Open for business with 2017 goals

Ellie's Treasures has started selling through a third online platform - nuMonday.  Set up as a UK based marketplace for creative individuals and small businesses, it is very new, having begun its journey in December 2016.

I've only managed to list a few of my items so far, but hopefully in a short time my store will be fully stocked giving customers the choice of which marketplace they'd like to purchase from.

It finally feels like Winter is behind us as we experience a few pleasant Spring like days.  Today has been glorious, so I grabbed the opportunity to taking my cuppa and planning diary outside to work in the sunshine.

Trying to plan a little and set some goals is really helping to keep my motivation going.  I did a blog post on this last year and have referred back to my 2016 intentions, goals, achievements quite regularly.  So I've started planning a few events for 2017 - taking part in the Etsy Makers Spring Market a couple of weekends ago has opened my eyes to online craft events - it was hard work but great fun and I plan to do a few more during the year.  I've also applied for a well known Norfolk Christmas market - a little daunting, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll be accepted.
