Creation of the Day

I've been working hard on my Etsy shop, my pictures are improving and I still have so many items to get on there. It's like a full-time job! Here's a favorite necklace of mine...great everyday necklace, goes with everything!

Exciting News...

Like I said in my previous post, I've met the nicest people on Etsy. This morning I woke up, checked my email and got great news. Tracey Capone Photography is featuring my necklace on her blog as one of her favorite things. I'm so flattered and honored that she picked my necklace to feature. Kudos to Tracey! I had my necklace on the Etsy Jewelry Showcase today and I think as a result of Tracey's posting I sold it! Yah for me! What makes her featuring my necklace on her blog even better is that her family is from the same area where I live...what a small world we live in! Please check out her photography, it's absolutely amazing and beautiful. So I'm partial to flowers, but I think this picture is sooooo beautiful....

Great Finds on Etsy...

I have met some of the nicest people on Etsy. I truly believe they want all of the sellers on there to succeed, I don't feel a sense of competition. I wanted to share with you my latest favorite. I picked ginaminda's fingerless glove for my Treasury on Etsy. After further exploration of her products decided to buy a pair. Unfortunately my skin reacts very poorly to wool. After conversing with her, she was kind enough to offer to custom make a pair out of Bamboo Silk Yarn. Check out her shop, her items are beautiful and well photographed. Aren't they adorable? Can't wait to receive them...I know they will be wonderful!

Treasury List on Etsy

I've been trying for weeks to get a Treasury list on Etsy. I haven't been successful, but today I wasn't even trying to get into the treasury and wouldn't ya know....I stumbled in! I randomly pick green items, specifically looking for bright greens. Here's a picture of it! I'm so excited and hope those that I featured are as well.

Lacey Antiqued Brass and Glass . Necklace

I'm trying to be proactive in promoting my web shop. I've joined Twitter, I'd love it if you followed me: http://twitter.com/dreambelledsgns. In between I've managed to create a new necklace, with the fall coming up, I think of turtle necks. Wouldn't this necklace look awesome with a black t-neck sweater?? Hues of blue, green and gold...combined with antiqued brass chain. Love it...

Design of the Day . Deep Sea Blue Necklace

It's so beautiful outside, temperature is just right in the low 80's, no humidity---which is awesome for my wildly curly hair! I've been working out in the yard, cleaning up the flower beds and just enjoying the last weeks of summer. I had made this necklace last night and decided to call it Deep Sea Blue...it really reminds me of the deep sea. I combined both brass and copper for a cool effect. I'm really enjoying combining metals, I had been afraid to do so in the past. I will be showcasing my necklaces on Etsy next friday...I'm so excited!! Have a great week, let's hope the wonderful weather stays.

Design of the Day...Inspiration

Had some extra time tonight so I made these! Strong but sweet...not to mention sexy! They say that hematite is the healing and grounding stone. It strengthens the body and helps with resistance to life's stresses. The stone inspire inner life and helps to keep inward peace...hence the name Inspiration. Wishing everyone a great weekend and a safe & happy holiday!
