Folksy sellers: double check your bill!

Do you sell on Folky? Check your Folksy bill, you may have been overcharged...
I normally pay my Folksy bill without even checking it but this months I had a proper look at it and spotted some duplicated listing charges.
The item description, date, time and amount were exactly the same which didn't seem right. So I contacted Folksy who said they will remove the duplicated fees. They did that a couple of days later and sent me this explanation:

This is a bug which seems to occur when a seller increases the quantity of a listing while the item is in draft, or while listing-similar (we do not see this bug when ‘renewing’ a listing). Tech support are working to fix this. In the meantime, we apologise for the inconvenience but would advise that you complete the listing without altering quantities and then increase quantities afterwards.

So just double check your Folksy bill to make sure you not paying more than you are supposed to...

New Personalised Copper Tag Bracelet.

I have a new personalised bracelet available to buy (and I am also testing Paypal's BUY NOW button - hope it works!)

This personalised bracelet features a solid copper tag threaded onto a 2mm black waxed cotton cord.
The tag can be personalised with your names, date or a short message. The tag is oxidised and wire brushed to create a lovely aged effect.
The bracelet is finished with a handmade copper button and fastens by threading the button through the end loop.

Stamping Instructions
Please leave a message in the ‘Note to seller’ field what you would like me to stamp on the tag (max. 2 lines of text, 15 characters including spaces per line).
Apart from capital letters and numbers, I can now stamp a small heart symbol.

Gingerbread house.

My daughter's favourite story at the moment is Hansel & Gretel. She has a book and we read the story almost every night! So I though it would be nice if we make (or attempt to make...) a gingerbread house.
Here are some photos to show you how we got on:

It not the best house in the world (it looks like it's subsiding a bit...) but my daughter loves it!
Here is a link (includes the house template) if you fancy making one yourselves!

Folksy's Best Sellers: I'm Number 6 !!!

Have you seen Folksy's new homepage feature? It's a chart of 40 Best sellers in the last 7 days.
I came across it accidentally this afternoon and when I was just scrolling down looking who is on the list, I spotted my shop in Number 6! I could not believe it, I didn't expect to see my name at all...
Anyway, it really made my day so I think I should go and celebrate...
Congratulations to the other 39 shops! Thanks Folksy, great new feature.

Recent order: Unusual personalised message keyring

I recently had a request for one of my personalised message keyrings.
This time, however, the lady wanted a personal message equally spread over the whole keyring with no spaces between the letters or words. It kind of makes the keyring into a little riddle...
And here is the finished product, see if you can read it...
If you would like one of these for Father's Day, please visit my website (www.personalisedtreasures.co.uk). They are £14.99 + P&P.
