Etsy Tutorials

Well, I am just pleased as pie about a new team that I'm co-founding with one of the loveliest Etsians around, Miss Laurel of LaValleyGirly.etsy.com. If you haven't seen her work before, you simply must stop on in' her Shop.

Sooo... I am going to be posting some tutorials about how to get started on Etsy, how to set-up your shop, success tips I've learned along the way and much much more. I hope you all will be able to learn from my mistakes. :)

Stay tuned, the first should be up in just a bit!

Did you know, at 4:40 in the morning...

... the moon is still high in the sky?

Unfortunately, I happen to know this because that is the ungodly hour I woke up this morning to make it to work on time. Luckily for me, going in to work so early gives me plenty of time during the afternoon to get sneak some jewelry time in.

Today I was thrilled to find a most delectable package of gems waiting for me in the mail...

Here are those lovelies...

These are just so fabulously gem-my! Mystic-Pink Amethysts have been heat treated to create extraordinary colors and beautiful moonstone briolettes flashing blue at every turn...
I simply cannot wait to put these into something fabulous..

Even the weather cooperated today.. Not swelteringly hot as it has been in the last few days, but finally, sunny and bright with a cool breeze to rush through your hair.. perfection.

Truly, I must have done something outstanding to deserve such a perfect day. To my delight, the article I submitted to the Home Jewelry Business Success Tips website. Run by the knowledgeable and talented Rena Klingenberg, it is the place to go for jewelry business advice. For all you aspiring Jewelry Artist Etsians, here's my article on How to Get Your Jewelry Seen on Etsy.

How does one end

such a pleasant day?

Perhaps with a delicious dinner...

Sweet dreams!
