Sold!

I can't believe it.  Last evening I posted a new item for sale in my Etsy shop.  It wasn't two hours later and I noticed an unfamiliar email in my inbox.  Thankfully I didn't delete it the way I usually do.  Something caught my eye.  I opened it to find that I had actually SOLD the Tea Time table topper/wall hanging.  WooHoo!  I can't believe it! Oh, did I say that already? 

Anyway, I have been wondering how I actually get the money when someone pays through Paypal.  Well, now I have the answer to that too.  I have to set up my checking account, which could take a couple of days.  It's not my purchaser's fault so I sent that little item in the mail today.  I'll get the rest figured out in a day or so.

I wanted to have some cute little bumblebee ribbon to wrap it up nicely and note cards to write a little "thank you so much for buying something from me your purchase".  Alas, I didn't have any of that because I didn't expect to actually sell anything.  But. I. Did.  I picked up some yellow tissue paper and some black ribbon (pretty bumblebee-ish if you ask me) and wrapped a nice little package.  I got some little note cards as well.

I have contacted the purchaser twice keeping her informed about the shipment of her item. I'm trying to provide excellent customer service along with a smartly wrapped package.  It may not sound like much to you but I hope it's just the beginning!

Thanks for stopping by...
