I have been working away on my Etsy shop, adding new items and working on the technical side of things like tagging better and expanding the descriptions. Much of my Etsy education has come from reading through the forums over there, and one point that comes up a lot is the number of items in your shop. Most seem to claim that you need anywhere from 50 to 100 pieces in a shop to start getting noticed, so my goal is to go for 50 and see how that goes for awhile. I’m also working on photographs, which I think are getting better, and trying to work on a more cohesive look for the shop.
Right now, I seem to have stumbled into a sea or ocean theme.

Your photos are lovely … and so are the products.
Good luck with getting to 50. That advice makes a lot of sense to me. Volume lends you more credibility as a serious craft retailer.
