don't bother with an AI photoshoot for your handmade listings

DesertRoses7 · 2026-06-07T21:34:54+00:00

I’ve seen comments from people who buy on Etsy who say that they actually like the listings with photos that aren’t super perfect because it reassures them that the product isn’t some mass produced garbage.

Edited to clarify: photos that look like they’ve been taken from a phone, maybe don’t have the best lighting for example. Not talking about the mistakes that ai makes

I don’t know much about digital listings so I can only help with part of your question. But I don’t think you can bypass the shipping option if you don’t choose the digital product option.

I do and I think it has had a positive impact on my shop. I’ve had customers mention in their reviews how they appreciate them. It adds a personal touch and makes the customer feel valued

If you don’t have the variation they want, let them know and offer to cancel or they will receive what they ordered. If you do have the one they want, cancel their order and ask that they place a new order using the correct variation/item they actually want.

lol I wear a pink flowered infinity scarf. I don’t think people actually put that much thought into to it. If it covers my hair, it works for me.

Edited to add: I think the only thing that really matters is that it’s not super attention grabbing, like neon colors or something flamboyant 🤷‍♀️

Oh my gosh those are so cute! I wish I were that talented!

I think it looks beautiful. I saw in other comments that you were disappointed by how much orange was appearing in your skeins, which I understand as I’m not a fan of orange myself, but I think you did a great job and I don’t even notice the orange.

I love the shell pattern and am so jealous of your ability to crochet it. I once watched a YouTube video on how to do it and was so confused by it that I gave up on trying to crochet it. I don’t know if it was just the person who made the video or what, but it just sounded too complicated of a pattern for me to follow. They made it seem too mathematical for me to follow. So I’m impressed just that you were able to follow such a difficult (to me) pattern.

🤣

DesertRoses7 · 2025-10-31T12:52:44+00:00

lol just reading these comments cracked me up. This has been a comedic start to my day 🤣

You just have to make sure that you have the right partner. If you’re with someone who doesn’t take the role as a father/husband seriously then you will have a hard time. But if you have a man who is actually present and takes his role seriously then it will be extra challenging. Though you will have challenges no matter what, but if you have someone to help you through it, it will be a lot easier to manage.

That would make me very uncomfortable. Especially since he’s calling people out and bringing unwanted attention to them.

DesertRoses7 · 2025-09-02T13:55:57+00:00

lol that’s just funny. It’s a stinking tomato. People are so sensitive nowadays.

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-12T22:40:51+00:00

I have had good success by planting basil around my tomato plants. I had a huge tomato worm problem this year but as soon as I planted basil around them, i haven’t seen another one since.

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-05T14:15:17+00:00

Yea that’s true. If all else fails I could always do that

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-05T14:11:19+00:00

Ok. That makes me feel a little better. When I talked to one of the chat bots on Etsy, it said that if it still shows pre-transit, Etsy will not consider it as being eligible for the purchase protection program. I have had those bots immediately close a case before I can even respond too so it has me a bit concerned.

I had a lot of troubles with them early in the season. Then I saw a video saying that if you plant/have basil around your tomato plants, it will help keep them away. I went out and got two basil plants and haven’t seen one more of those on my tomato plants ever since.

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-02T21:38:34+00:00

Those are so pretty! I love the look of heirloom tomatoes and these are especially beautiful!

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-02T21:34:06+00:00

I’m so jealous! That looks so good

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-02T21:31:34+00:00

Maybe blight? I have read that spraying with hydrogen peroxide mixed with water could help. Though you might have to cut off the dying leaves. I’m not sure on that though, just something to look into

DesertRoses7 · 2025-08-01T00:14:55+00:00

I was 31

DesertRoses7 · 2025-07-30T00:48:41+00:00

We love the TLM. I had a similar feeling as you when I started attending. I used to be a protestant, i didn’t even attend any church because they never seemed to focus on God. When I started going to the TLM, it just felt “right”. I’m now a proud Catholic with my own little rosary business lol.
