Not Sure About the Pink.

.

Thanks so much for all your input. You have such great ideas and suggestions! This is the last post on these pics. I'm getting sick of them myself. However - I just picked up the pitcher this morning and said,

"Man! I really want to KEEP these now!"

Somebody slap me!

I found a neat tutorial - don't you just love YouTube for that?



Having got all these photos done and actually entering these into ETSY for sale, now I'm not sure about the fuchsia I added to the borders.

I was pulling in the color of the flowers as well as the brass, but I wonder if I should have just stuck with the simple, classic black.

That's me, I will obsess about whether I've ended the world over a simple little thing like that.

I'm going to also post these on eBay if I can figure that out. I had a suggestion from a sweetheart friend of mine to bump up the price so I decided to try it out, and if it doesn't sell, bring it back down. So my beginning seed money selling price is $44.00. Exciting stuff for a newbie such as I!

It's the shipping that sets my knees to knocking. That, or missing being notified that someone wants it. Learning curves are always unsettling for me at first, so I will figure it out as I go along.





EDIT - I keep forgetting that all my pics get cut off on the right side, so they sort of lose something in the posting.

















I really need to can tomatoes and work today, but I am going to set it aside and celebrate Shabbat. The work can wait til Sunday. :)

  1. You pictures are really looking good! I love the rocks in the background. Honesty, I didn't realize the pink flowers were in the photo! I think they are probably not necessary, but I also think they aren't detracting from anything right now.

    If you need help listing, or figuring out the weirdness feel free to email me.

    Let me now what your Etsy ID is so I can heart your shop!

  2. Thanks Jo,

    I didn't know you had an ETSY shop. :)

    Yeah, another of my dazzling character traits is that I have a tendency to overdo everything.

    So I like the flowers, but I could do without the extra color on the borders. I went to see if I could take it out quickly, but it would mean re-editing from scratch and I don't think the extra color warrants all that extra work.

    Do I have your email? Heading over to your place...

  3. Faith, love the frames around the vase pics...I need to catch up on your posts to see what you're up to now! You are such an inspiration to us all! But honestly, you take a break? Do you really know the word "relax"..LOL

  4. Faith...I think the framing is fine. Neither adds nor subtracts from the photo. If it means taking a bunch of time to change it, then I wouldn't bother!

  5. Dean,

    You mean.... (sob).... you don't hang on my every profoundly printed word and read and reread each and every one? (sniff, sniff)

    I'm hurt, Dean. That's all I can say. Just hurt.

    LOL

    Yes, of course I know that word. And just as soon as I finish one.more.eensy-weensy thing, I'm going to take the whole day off.

    Have a great day with JD! :-)

  6. Hmmm... I think you need a Blackberry so everything will just notify you through it ;-D (Like you really need anything adding confusion into your day!) Hope everything comes out well! See you in the morning! (I also hope that you actually took the day off!)

  7. Leah,

    Yeah, that or a memory chip implant. It would all be so much simpler if I had more RAM. :)

  9. Your obsessing is hilarious and reminds me way too much of myself in certain areas....what is Shabat?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yeah, I get a kick out myself sometimes too. LOL

    Shabbat is the Hebrew word for Sabbath. Michael and I began attempting to honor the Lord's festival days over a year ago. It's a lot of fun.

  15. Dean,

    No, nothing yet, but I haven't promoted it. I would like to get it on eBay, but I'm a little intimidated by it.

    I really need to spend some time and figure out how to put an ad on there.

    ETSY is not really best place for those vases. ETSY is for handcrafts. A cottage industry lane on the cyber highway in the information age.

    Honestly? I think that was way to many metaphors in one sentence.
