I haven't been able to spend much time on the computer over the last 3 months due to illness which means my Etsy destash shop has been severely neglected. I am also way behind on reading posts here too and seeing everyone's lovely creations.

Due to chronic headaches and vertigo, my brain isn't functioning all that well so I need your help with the thinking part. What types of items should I add to my shop? What do you look for when surfing for supplies on Etsy? Do you look for specific items or the "I didn't know I needed it until I saw it" stuff? Are you interested in smaller or larger quantities? A handful of beads versus a whole strand?

I haven't been able to make anything for months and I already have too much stuff than I can ever use so I really need to destash some of it. I hate to part with my pretties but I have to. I have everything from stone and glass beads, pendants, findings, components, cord, ribbon. I appreciate any advice you can give me.

I look for partial strands (a handful) or groups of 3-5 stones/beads.

I look for interesting toggles and about 6-8 beads.

Sorry you're not doing well  with the Vertigo. I've had a bout of it several years ago after a bad car wreck and I know how hard it is to deal with.

Thanks Anne. I was thinking small quantities was the way to go.

Hi Lolly, thanks for your reply. I was thinking listing 5 to 10 beads at a time was probably the best way to go.

The vertigo has been difficult to deal with. I can't focus very well or read so I haven't been working or creating. The doctors haven't found the source of the vertigo yet but I have ruled out all the scary stuff (heart problem, brain tumor, seizures, Meniere's disease, aneurysm) for which I am *very* grateful, but I am ready for the answer.

Hope you are doing well.
