Who doesn’t love a good piece of seasonal decor? I think colorful seasonal pieces are in order for every season! I just love these beautiful colorful mason jars for fall and spring. I think they would sell really well at crafts fairs and flea markets year round – just tailor the jar’s theme to the season, and you’re good to go!
UPDATE: A lot of people have been asking me lately where exactly you should try to sell your crafts online. I am going to write a post about this, but in the meantime, I want to put this out there – there is no better place to sell your crafts that a combo of local Facebook groups + Etsy + your own website. Hands down, the first thing I would do if I wanted to sell crafts online is to set up a shop on my blog. With a blog, you are able to push out your images and sales pages to all sorts of platforms, including Facebook and Pinterest. There are millions of people shopping for handmade items, and if you have your own blog, you can call the shots. You can even take a shot at ranking in Google for the craft of your choice – that’s how I get so much traffic to my own e-products and sell them like crazy every month. The principle is the same for physical products.

I have jars and perfume bottles of all shapes and sizes, that I have been collecting over the years. I was wondering or hoping if there is someone that might be interested in buying them. I have washed them and are all in clean condition.
Lena Gott says
I think so! I see old perfume bottles all the time at antique shops! I love the look of them.
