Default New Blog Shop !!

For ages now, I have looked at, and been inspired by all your lovely Blogshops! As you know, I love sewing, crafts, and makeovers, and I've always thought, "I want to do that one day", so now I am going to do just that!!

Last night I was up till about midnight setting up a blog for it. Haven't got very far yet, have a background, header, and a name -

Shabby Polkadots!

I want to sell handmade items on there, fabric, bric-a-brac, and any other pretty, vintage items.
As I have never done this before, any tips, or advice would be very welcome girls. It's harder than I thought, and don't want to forget anything!
I look forward to your comments!!

Open your shop on a separate page.
Go to Edit on your post.
Highlight Shabby Polkdots
Click on the little world symbol (looks like a globe & paper clip) at the top of the reply box.
Delete the http://
Copy & paste the www/http:// for your shop into the link box.
Job done.
