What a day it has been! Again! Friday night I picked my mom up so she could spend the night with me. I needed help filling an order for the knitted Nana Slippers I have listed on my Etsy.com shop.
When I had orginally posted these slippers on Etsy I really didn't think that even one pair would sell. Ha! I have sold 11 pairs so far. One order had six pairs alone, 3 pairs for men, and 3 for women. The lady that ordered said she had recognized the slippers as the same ones that her grandmother had made for all her siblings. She wanted the slippers for her upcoming Christmas get together and said they will be a hit with her family. Obviously, this lady and her family had very good memories of their grandmother. That is the key reason I decided to sell the slippers. Why not share some good memories with others.
My mom had made many a pair of these for her kids and grandkids. They were our favorite sippers to wear. I remember we would get the first pair from mom, then we would ask her for a pair in every color.
I wanted to share my experience of these slippers with others, so I kept my price low, just 5 bucks a pair and 3 bucks for postage. You all know how tough it is to get a gift and a nice gift for someone at 5 bucks these days.
Earlier today as we were coming to a close of the order for six pair, I got another email from a girl that wanted to order a pair of Red Slippers for her boyfriend for Christmas. Her question...can I get them to her by Christmas. She is in luck, Ma has enough Red yarn for her order.
Tomorrow we're taking a trip to Michaels or Joann's for more yarn. Hope you still like me tomorrow Ma!
