happy easter!

A basket of Easter eggs

Happy Easter everyone! Wish you have a meaningful one. :)


[ shop makeover update ]

So the shop makeover is ongoing. I did not keep count on how many I've changed, just slowly changing one by one if I have time. I hope the new tags and the new listing description style are better (and more SEO friendly).

[ facebook page ]
I just found this, via Etsy forum, yesterday. The article is giving a detailed instruction on building a Facebook page. Super useful. :)

[ blog post ]
I have thought of featuring my customers and their business in this blog. Will start to contact them as soon as I have finalized the plan. I'm open for interview/how-to-feature-with-a-bang ideas. :)

So I'm wishing you readers a wonderful week ahead! :D

my etsy shop makeover: titles, descriptions, and tags

I read a thread in the forum a few days ago and I just realized that I made quite a mistake in tagging! I've been tagging my items with potential uses for them... and this is frustrating for people who is using 'search' to shop for items. If I have ever frustrated you in this way, I am so sorry.

So I am launching a shop makeover, especially for my tags. If you want to know more about the tagging system, you can find more information here. I have slightly over than a hundred items in the shop. It could take a little while, but I will get them right! :P

I think I'll be referring to The Etsy Shop Makeover series often to make shopping a better experience for all of you.

I just uploaded some of my custom orders pictures in my Facebook page. Check them out here. I planned to upload them in the blog too with accompanying stories. But let's do this slowly. :)

I just created a Facebook Page here:

Vivera Design Facebook Page

The first 25 people who 'like' the page can pick ANY one product from my Etsy shop for FREE. I will send you a message in your Facebook inbox for notification. :)

Thank you so much! :D

Update: The page is now located here: https://www.facebook.com/viveradesign (after 25 likers, we can choose an account name for shorter addres).

the road not taken

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
