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!

Something New from Smu

Here are a few photos of some new work I hope to list soon on Etsy. The blue cylindrical stones in the necklace are peruvian opal--the aqua hue combined with inclusions of creamy white remind me of a frothing sea :) The silver seahorse charm set on the wearer's right is accented with one of my own handmade lampwork beads of aqua dots on a black background.
This barette will be the first listing in my brand-new accessories section and is adorned with small seashells from a recent trip to the Outer Banks of NC.

Let me know what you think of my latest creations!

Treasury Love! Winter on the Beach

I was very excited to see my seashell hoop earrings included in this gorgeous beach-themed treasury, titled "Winter on the Beach", curated by mistgrove. Hooray for treasury love!
