    Maybe you should try to lower the prices on your items. Another thing I would add is key words and a banner. For example your tea light holders, you can use them as candle holders too.

    For Antique coat hook change and add the word "vintage" on the title. As the key words for the doorknob add words like "vintage", "wood", "coat hook", "coat rack", "wall hook", "closet hook", "furniture", "bathroom hook", "large".

    Add a better description of your items. Lets take the coat hook again. You can write from what wood is it from, the size of the item (inches and cm), for what you can use the item for, what year is it from, is there anything on the back of the item.

    You need to get more people interested in your shop so try to promote your shop anywhere you can.

    I also noticed that you opened your shop only this week. I think you will be able to sell some of your things soon.

    Hi - I would remark as follows:)

    Antique Coat Hook - I would perhaps 'stencil' something above the knobs perhaps something like 'coats' ,scarves' or whatever just to give it a bit of something extra which will make it more appealing to the eye.

    Tea Light Holders - not sure if this is a good idea for candles - wouldn't the wood burn when candles are lit?

    Birdhouse - I quite like this and think what you've used to make it is great and would look quite at home in anyone's garden.

    Desk Lamp - Great idea and very unusual and love your rustic stained glass wood bird house.

    I think they should all sell well if you do something similar suggested above for your 'coat hook' as the wood does look a little bland above the knobs. Not so sure about your tea light holders - obviously if they were safe then they will be ok:)

    I would also think about your prices in comparison with other similar items :)

    Anyway, hope I have helped :)

    Your items are fun and unique!

    I am not familiar with the guidlines on Etsy... but your use of the word "glued" may be causing people to hesitate.

    Also, instead of "slavaged", vintage and antique sound much more appealing.

    Hang in there, the economy is tough... do not give up... and keep creating! You have a talent!
