Here Goes Nothin'
I've been making these frames as gifts for some of my friends' children. I made one and took it to a baby shower a few weeks ago and got a lot of interest from others. A few people asked if I take orders to which I responded, "Sure!" So the next week I made my first sale! Woohoo! I've been thinking for months now that I should try to sell them for a little income. So, what do you think? And what would you be willing to pay? Answer honestly...and feel free to be anonymous :)

I love mine! I currently have Isabelle's ultrasound picture in it until we get a more 'up-to-date' shot when she arrives. :)
Are you going to sell them on Etsy.com? They are really SO cute!
They are awesome, so adorable!!! I feel sure they would go for $20. I can just see them at Tiny Town. I would pay $20. Go to some baby boutiques. You go, Robyn. Gran
I LOVE THEM!!! and i would definitely pay for one...i mean, i have paid for similar ones and i think that yours are even more adorable!!
I think they are great! You are so talented!
Robyn, they are SO SO precious!!! Good for you and your new business venture! I don't know about pricing...clueless, but I do know that they are super cute and should sell like hotcakes! :)
Robyn- those are adorable!! I definitely think you should sell them!
Very cute- I'm so impressed! Isn't it nice to have a creative outlet? I especially love the Kaitlyn one- pretty colors.
How do you people do that? Where does creativity come from? I don't believe I have an ounce of it in me. Love the picture frames! They are precious & props to you for making them and selling them. I bet they are a hit!
Wow, Robyn. Make some different designs and colors and go to some boutiques around town. They're adorable. I don't shop much so have no idea of a price.

Sooo cute!! I would definitely buy them! I think the etsy.com thing is a great idea! That's such a fun website, but word of mouth will probably be your best bet! Yay for you!
if your buyers are a little more upscale, i'm sure they could wing $20. if they're not, i think you'd sell a few more if you went in the $12-$15 range.
they look great. for a special gift, i wouldn't have too much of a problem paying say $25 for two nice frames. but not $40. there's my anonymous :) input....since i see that almost everyone else didn't give their price suggestion :)
Hey Rob,
those are absolutely adorable! Totally sell-worthy and I would LOVE to buy one- or a dozen. I would price them around $15- $20 at first to sell some, then build up a few more designs to sell for around $20. I think etsy is a wonderful place to sell them and you could definitley get a good start there. Let me know if you do that and I'll be happy to advertise for you on my bloggy blog!
You are super talented!
so cute!!!

hey robyn! first of all, i am so glad i found you on here and maybe i can keep up better! second of all, taylor is precious! she is just soooo cute! lastly, i think you should sale those. they are really cute and def worth it. i have been thinking about selling some of my artwork and i asked someone about pricing and they figure up how much you spend to purchase the supplies for one of them then add labor cost then add what you want to make off of it...so maybe that will help! they are super cute and i think you can sell tons of them!
love ya

Rob! I LOVE them!!! I want to start ordering them from to give to my friends up here (and a few for myself, of course- I don't think any of my children's rooms would be complete without a one-of-a-kind Robyn original!!!) Around Atlanta, they would probably sell for $30 or so, so down there maybe $20-$25. How cute!!! I can't wait to share them with everyone up here!
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the suggestions. I actually started an etsy account months ago and never did anything with it. Looks like it's time to get the ball rolling! Thanks again for the encouragement.

You are welcome! Gran

sorry that I forgot to get back with you. Our dining room color is a Martha color. It is called "Book Cloth Brown"

hey robyn! love, love these...i'm always looking for something unique to give as gifts and i would definitely buy these! start selling, girl - you will be successful!! :) anne
robyn, these are really cute!!! They would sell but don't cut yourself short. I would at least do 100% markup to cover time.
