Amour millésimé

Here is my vintage collection so far. Thought I'd share it here since this blog is about jewelry.





My cameo ring that I wear all the time.



Cats Eye Ring









I adore these earrings. The lighting doesn't do them justice. I wear these quite often as well.



This my latest find. Beautiful Black/mother of pearl cameo earring and ring set.



Cute vintage summer ring.

This weeks updates ....

A few new rings going up on etsy tonight ... a small glimpse.

A glimpse of what's coming ....

I'll be updating my shop with a few new pieces sometime before the day is over. Here are a couple of photos of the items that will be up for grab.





I haven't had a whole lot of time to work on new pieces but I hope to slowly start adding pretty spring/summer pieces to etsy.

Sale update

I sold 16 pieces of jewelry this weekend. Some were pieces I had listed on etsy, some were new pieces I made this weekend. Here are a few things that I sold.



I made this piece yesterday. I loved how this one came out and I want to make more to sell. Copper looks so pretty with shades of green and blue.



Another view of the bracelet









I think I will be gaining more clients for this because everyone I sell to has about 10 more people who want jewelry, so hopefully this will become a lucrative side business for me.

Feeling creative

Although I should sleep since I really haven't in the past 35 hours, I want to create something. I'm not sure what yet. I have a few ideas of things to make but lack the supplies. Maybe tomorrow after meeting with a few clients I can run to Micheals or Hobby Lobby and pick up what I need. It's not jewelry. I feel like painting and being creative that way. I design gothy style wooden boxes for jewelry, perfumes etc. I made one to store my growing collection of Bpal. Perhaps I will fix it up (because it's gone though some rough times) and post a photo of it here. Maybe I can add that to etsy. Would be a nice place to store small items.

I think I will have to take a small nap before trying to do anything creative. Lack of sleep is making me feel sick.

Until later ....

Comments

I've noticed I haven't been receiving comments through my email account. I only notice them when I visit my own blog. So if I haven't responded to you, that's why. I'm not quite sure how to comment back. I mean I do, but I'm not sure you guys are receiving my replies. Let me know if you are because I'm still getting the feel for blogger. Perhaps a setting is off or I really don't get this. I'll figure it out later, but help me out if you can.

Past pieces I've made

Well the photos I'm about to post are a few of the items I have sold or kept for myself. Some of them (such as the ring) I've made several just like it because it seemed everyone wanted one.

These are actually mine. I made them as a present to myself for my birthday last year.

This is actually the only piece going on etsy later today.

This is a necklace I experimented with. It is made with carnelian beads, rootbeer color glass chips and gold chinese seed beads. It came out lovely and I wear a lot of this color so I kept it for myself.

I tend to make a lot of rings. People seem to not be able to get enough of them. I made 6 of these exact rings. Some in silver some in gold. I kept the last one, but I will be making more in the near future.

How it looks on my hand. Very bling bling!

This is a lovely small necklace I just made. I haven't decided if I like it enough to keep or if I should sell it. :)

Another look at the pendant.

I've finally decided to do something with the blog's look. I found a really pretty template and I also had a really hard time making it work on here. I had to fiddle with it a bit to get it to work. Also I have a mailing list for anyone out there that would like to be up to date on what's going on over at my shop. Also any news about sales, new designs etc. It's free to join and I won't spam you senseless with updates, either.

Sales

I've been wanting to do an etsy/blog update but to be honest the new stuff I made was sold faster then I could even take photos of them. It's ok since I made over $100 in sales in two days. I'm commissioned to do more stuff, so I guess any free time I have will be designing these new pieces which of course I can't post on etsy. I will however try to take photos of them, so I can at least share here. All of them are rings. I have been handing out cards and getting new clients as well. If I have any free time tomorrow (which is highly doubtful) I want to try to make it out to some bead shops to see what I can find for these new rings I need to make. If I can't find anything, there is always the internet but I'd much rather find them at the shops so I can know exactly what I'm buying.

This is my update for now. I need someone to model my jewelry, since no one here can take a photo to save their life. I can't model my own stuff AND take photos.
