It took me a while to get the hang of Etsy. I would advise your son to go check out other carved walking sticks, check out their item "tags" which are actually what people search for when they look for an item. Tags are the #1 mistake people make, I also think good pictures are the key to success along with the right price. It is hard for somebody to see the quality on a computer, be sure to describe as much as possible and provide as detailed pictures as possible.

Kris....I just looked at the Patchwork Chenille baby quilt, that you have for sale, and all I can say is...."WOW"!!! Gorgeous :shock: :shock: I had chenille bedspreads when I was growing up and have nostalgic feelings toward them.
Funny story about chenille bedspreads. When I was growing up my parents had a summer cottage and my mother would keep older bedding items, etc. there. One spring, when they opened the cottage up for the summer, she found that all of the chenille bedspreads were missing the little chenille tufts. It seems that the mice enjoy chenille also and had pulled all of the tufts out to line their nests :mrgreen:
