Rings & Things

I can't believe it's been at least a week since I last updated. I've been busy, not just with crafting, but with life things. I'm hoping to add some new items soon, however.

The last thing I posted to my store was this ring, which sold within hours of posting:



It was made with a vintage earring with the back removed. I have one more, and I'm debating on making another one or just keeping it for myself. I love the detail.

New things are in the making, so check back soon!

Garage Sale and other Goodies

I went to a few garage sales this weekend and found a couple of great bargains. I got a $15 Crochet Afghan book for a mere quarter, as well as three other crochet pamphlets. I also got some material that is very pretty. I don't know how to describe it, or I would, and I don't know yet what I'm going to do with it, but I'll figure out something. I got a few more supplies in on Friday that I ordered from other Etsy sellers, so I have things to craft and make and post this weekend. I'm thinking if I was just a little better organized, I'd get so much more accomplished! However, my new angel is nearly ready for show and tell! Yay! More to come, so stay tuned...

Labor Day Weekend Sale

Today until noon Monday, I'm offering FREE SHIPPING on all items in my store (for US shipments only). I've already set the shipping charges to $0.00 so there's no codes to remember and no waiting for an updated invoice. The price for the item is the only price you pay.

Happy Shopping!

New Item

I just made this bracelet last night and posted it this morning. It's made of purple wire & lavender pearlized glass bead chips. You can find out more about it here.

Crafting Goals for September

There was a forum entry on Etsy that related to September goals. Having just started my store about a month ago, I didn't have a list of goals. I just mainly wanted to get the store up and running, with fun items to share with others. Now, that is well underway, and I can think and achieve other goals.

My list for September is as follows:

• make my second sale (and perhaps more!).
• finish my daughter's afghan so I can start on my sister's since both need to be done for Christmas presents.
• add more items to my store, hopefully 4-5 new listings per week.
• create a promotional package.
• start Christmas shopping.
• craft more.
• hand out more business cards, now that I finally have some professionally printed.
