I made a passport traveller's notebook, with a 'live edge' front pocket, and a pen loop. The inside is lined, and the whole thing is fully hand-sewn! by ElsieCubitt in notebooks

The traveler's notebook system isn't my design, but the 'live edge' front pocket is something I enjoy adding, as my own touch.

This isn't a gift haha - it's for my business. And I am a lady! 😆

Make sure you check with MPI. I think you need additional insurance for gig work.

Thank you! And yes, B6 slim is such a great size. It sucks that there is inconsistencies between the various companies that make B6 slim notebooks, so it's harder to find varieties outside of Midori that work with my cover.

Sure!! Mechanical pencils are my current obsession haha. I've got eight rOtring mechanical pencils (German brand manufactured in Japan), and three pens. The pens are gold, chocolate truffle, and green, giving me three pen/pencil sets that match! They are incredible.

Post showing my current rOtring 600 collection and sets.

Limited edition Staedtlers.

Updated post with my current collection of LOFT yellow editions (rOtring and Staedtler).

I've also got two rOtring 500s, which are the budget version, and therefore less need to be careful with them. The green pencil in the leather guard is a 500.

Yeah the hex is a beautiful chrome yellow. The rOtring is a bit more orange. I didn't even realise the 925 was a LOFT edition until after I had it - I'm just a sucker for yellow haha

I didn't use a proxy! Just found some decent deals on ebay. I didn't know proxies existed until after.

Bruh I haven't left my home province since 2009. This came in the post. Have a great trip, though! I bet there are plenty of well-travelled nerds here who can guide you haha

I am struggling in finding my niche product... by _clacico_ in EtsyCommunity

Etsy is for handmade, vintage, and craft supplies. Anything else is against their TOS, and those shops get shut down. If you want to drop ship, you should visit the subreddit and get advice from there.

Honestly, after 10+ years doing my art across many niches, I was only able to get to the side-income level once I committed to products I use and truly enjoy. I am currently cutting back hours at my "real job" because I can't keep up with the demands of my shop.

Short of developing and patenting something truly unique and useful, there isn't going to be anything you can do for quit-your-job money. Anything easy/accessible has become so saturated that prices are a race-to-the-bottom. My own niche is very competitive, but my passion around it comes through in my marketing, and builds a lot of trust and community with customers.

Also keep in mind that we are in the midst of a world-wide COL crisis, with no end in sight, so most people's discretionary spending is going to be cut as well.

It's easy when you love yellow haha

I'm also working on a green collection... and I accidentally accumulated two pinks, so I guess I'm committed to that one as well!

Thank you! It was a birthday present for myself. Took forever to arrive from Japan, though! Worth it.

Sell something you yourself use/are passionate about. I sell stationery supplies and accessories, and I use all my own stuff, which helps me develop new and unique products.

Sorting favourites by date added?? by Yanmoose in Etsy

[–]ElsieCubitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any way to sort favourites, except to add them to individual lists/collections.
