Little by Little, the bird learn to fly - Purge Update

The message of the Week


  • Petit a Petit, L'Oiseau apprend a voler
  • Little by Little, the bird learn to fly

What went well this week?

  • I sold 9 items.
  • I relisted 124 items which are for grab NOW
  • I reorganised my inventory at home so everything I am currently selling is in a wardrobe, ready to grab.
  • I also brought together the items I am planning to photograph and sell next month.
  • I tried to put a card in all my parcels.
What are you thinking to improve?
  • I am thinking to improve the message on the card
    • At the moment, it is just ''Thank you for your order it is greatly appreciated'' 
    • Now I am thinking to write, ''Thank you for your order this week, it caused me to realise how much I love selling on eBay, packing the item and sending it knowing that someone somewhere is going to make use of it. As a result, I am going to post even more items in my shop. Keep on watching my evolution! Thanks again.''
  • For the drawing, I make little cyclops. 
    • I am wondering if I could make a little stencil of the Cyclops with written Bazar Heureux. The cyclops could be part of the logo.
    • Eventually, it will be good to have an address to this blog onto the card. I am not at this stage just yet though. Until I have found an item to sell that people want
  • For the packaging, at the moment, I am using plastic bags that I have at home. 
    • I was thinking to maybe talk with Stacey to see if where she buys her bag and maybe get some in bulk with her. I will probably do that once I do not have any more bags. The other option is to grab materials from the hackspace, or maybe try to find on freecycle and waste not want not people who are giving them for free.
  • For the listing, I will add items next months onto my listing
    • I have been talking to my mum about getting some stuff from her. She is at the moment slightly reluctant so I am not going to force it.
    • Eventually, I want to get an item that I can sell over and over again that people want. I am not sure what it is yet. It will be great if it is something which produces minimal waste. Something that is valuable enough that people want to retain it for a long period of time. Something that makes them happy.  Something I can sell in high volume with the effort of packing them up. Small enough that I can have to pack them from home. 
    • I could sell an item with some cyclops branding on it in the future 
    • I also thought that maybe Zosia could make me some skirts and tops with the fabric I have got left but we could sell it all from Sandrine Nyota page.
  • For packing and posting, I am not sure yet how to proceed. 
    • I am thinking that from the moment I receive a bid on the item, I will pack the item straight away.
    • Then once I receive the payment, I can write the address on the item straight away.
    • Otherwise, it will be good eventually to print the slip order.
    • I need to get some tape from the hackspace or see if I can get some from free from somewhere
  • For Pinterest, I completely deleted by mistake or not all the items I had on it. I am not sure how to proceed.
    • I will probably leave it for now. I will see next month what is the best way to proceed. it seems anyway I receive more visitors from twitter so maybe I should focus on that for now.
What are you grateful for?
  • I am very grateful for all the people who have visited my shop and made a purchase.
  • I am grateful for investing time and energy into making bazar heureux reality.

Blacklist

It may be time to create a blacklist of companies to avoid and definitely refuse to  work for: - Those which are more than 3 miles than my home - Those which does not allow me to work from home - Those which does not allow me to work fewer hours - Those which pollute with no sorry - Those with negative employee reviews - Those which do not design products that are repairable - Those which do not put the wellbeing of their staff first what else, add to the list

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

Graham & Thrift Out of Order

In the article put forward by Graham & Thrift, he strive to put  forward that repair and maintenance is the central component of the development of economies. and a basis of our survival there is different way the article canbe quite useful within the thesis. First, in indicating that repair provide an opportunity for the being to actually learn and develop oneself through a process of innovation, indicating there and then that repair is the premist of innovation, it is when soemthing break that theindividual tend to develop himself by trying to find way to repair the item Second, that repair processes that happen in citieiss and in everyday life tend to be hidden from mot people who cannot see it happenign by reading report or hearing report when they are actually happening. people can only foresee the item as well when the alter is broken, when it works they cannot actualyy xsee the item but only focus on its function. there is all the chapter about e-waste at the ...
