italian job



As well as recently choosing the country for our summer holiday destination this year, I now have another reason to love Italy.

One of my Iona tunic dresses (here and here) is currently on its way over there after a lady found my website by searching Google for 'Irish linen dresses' and this blog post popped up.


She asked about alternative Irish linens and after a few suggestions, this one was chosen, which is quite possibly my favourite. I just love the purpley/beige colours; subtle, muted, earthy and precisely how I like it.



It just goes to show the importance of a title and wording of your post, especially in that opening paragraph. There is lots of advice out there about keeping SEO operating to maximum efficiency for online shops and this order reinforced the advice tenfold for me. But I've naively never really played the SEO game before .. is it something you ever think about?

Today I'm going to do a mini blitz on the garden where the interminable rain has strengthened those pesky weeds. Then I shall head off to the Model's sports day, which hopefully won't get rained off. Unlike the Boy's, whose school had four attempts before theirs finally happened! What are you up to?

  1. Result! Well done....never really thought about seo optimisation, but then I've nothing to sell! So glad the fair went well too.

    Mist, mizzle, rain here in PZ, the Mount is hidden from view. It's gloomy!

  2. Weyhey, well done! I had to look up what SEO meant so you can be sure I have no clue.

    I am attacking the jungle of my garden ready for a new shed to go in. I need to find the old one first.

    Good luck with the garden!

  6. Beautiful dress Kate, good old Irish Linen, what can I say!!! ;)
    I know Etsy always stress the impotance of your item title and the first line of description, just shows how it can work for you.
    Good luck with the weather, just as well sports day isn't here that's all I can say and we have Her Majesty visiting too!!!

  9. How exciting to think your beautiful dress will be worn under an Italian sky :D

    I am guilty of knowing all about SEO but mostly ignoring it. Like Sue, I'd rather have fun with my titles. Might be different if I had something to sell directly though.

    Hope the day stayed dry x

There's nothing like a comment to stop me feeling like I'm talking to myself. If you leave one here I'll pop one back here too, so don't forget to come back and continue the conversation ..
