a special thank you

As a long-time Etsy buyer, I have always appreciated when the artist included a little special something something in my order. Not only the beautiful item I have hand-picked. But a few extras to give a taste of what the artist has to offer. A business card. A hand-written thank you note is a nice touch. The whole experience of opening the package is like receiving a gift in itself. Not just another item you ordered online.

"baby cake"

As a brand-spanking-new Etsy seller, I knew I wanted to provide the customer with a little surprise as well (hopefully she is not reading this before she opens her package! If she is here's a preview ;) So, as a special thank-you to the customer who bought my baby cake hoop art, I threw together a little goody bag. An accordion-folded flower, some business cards, a few vintage buttons from my stash, and two scalloped circle gift tags with baker's twine. I hope she likes it!

p.s. This was the first Etsy order that I ever shipped! My very first customer/order was someone local (and a friend), so I am hand-delivering this to her. But of course, I will include a similiar bag of goodies for her! In fact, with every order until the holidays, I will be including these extras. How fun is that? Each bag will be unique and vary based on my stash.
