CP: Face Masks

My wife's been making face masks for friends and family and co-workers. But now she's out of personal contacts to make masks for, so I encouraged her to set up an Etsy shop. She's got a ton of cute designs, if anyone is looking for face masks still, or if you just want something cuter than what you have.

(yes, that's a picture of my wife. How did I get so lucky? :D)

I just bought one. I couldn't figure out how to buy multiples, though my initial plan was to buy one and see if we like it here. I just thought I'd mention that ordering issue in case it wasn't just me. I picked a pattern, then picked another and the first one disappeared. Again, that may be just me as I don't shop etsy. I hope I like it.

Keep well.

She's already got a few orders, with people picking multiple.
You should be able to pick a pattern, click "add to cart", go back to the shop, pick another pattern, click "add to cart". They should both be in there. If they aren't, it may be a cookie problem. Hard to say, as etsy controls their platform.

Hope you like the mask!

Right, that's how it works. My first selection brought me to a new page indicating the details; then I hit the "previous page" arrow at top left, made a new selection, and sure enough, now both were in my cart. Simply repeat the process until all your selections are met. It's a tad fiddlesome, but nothing to scare me off.

Nice choices! All the best.

Thanks :) If I worked for Etsy, I'd suggest a few changes to their cart/checkout (such as not going to checkout after every cart addition)..but I don't, so we live with what they give us

Mine arrived. I got four different patterns, because I figure if I'm gonna wear these things, might as well make it something of a fashion statement too.

Sourcing material, as you can imagine, is difficult these days...she's grabbing whatever cute stuff she can find. She put up 9 or 10 more designs today (including Washington Nationals, if you're a fan). She goes out about once a week and hits the craft/fabric stores to see what she can get that she thinks people will like.

Well, it's a pretty good selection already. I was just kidding about the fangs, in any case. :)

Just wanted to drop a line here thanking everyone who's ordered. We got someone just yesterday who commented they saw the etsy page here on C&F.

This is not a bump to try to drum up more business...she's currently a little overwhelmed and freaking out :) But I thought I'd come in and say thanks to you guys.

And here's a picture of her, hard at work in the sweatshop, freaking out a little.
