Bride Crew T-shirt

I'm also starting a collection of bride/wedding apparel gifts. Below, you'll find a Bride Crew T-shirt that can be personalized with names (adults only), as well as different font and shirt colors.  Available in adult sizes S-5XL and children's sizes S-XL. Pictures of the color selections for the Gildan 5000 (adults) and Gildan 5000B (children's) shirts are available in the Etsy listing, which is provided beneath the first picture below.

Please contact me at any time through Etsy messages to design great items for you. There is no fee for designing. If we come up with something awesome for you, then you will simply pay the normal price for the items you want your design(s) on. And as always, a discount will be applied when you order 10 or more items in one order.

Love Obey Trust Christian T-shirt

Love Obey Trust is another Christian tee I have designed and listed on Etsy. The first T in Trust is Christ hanging on the cross. A Bible book, chapter, and verse is under each word that applies a biblical reference for each word.

Black font on white t-shirt is shown, but other t-shirt and font colors can be used. Just send us an Etsy message.

Here is a link to the Gildan 5000 t-shirt colors for the prices available in the Etsy listing.

For a few dollars more, you can select from the Bella+Canvas 3001 colors, which have more color options. 

When you buy 10 or more of any of my t-shirts of either Gildan 5000 or Bella+Canvas 3001, you qualify for a discount.

Please contact us through Etsy to get discount pricing, order multiple sizes, and to choose your colors and brand. Also, message me with any other questions you have before purchasing my t-shirts. Responses may take up to 48 hours depending on the time of day you send your messages.

Free Shipping isn't Always Free

From experience, I know that free shipping offers aren't always free. Buyers and sellers, please read below for helpful information and trade secrets. I LOVE Etsy and eBay, but these tidbits of information help all of us.

What the buyer needs to know

Likely when you shop sites such as Etsy and eBay, sellers have to offset free shipping offers by raising the price of the items they sell. In other words, they include the price of shipping in the price of the item. So, shipping isn't really free.

What the seller needs to know

Shipping is different prices for different locations you ship to. So, if you don't add enough to your item to cover full shipping fees for your "free shipping" offers, you'll wind up losing money. AND places like eBay and Etsy get more fees for each sale, because you have increased the selling price to cover the shipping, which means you lose more money again.

What is the solution?

Buyers, buy from whomever you want to, whether it's "free" shipping or paid shipping. Shipping isn't free to the sellers, so they have to charge something for the shipping fees they have to pay. 

Sellers, I recommend offering free shipping on your higher priced items, because you won't lose as much money that way regardless of the price of shipping and additional Etsy fees. And let customers pay for shipping on your lower priced items. I generally offer the lowest shipping prices available to help my customers save money. However, you can also offer customers a range of shipping prices so they can choose how much they want to pay and how fast or slow they want to get their items. I also encourage people to contact me before they buy multiple items from my store so I can combine items into one listing, and they can get more discounted shipping prices. 

And by the way, I don't create a new listing on Etsy when I combine item prices and shipping, because that will cost an additional .20 cents. Instead, I use one of the listings of one of the items and change the title, price, and shipping to reflect the combo that the customer is buying. And Etsy still gets the fees for the total price of the combo sale. : )

Trade Secrets for Online Selling

I have been selling online since July, 2007. Since then, I've learned how to improve my SEO by using better keywords and to use as much space as I'm allowed for my titles by implementing those keywords effectively. Besides keywords, a seller has to know what buyers want to buy in handmade, digital designs, and vintage finds. It's rough! And after the online platforms get their fees, I make anywhere from $4 to $10 profit per item depending on what I'm selling. 

I have read about people who make $100,000 + annually selling online. I haven't experienced that yet, but I remain hopeful. : ) 

For the most part, my son and I like bringing our designs, finished products, and/or vintage finds to these platforms for reasonable prices, not big profits.  Besides selling our items for reasonable prices, we also offer great customer support. The bottom line is we enjoy making the people who buy from us happy. So, don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions for Cosmic Digital/SouthernAppalachianVintage or Digital Potpourri/Happy Home Creations.

I hope you'll visit this site frequently as I share not only the items we sell but some of the trade secrets about selling (and buying) on popular sites like Etsy and eBay.

About Digital Potpourri Digital Products

I'm very excited to be selling selling t-shirts, coloring books, and soon many more digital products such as mugs, personal development eBooks for adults and children, and blankets for example. Because I love to design, selling digital products has always been a dream of mine. And thanks to Canva, Payhip, Printify, Blogger, and Etsy, my dreams are coming into fruition. 

I was very excited when I announced coloring books for sale on this site at the beginning of 2025. Now, just a couple of months later, I'm happy to announce my first t-shirts for sale in my Etsy store. Keep an eye out for all the newest print-on-demand products that I'll be offering frequently.

It is important for me to inform you that since each item is made specifically for you upon ordering, I'm not able to offer refunds or exchanges on these digital items. However, I’ll be very happy to work with you on custom designs and provide mock-ups for your approval before you purchase. If you receive a product with any defects, please do send me a message along with a photo of the defect(s), and I’ll have a replacement of the same design, size, and color sent to you.

Feel free to contact me from this site as well if you need additional help.
