The seasons and Etsy.

I've been thinking lately about how the seasons are apparent on my etsy shop. How if you look back through the pages you can tell what season the photos are taken in and how that affects the whole feel of the thing.

Fall for example was a good season when I could still take photos outside and get bits of plant life and fun.














This will be my second summer on Etsy and hopefully my first with an outside place to take photos so summer shots are few and far between. Most are of candles that haven't sold and still look good on that old Victorian windowsill at my former apartment. Still you can see a summer shower on the window and the trees outside in this one. I really don't know how summer looks on my shop!











This is one my few winter photos that is actually outside. The winter photos are almost all vintage and supply items or pendants on wood tables and near the end the dead twister rush in my room. Winter was really good for sophisticated items since it was clean and sedate but I had a hard time photographing some of my brighter items.

Spring has been really good to me so far. I have some fun exuberant items in my shop that really needed photo updates and nothing seems to capture it like spring. Nature bursting out from winter and going as fast as it can to live, breed and store up energy until winter comes again. I can barely take photos of vintage or supplies though I have them because every week something new blooms that I need to include in my shop pages. That said I do have a couple of items that just don't work in spring and would look better in a calmer season but that's where I have to get creative.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately and today on the front page a listing showed up that lead me to these:

Maybe I'm not the only one?
