My new supplies arrived and so completes my first etsy purchase experience.  Overall everything went well.  Although, some of the items are much smaller than I expected, but I still love everything!
Here are some things I made last week....more to come!

favorite things

Shopping for supplies is my favorite part about making jewelry.  I could go from shop to shop all day long, spending hundreds & hundreds of dollars.  Actually, the best part is getting home and going through every item, organizing, pricing, laying it all out.
Unfortunatley, Charlotte only has a few bead stores that are worth a damn, and they are extremely overpriced and bead shows only come around every few months.

I've been a huge fan of etsy since I discovered it a few years ago.  I created a "store" and listed my items but didn't have the time to dedicate myself 100%.  Even though I don't sell on etsy anymore, I check it out a few times a day...it's an addiction.  Last Thursday I made my first purchase!!  I found a great vendor that sells chain, beads, findings, etc for next to nothing.  36ft of chain for $4.99.  Yes please!  I hit the etsy jackpot and cannot wait for my items to deliver. 

So long bead shops, I'm buying on etsy from here on out.  While the experience is a bit different, the savings are worth it!  Will my treasures arrive today?!!??!!?

my fingers hurt

I think I made 30 new pieces this weekend, and man my fingers hurt.  Working with such tiny beads had my hands cramped and I pricked myself nearly 100 times.  But as they say, no pain no gain right?
Here are some new things.  Remember, all of these items are for sale, just send me an email and we can figure out payment/shipping.

I love a dainty necklace.

This is probably my favorite stone ever.  Going to be hard to let go of this gem.

creativity comes and goes

For me creativity comes in spurts, but when it hits, I'll make 50 peices in 2 days.  SO GET READY!
After a few months of not feeling very inspired, the juices were flowing yesterday.  I refreshed my supplies and was ready to get to work!  It was a beautiful day so I opened the double doors to my screen porch and let the cool breeze blow in.  Here's a sneak peek...





My first bracelet.  I'm in love with it.
