We’ve heard rumors that they’re expanding, so wait to come over until then. Personally, I think they could have a whole park dedicated to HP and they made the Wizarding World too small to start. It’s AMAZING, but the way it is now, it can be done in a few hours.

Here is my Pinterest success story: I made a onesie for a friend’s baby, almost 2 years ago. I put a picture of it up on my flickr page. (http://www.flickr.com/photos/laurahartrich/4661383223/) I check my flickr stats fairly regularly, and was shocked to see the views for this particular picture skyrocket around August of last year. I was getting hundreds of views every day on this onesie, all coming from Pinterest. I wasn’t a member yet. I had a vague idea of what it was. I thought, if so many people like this onesie enough to pin it, maybe they would also like it enough to buy it. It took me several weeks to get my act together (I’m a busy SAHM to two young boys), but I finally got an Etsy shop set up and offered the onesie, or a variation of it, for sale. Then I put a link to my etsy shop on my flickr photo page, so if people are patient enough to click through twice, they will find my etsy shop, The Onesie (http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheOnesie?ref=si_shop). I wish I had been ready to set up shop quicker once I saw the views on that photo going up, because I totally missed an opportunity for sales during that first initial surge. Still, I did the best I could under the circumstances, and I have done pretty well, even though my views on that pin have dropped significantly since the initial cycle of re-pins. I’m at 350+ sales in my Etsy shop, since September, and sales continue to be pretty steady. It has been a great experience overall…. I have started to think of myself as a small business woman in addition to a stay at home mom. I had to teach myself to screen print because I couldn’t keep up with orders when I was painting every onesie by hand, which is how I started out. One negative thing is that since my onesie is so ubiquitous on Pinterest, there are a lot of other people now selling the phrase that I originated. Kind of hard to swallow. When I find other people selling onesies with my phrase, I politely ask them to stop. Most cooperate. Others don’t. It has been a crazy ride for me. My house is a lot messier than it used to be, and I’m on a first name basis with all the clerks at my local post office. I’ve never been busier in my life, but I wouldn’t trade it. Thank you, Pinterest and Pinners!
