I have been busy making jewelry for my next show next weekend. Trying to build a supply up so I don't have to be frantic before the next show comes along and I can make more beads. I torched for four hours today and it flew by so quick. would have torched longer but my back and neck started bothering me.
I have been trying to absorb as much information as I can from my wonderful Etsy eSMARts team and all the wonderful information that is posted on the site. I have been making up sets of ear rings from leftover beads and attached them to my business card. I now carry them in my purse in a small pouch, and have started handing them out to people who I see regularly as a means (I hope) of drumming up business for me and my website (etsy too).
We have some exciting things coming up in our team, Etsy is putting on a virtual Trunk Show. sounds like it might be fun, and a chance to sell live to customers. that part is a little scary to me, but help has been offered, so we shall see how it all will go.
Also trying to learn about semi precious stones, and have excellent guidance from Lois (realtychick), check her website out at http://www.abeadeda
So I think I have updated you on mostly everything, and I will try not to go so long between blog posts i promise.
Till next time~

The earrings on a business card is awesome! I know I would love it if an artist gave me jewels. ^_^
You sound like you've been busy. I haven't updated my blog in forever either. *looks sheepish* Soon, I will soon! *giggle*

I've been so excited to get our purchase too. It's coming direct from the cutters and should be very interesting to see. Still have a while to wait as the order only just went in.
Thanks so much for such kind words. I've always felt you get back just as much in life as you give and you are a very giving person. Thank you.

Are you giving an entire pair of earrings away? Love that idea of putting them on your cards.
I am almost certain that the idea of the ear rings on a business card came from our team! Yup its an entire set of ear rings.
Kateri email me with your address and I will gladly send you a pair. Of course its to promote my website for now until I can get a shop opened in etsy.
Lois I am so happy that you are willing to take my hand so to speak and guide me in so many different things, that I am happy to tell the world about you and your shop.
I think that our team is the best and most encouraging and has tons of great ideas to share with each other. YAY eSMARts Team!!!!!
I, too, hate to see winter come! I'm a bit warmer here, since I'm a little south of you (Louisville KY) but I always know when Sept arrives, the days are numbered! Hibernation is coming soon.

Your blog is really great. I love to read it, very open and personal. Good luck with those shows and no matter what you have done, you'll always be trying to finish up that "one more thing" the night before a show. We're never satisfied. Teri
