I never heard of tomato gravy. I will have to look into that as I am not curious.

I have an account there, but did not get much for sales. I received some. I was going to start listing some of my sewing items, herbs and tea blends, but I’m hesitant. I received an email today stating that if I do not confirm my banking info., that has not changed, my account will be cancelled. I have to make a decision. They do need our banking info., as that is where the extract funds to pay for our fees, but also where they pay us.

The benefit of Etsy, is that it has some great benefits for the sales person as well as the buyer, more so if you provide tracking info. I’ve had no charge backs, but there are some interesting customers out there.

My daughter does quite well on etsy, with her view as, “they do all the business stuff, while I get to work on my stuff”.

The platform that collects is Plaid, which was in a suite due to sharing of info. There is info on the net that can go into more detail.

There is a balance, yet once we get a marketplace up here on Freesteading, we should be working with more and more like-minded people. It doesn’t mean we will have some interesting characters here, but for the most part, those who see freesteading as outlandish, most will probably not be interested.

I hope that helps. Remember, that is just a personal view. I haven’t decided if I will re-submit my banking info or not.

I don’t think one can go overboard. It is crazy out there. We decided that if there is some resources left on our health spending account, we will purchase necessary wraps of sort. I already picked up some wrist, elbow, and hand braces. We have knee and ankle.
I have plenty of gauze and adhesive bandages (including skin sensitive ones for myself), yet will be making some large cotton wraps, similar to what used to be in first aid kits, about the size of a large banana.
This is a nice reminder for myself to get get a little extra peroxide.

I hope that it is okay to post here. I am trying to build my youtube channel, realizing it can take time. I would love additional subscribers for support.
Potpourri Of Life – YouTube
I will be focusing on herbs and sewing, yet considering my “potpourri of life” journey, it does emcompass a variety of subjects including that of my Lyme journey, cooking, etc.

Thank you in advance for your support

No side hustle here at the moment. I did run a sewing business providing various sewing services, yet when I was dx w/Lyme disease it changed how I could work.
So, for now, recently retired, I will be selling home sewn items along with plans to sell tea and herbal blends. Not sure I want to relist on Etsy as I did not get much traffic.
Fortunately my husband does work a 3-day shift that supports our basic needs.

I just subscribed to yours as well. Thank you for sharing

Inspecting my husband’s hunting clothes helps me, in that I don’t generally need to do repairs when he gets home in order to go the next day due to a tear, zipper mending or button replacing.
Just an ounce of prevention. Thank you for checking out my channel. I appreciate it.

My apologies for my delay in responding…it has been hectic on my end, but always working and moving forward.

LOL…oh my, I am tired LOL I have been doing a lot on my husbands father’s estate, as he passed a few weeks past. My brain is not where it should be. Then again, sometimes it just happens. I noticed it in some of my video’s too…yikes…but I’m human and appreciate the gentle/kind manner in which you shared.
But YES I AM curious.
Sorry for my delay in response.

I agree whole heartedly. The only change we made when Covid became a popular word, was dig in and prepare for the upcoming storm. My garden did not do as well as I would have liked, but I learned.

The bible is truly history, yet most people do not learn from history in the manner of actually making a change. Those who are able to endure what is about to happen will be the workers, the ones who are up for the task to survive, and that is making sacrifices.

Sodom and Gomorrah is a vivid example of what happens when we do not heed God’s word, or even the warnings we have been told about.

May God help the souls of those who do not truly understand and refuse to learn. We can’t make people do what they are unwilling to do.

[potpourri_of_life]

Absolutely!! Many of us have limited resources and while we are all trying to run a business or side hustle, we need it to run effeciently.

[potpourri_of_life]

Absolutely!! Thank you so much

[potpourri_of_life]

Toni, no, absolutely not. I did not see you as laughing at it. I do that at times, when I’m excited about the new opportunities. Life is good when we are a community of like minded individuals.

[potpourri_of_life]

That is great!! It is the subs that matter.

[potpourri_of_life]

That would be nice, but maybe once this site is all set up. You have a huge project here. Baby steps LOL I laugh because I know how excited little ones are when they are taking their first steps. Yet, the reason I suggest letting everything here get settled and worked out, is that you can work on a video platform at that point. I hope that makes sense
