Real Bummer
Well, what is a real bummer is that I was without internet service for 16 days. I moved from one house to another but the internet service did not immediately follow. I was so bummed out.
I missed a potential sale of my Gold Round Lace Necklace. I wrote the the potential customer and have not heard back from her.
I did manage to save a sale of one of my destash books though. Poor customer purchased the crochet book the day that my service was disconnected from the old house. She was a new buyer and didn’t realize that anything was going wrong with the sale. Glad I was able to save the sale.
I also had about 1/2 of my GrandmaMarilyns shop in my expired listings since I hadn’t been able to get online to renew them.
I was in 2 treasuries but could not get a screen shot of them. My Purple Right Angle Weave Bracelet was in a treasury curated by BusyBeads. Here are some lovely Purple Passion Petal Vintage Style Earrings from her shop
My Gold Round Lace Necklace was in a treasury curated by Noahsarkcollection. Here is a cute turtle pendant from their shop.
I am membership coordinator for one of my Etsy teams and fell behind on admitting members to the team.
I think that is all that went wrong while I didn’t have internet service. I contacted the internet server and let them know that they owed me so I am getting a month free as compensation for the length of time it took to get my internet reconnected.
Well, I am slowly but surely getting everything straightened out.

Hey Marilyn! I know how moves can be with computers! Being without mine sends shivers down my spine. I even have a free checkup but I would be without my computer for 3 days and I have decided if I can do that!!!!! Yeah for technology!
Internet problems can be so frustrating since we use our computers so much nowadays! Glad you are all fixed now.
Sorry to hear about the internet problems and how they affected your business. I hope you hear back from your customer and all your sales work out.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments. It is good to be back. Hopefully nothing like this happens again. It IS very tramatizing.
Glad you’re back. I wondered why you seemed to suddenly disappear. I’m so sorry about your lost sale. Things are so slow now and it’s disheartening to lose a possible sale.
Hi, Marilyn! So glad you’re back! It really throws our system into shock to be without our internet service!! I know if I have to be without it I feel like my right arm is missing. Hope it’s all getting straightened out, and you’ll soon be right back where you left off!

Marilyn, that is a bummer. Sorry about the necklace sale but it is a really pretty piece and I’m sure someone else will come along. Anyway, glad you’re back.
That’s a real bummer.
You can get right back on track now lady and don’t let it happen again LOL.
Marilyn, I am soooooooooooooooooo glad you are back! I missed you terribly!!! I kept racking my poor pain-medicated brain trying to remember if you had told me you were going to be gone for a while o_O Anyway, WELCOME BACK!!! Oh, and that turtle pendant is adorable!
Hope you get some sales!
Aloha Grandma! Love your blog. So glad you are back!
Glad things are working out better now : )
That stinks about the internet! (((HUGS)))
