Noir Arts & Oddities

This is absolutely one of the saddest things I've read today. Where are we!?!? This has got to be a movie

I feel the same! I found that it didn't apply in every situation. Especially in regards to work. I felt it only made matter worse and I felt stupid for "letting them" for too long which created uncomfortable situations, leaving me stressed all over again. Thanks for your article. I feel validated

Sssoooooo true!

I need this book so badly right now, as an American, I need to escape reality for a bit. Which says a lot about my country that I have to read about a creepy murderer to lighten the load. 😳😬😵‍💫😔

Photo of baby with the infamous murder bottle. This style of bottle was popular in the early 20th century, it used a rubber hose to get the milk from the vessel to the baby. The hoses proved impossible to sterilize leading to infections that killed many infants

It's official..I've deleted my accounts on #meta social platforms. Li'l scary from the biz perspective but also felt empowering. 💪 While I try to sell off my remaining stuff I'll post here and maybe do wkly email 4 new adds.
Should I maybe do TikToc? Pls share any stories if you're on there.

Whadda woman! Thank you @therealelvira.bsky.social

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

Oh cool, they're demonizing ADHD medication. Cool cool cool.

Medication has been an absolute game-changer for me, and the suggestion that a change in diet will "fix" my neurodivergent brain is both insulting and dangerous. Absolutely disgusting.

Thanks so much! It's been a journey for sure. My favorite part about Noir was my awesome customers. ❤️

Pretty much my favorite Poe-try🐦‍⬛⚰️🪦

Don't buy from the big guys, shop small today!!

Treat yourself & help a small business, please go buy some weird stuff!!
You never regret what antique you bought, you only regret the ones you didn't buy.

We small business owners need some love too 😁😉

A few examples of a series of vintage photos of "BTS of a traveling circus" circa 1920s or 1930s. These were taken by a local newspaper photographer in Kansas. They will be in my eBay shop starting Sunday.

For now, details are on those "other" SM platforms owned by the selfish #techbro w/ curly hair 🤓

Noir’s Facebook and Instagram pages will be shut down on March 1st, 2025.
Etsy Parlor open temporarily while I liquidate remaining vtg inventory. I have a lot of inventory to list, discounted to move

💯 I saw a big turn during COVID, online suddenly exploded. Now, quick search for 'Selling on Etsy' via YouTube will show 100s of 'get-rich-quick' videos or promoting apps you need to subscribe to help you make $$$$. So scammy. Especially in the Etsy, wasn't for sellers with 100s of crap Temu or AI😩

The landscape of online selling has shifted dramatically, rising fees, ever-changing algorithms, & the relentless push for profit by large tech & SM companies have harshly impacted many other small biz. Navigating these changes has been mentally & financially draining, I'm totally disillusioned

After nearly a decade of pouring my heart and creativity into Noir Arts & Oddities, I’ve made the difficult decision to step back from the business—laying Noir to rest. A decision that comes after much thought, reflection, and the weight of the changing eCommerce landscape. I'm absolutely gutted⬇️

Lots of changes & emotions over this last week. But it's time, it's probably over due. RIP Noir 💀 Online selling has become exhausting & unsustainable. My Etsy Parlor will stay open until all is sold—discounts + offers welcome. Updates via email & Bluesky 🖤 www.noirartsandoddities.com

Since real life in the US is a nightmarish horror movie, last night we opted for something different. Watched Y2K, it was totally dorky but so much fun. I laughed lots, which is sumthing I hadn't done in weeks, the 90s nostalgia was spot on. If you need a break from reality it fits the bill.

I've got to be better about the engagement. SM since COVID and now the toxic insanity happening in the US, I've had to disengage for my mental health. So far here it's been pleasantly surprising. People actually interact, are helpful instead of critical, less of a competitive attitude. 🙏

Thanks! I just learned I can use AI to help me generate my alt text. I'll be using it to help me and hopefully going forward all my images will have alt text.🫶

Needed to see this put and amazing video this am. 🐬🥰

I finally got my data from Meta! Let the Exodus begin! Now to figure out this platform for my dark little biz. Fellow small biz owners, any tips?
Hashtags useful? Are there groups to rebuild a following?
How do you find your customers?
Not expecting sales now but once those egg prices go down 😆
