Gone Too Long

I know, I know it's been forever since i posted, sorry, but there's been so much going on, went on vacation to the jersey shore, been taking classes on metal smithing which i now love, and fell in walmart and hurt my back and legs(don't worry i'm ok, just on heavy duty prescription aspirin) so i haven't been at the computer much or at least not for to long each time i am.

I've now got 99 fans on my facebook page almost to the big benchmark of 100, and it's exciting cause a bunch of the people i didn't even invite so i guess they count as "real" fans. So when i hit 100 fans i'll have a big sale or free shipping or something just for fans, i've got to plan it still. so please if you haven't already become a fan and/or invite other people you think would be interested. Thanks, must sleep now very late or should i say early, 6 a.m. lol

First Sales!

This past week I've had my first sales on Etsy, no feedback yet but i guess i have to wait a little longer. also i'll be at Second Saturday again on june 12th in front of Cheese Etc. in Collingswood, NJ.

New Listings

I just added a bunch of new listings to my Etsy shop please check them out! Lots of new rings and a couple new necklaces. One necklace in particular which i love is made with all wire and lampwork beads. Hope you like them.

Craft Shows

The shows went okay i sold one piece at the first one and nothing at the second one but a bunch of people took my cards and flyers, my pieces are a little too expensive for craft shows so people just browse, but i'm actually charging less then what i put into each one so i can't go any cheaper. I also noticed a lot of people have gimmicks like just doing earring or making jewelry from buttons etc. so maybe i need to find something i can do thats cheap to make, sell, and will draw people in cause its unusual. I did learn that i need to bring my tools with me cause one piece broke and i couldn't fix it. Oh well, i guess it's better luck next time.

Craft show jitters!

I have my first craft show in two days and i am soo freaking nervous. I am not even fully prepared. Does anyone have any tips on how this stuff works, like set-up, dealing with people and stuff. Anyone who's done this before and might be able to help me?

My Business Name pt.2

My Business Name

Today i'm contemplating changing my business name. Right now my name is Bijouterie but i think its too hard for people to say or remember so i'm trying to come up with a new one. I thought i might take my cats names and mesh them together so the name is more me and not frou frou like Bijouterie. My cats are called Kitty and Tigerlily but Lily for short, so far i've got just TigerLily Designs, LilKitty Designs, LilyKat Designs, or maybe KyLi Designs. Right now i'm stuck on TigerLily but there's already a jewelry co. named that so i can't keep it. Anyways i could use some help here, any ideas?
