Its interesting to read your info on Storenvy because I’m seriously considering developing my own store on the site. You’re new to the whole business thing, but want to try out selling your stuff for the first time.

Do you have a lot of people saying that they aren’t sure where they can buy? I have a humble following on FB that keeps asking me “how to buy” my goods… and seriously with the “leave a comment below a pic” … MY ORDERS ARE ALL JUMBLED!
