Sneak Peek!

I finally got a chance to take photos of some recent creations so I can post new listings in my Etsy shop! Here is a sneak peek for my blog readers at three of my favorites from this recent photo shoot before they hit Etsy. Above is a quartz cyrstal pendant made with a stone purchased at the Raleigh Gem & Mineral show. Next is one of my perennial favorites--a fossilized ammonite. This fossil pendant is on a antiqued copper bail and chain which coordinates wonderfully with the rich earthtones of the ammonite fossil.

Finally, an aqua-blue seaglass pendant with a double-bail on a silver plated chain. Let me know what you think of my new work!

Designer's Jewelry Box

While I rarely set out to make jewelry for myself, occsionally I create pieces that I cannot bear to part with. I thought it would be fun to start sharing photos of my personal collection--let me know what you think! The photo above pictures a fossilized ammonite pendant made from my favorite of the specimens I purchased at the Raleigh Gem & Mineral show at the NC State fairgrounds.

Je Suis Bleu ETT - My Latest Treasury!

It's been quite awhile since I created an Etsy treasury, so this was overdue :) Check out my latest curated collection of items from EtsyTwitter Team shops: Je Suis Bleu ETT

Deal of the Day is Back!

Today's Deal of the Day, just $4 for these "Candy-Apple Red Dangles"!

With the holiday rush finally subsiding (and a baby on the way!) I find that my Etsy shop is suffering from a bit of neglect-->translation: no sales in quite awhile. It has always been my experience that the best way to boost traffic is to list new items. While I have lots of new jewelry ready to list, I need to take photos for those listings. Good photos are always the bottleneck for me in the listing process--hopefully I'll find the time this weekend for a photo shoot :)

To drive a little traffic in the meantime I'm re-introducing my favorite promotion: Deal of the Day! For the rest of January I'll be selecting one item daily as my "Deal of the Day" to mark down 50%. Be sure to check Etsy, Facebook or Twitter to see the daily offering!
