4. Are you in the DaWanda Shop Directory here? yes
5. What Category are you under? Accessories, Bags and Purses
6. What do you sell? First of all bags, pouches, wallets but also other accessories made with fabric like covered button ponytails or pins.
7. Describe 2 of your current products.

1) 3D Owl Zippered Pouch - this pouch has a bit of humor in it, because the 3D appliquè makes the little owl pops out. It's Great as a cosmetic case or a pencil case for children.

2) Woman Secrets - Tampon and Pad Bifold Wallet Case. Not that we have anything to hide, but this bifold wallet case it's ideal to carry tampons and pads. This bifold case will hold up to 5 tampons, and up to 3 pads depending upon their thickness! Magnetic snap closure ensures you an easy to open case but won't open in your purse, pocket or backpack.

8. Tell me a bit about you...

I'm Giusy from Italy. I'm a sort of bohemian craft artist, I love to create sewing stuff like bags, pouches, personal accessories, quilt etc. I'm also a cross stitch designer and sell my own cross stitch design line the "Giusypatch Original Designs".I'm pretty new to DaWanda, but I've been on the net since 1998 with a freehosting site first, and from 2000 with my website, but it is actually off line at the moment because we decided to renew it to fitting my new handmade Bags&Co. style.

9. Do you have a website, or blog? yes, http://lecoccole.blogspot.com/

How to List your Item on all 3 Language sites.

Have you listed you item only on the English site? Did you know that by listing on all three language sites your items are open to a wider audience?

To make your item appear in all 3 languages...

• Go to my DaWanda and press My shop.
• Find your item and them press edit.
• Under the English description and tags you will see 'do you wish to list in another language - German or French'. You will notice that 'German' and 'French' are highlighted in blue.
• Press 'German' and up will pop boxes for your description and tags.
• Do the same for ‘French’ and a second set of boxes will appear.
• You will need to copy and paste your English description and tags if you do not speak German, or French... I find a German and French dictionary helps a little with the tags at least.
• Press save and continue and again once you get to the pictures.
• Your item has now been added to the French and German sites.
  

Handy Tip… if you don’t speak German or French (like me!) then try adding the following before your English description, when you are listing in a different language.

German - Bitte beachten Sie die englische Beschreibung, wenn Sie mehr über meine Produkte erfahren wollen.

French - Veuillez lire la description en anglais si vous voulez en savoir plus sur cet article!

Which means ‘Please read the description in English if you want to know more about this product!’

The New Directory of Shops

As you may have read my old link provider will soon be no more and so I have had to come up with a way of promoting those georgeous DaWanda shops. I decided to do this by opening a new site at http://dawandashopdirectorylinks.blogspot.com, which is linked here as DaWanda Shop Directory Links on the top, right hand panel ---->

There are 2 ways you can find shops there; Firstly check out the lists provided under the top page headings, or secondly scroll through the featured sellers' posts, where you can find pictures of their products.

This is the first of the featured sellers - DaWanda Shop Directory Links: Le Bar du Vent

Please check out Le Bar du Vent and the Directory of Shops to find your favourite DaWanda shop!

Help!!

Does anyone know enough about formatting blogs to help me understand why the right hand column suddenly slips down the page to below the articles, when I list a new stylehive feature??

If you do... please email me... I'm stumped!! Sx
