank.
As a seller I don't feel and think they are real sale and feedback!
I'm not happy about that.
I know many seller on Etsy are working very hard for their "first sale".
I feel so upset and write my feelings in my Chinese Blog (something similar to what I write here).
I'm not sure if I want them to read it or not.
If they read it that means they come to Etsy because of me. (Oh No! I don't want it!)
If they haven't read it! They don't know what they are doing is not good!
Make me and many seller feel upset and angry.
As a Hong Kong people and a designer.
I'm not really sure their product is handmade or not.
If they are really a fashion or bag designer.
I think they should made their banner and photo a lot better. Look like a designer did!
I Love Etsy!
I don't want people to "destroy" Etsy and make it like yahoo shopping or eBay.

Made some noise
This morning after walking with geelee
, I check my e-mail & Etsy as usual.
I have a sudden idea about promoting and post a topic on forum under "IDEA".
Title is: Send message to ppl who heart you.
Usually the topic which I post have little response.
But this topic is on the top five for about 12 hours!
Got 8 pages now and is still going on.
(That means people in US posting last night and keep posting when they wake up
)
I'll sleep later and don't know if it will keeping on after I wake up.
I want to collect a mailing list.
I like to send e-mail message to my lovely customer
when I offer a sale or free shipping in my shop.
Actually, I've make once before on QBiLL
and my brother birthday 16 August 2008.
I offer free shipping that day but I think not many people know that.
So, if you want to be in my mailing list.
Please leave me comment or e-mail (pinkpandamary@gmail.com) to be added to my mailing list. Thanks!
I haven't go out today. Stay home and pack my product.
I finally made a birth certificate sticker for my animals.
This box of animals is for consignment.

Is it too CRAZY?
Last night, I have given names to my product on :ZOO@Etsy like MAORI, GABBLE, MUSHY...
It is hard for me to given them names in English.
I just have some idea and search it on dictionary.
I have lots of my product don't have name yet!
Today I'm very tired.
I go to buy materials. Walk for few hours in hot sunny day.
I've bought many things like fabric, accessories, cord...
and pick up the tiny little sewing machine which order online.
I don't want to do anything after that.
I just sit in front of the computer and view Etsy Packaging on
flickr which someone post on forum.
I'm excited! All the packs are so pretty!
Especially the recycle packing of allisonstrinedesigns
I really like her style.
Actually my "Crazy" serious is running the similar feelings.

Why my product special?
Dear my customer,
Don't you know? The product you have bought or will buy is very special.
My product has a number, like this
This is like numbers on art and print.
The above is the 7th product I've made.
Number for me like "prisoners" or "police" (in Hong Kong)!
I'm thinking to give my product names.
The doggies and some other product will have their own name and birth certificate.
For my lovely customer who have purchases.
I will send you a digital file for print later.
You can help to name the doggies as you wish too.
(Please leave me comment or "Convos" )
Check my Blog often for the update!

I hope someday...
I hope some day I can own a little shop which has a display window.
Now I have an online shop. It is so great.
Hong Kong market is small especially for what I'm doing right now.
There are so many thing to buy and sell everywhere.
People are always busy including me.
It is hard to sit down and relax.
When I am making my design and stuff, I feel relax. (mmm..... not include promoting! :P )
I think pinkpandamary:ZOO@Etsy can help me keep making my own design and handmade.
Although some day I have to get back to reality to work! work! work!
I start to do handmade because of moving home.
I have so many materials but I never had time to play with them.
I have no space (physically & spiritually) to create .
I take this "Long Vacation" to start building the base of my handmade shop.
Hope I can continue to make my dream come true.
What I love handmade is even if I made the same thing every time and it is not the same.
Like the first two Boston Terrier I've made. They are so different!
This group of Pugs. Each Pug has it's own look.
Is it amazing?
