well hello there my friends, how are you feeling? was your weekend a nice one? we went away and finally appreciated the arrival of fall… or should i say winter? temperatures fell drastically and yesterday strong winds and pouring rain was all we had! it was nice though to stay inside and take just a few walks on the empty beach with mr kobe, at least in the morning, while rain was still a bit away. i enjoyed arriving at home, and noticing that a very friendly customer had taken the {weekend deal} and bought three copies of this {calendar}… now back to its original price! i am enjoying these weekend deals, because it allows me to have some of your favorite prints on a very nice sale, for you to enjoy, creating at the same time a very nice tradition here, don’t you think?
i was wondering what kind of sales do you enjoy. personally when i am buying something online, i love when i have free shipping coupon somewhere! but i have read on etsy, i think, that some customers feel that free shipping is hiding something and that sellers are raising their prices in order to deliver free shipping promotions. but like i said, personally i love free shipping and never thought of it that way. as i am preparing things for the holiday season that is coming, if you have any piece of customer advice for me, i am all ears! i am already thinking about next weekend deal, so stay tuned about the next one!
in the meantime, i have listed a few new goodies on {a lomo love affair}, for larger sizes… as i am picturing these in great walls on the living-room or above your bed, if you are a bold person! so my suggestions…
these as a trio in a white or grey wall…
this one above your bed… if you enjoy this juicy colour…
these ones in your living room above your couch… creating a natural mood with film photography and natural details captured in a botanical garden. i see a brick wall, these hanged in white frames and pops of yellow around your living room. what do you say?
and if you enjoy something greener standing on its own…
and if you like some orange… and something bringing a summer mood for your walls… perhaps on your hallway? framed in white?
i hope you can take the time to explore more on this {etsy shop} and if there is anything you see that you would like in a different size, just let me know through email (hello@aplacefortwiggs). i would like to remind you that these are all film photography, which means i have not edited anything on these images, they come out like this from my yashica tl electro x, that you can see {here}. i am a film lover and i love exploring new kinds of film with my film cameras. i hope you love these as well, with all their characteristics… like grain… faded colours…

Hello there!
I’m feeling the sudden drop in temperature and I’m not glad.
As to your question about promotions I think it all depends on the customer.
I like free shipping when I’m buying internationally but it also brings to question if the same method is used, registered mail for instance, or if the seller will choose a cheaper shipment option!
I also love on some cases when another item from the shop is offered when you buy a certain amount or on special offers, it depends on what I’m buying. A discount of the original price works well when I know that the original price was really higher and it was something that had held me back from buying, but my opinion may not be the norm. (the price usually doesn’t hold me back, if it’s out of my budget I don’t buy it, but if it’s something in my budget and I think it’s worth it I’ll buy it).
The opinion you refer on Etsy may be applied to any discount offered, people can always have a feeling that something is being hidden but that can not be avoided if they have not buyed from you previously.
When I know the seller I know what to trust!
Hope this wasn’t to long. ;)
