Ok, that sounds waaaay better than what actually happened, but it is technically true, we did sell 10 bags today! Here is what happened:

There is a section in Etsy called Alchemy. This is where buyers can post requests for custom handmade items, and then sellers bid on the opportunity to make the goods.

My sister and I have been occasionally searching in this area, looking for buyers with interests in purses. Yesterday, we found two. One lady looking for five bridesmaid clutches to go with their green dresses, and another lady looking for five bridesmaid clutches to go with their pink dresses! I bid on both, explaining to each one what kind of clutch I had in mind for their bridesmaids. Today, after 14 bidders later, I found out that I won both of the bids!

So although the bags are not made yet nor being paid for yet, yes, we did sell 10 clutches today, the most we have sold in one day! Yay!

wow that's brilliant! I've not had any luck with alchemy - possibly because people rarely know in advance that they "need" a knitted meerkat!

Love this little bag, actually love them all. Would enjoy seeing a clutch style in a smaller version. Blessings, Mama Cat
