Relevancy Thursday

Etsy has started "Relevancy Thursday" search testing in which search results order items by relevancy, not recency. While it's a good idea in theory, it has seriously effected everybody's views and turned listing into a keyword spamming contest. Sellers that use accurate tags and titles are being punished. I haven't paid too much attention to the threads about it but I have seen a big decline in views and sales. I have also seen a large amount of GOOD deals on Etsy lately and so I've decided to start posting these great deals every Thursday. Grab them while you can!

Vintage 1940s Celluloid Bird Brooch $14 by retrospace

Frosted Lucite Vintage 1940s Florida Heart Pin $8 by thespectrum

Bakelite Dress Clip with Rhinestones $12 by VintageStation

Silver and White Leaf Necklace $23.99 with free shipping by AgingGracefully

Next week will be clothes!
