Hi Luzy,
one thing I noticed on your listing was a lack of "tags".....
you only had like 3 tags at the most to describe your item..one thing I have learned already about etsy is that the more "tags" you can use to describe your product the better, as it increases the views for you.

So with that being said here is a link to someone else that sells the primitive dolls and she has had 300 plus views on her items..I suggest that you include a few more "tags" to your listing and see how it increases the views.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=6196960

Also I have learned that the more times you are able to visit the online chat on etsy..the better, as far as building up your "folks who like my shop" type of views.
Now it is common courtesy on there to visit others shops in the chat room and post an item that you like ..now if you are in the chat room and someone posts an item of yours..you should say thanks and in return post an item of theirs that you like.

When I am in the chat on etsy I try to quickly scan through all of the folks's shops that happen to be in the chat room at that particular time and quickly post an item from their shop..this gets a comraderie going/network going amongst the etsy community..and also increases your views and hopefully will increase your sales as well.

Hope this helps a wee bit.
The absolute best of wishes to you.
..and please do not get discouraged..the sumer months so far have seen a decrease in sales with a few folks on etsy..but they have said that usually starts increasing again in the Fall.

Best of wishes!..and the dolls are darling!

you'll see the "tags" section up under the description of your item...and up above the "materials used" this is what I meant by "tags" key words used to describe your product.

A big way to go girl! And Congratulations to you! My etsy has slowed wayyyy down. It should pick back up soon, I guess summer break keeps everyone busy.

Congratulations, Luzy! I love the Cindy Lu doll. Get ready, you are going to be a busy woman sewing, sewing, sewing.
