New Custom Glass Tile Pendants!!

I have been working on some custom bird glass tile pendants and I am now ready to take orders for them. I started out with bird pendants because of my birds but these pendants can be made for any pet. I have three sizes you can get them in. I have 1" square, 1 3/8" square or 1 x 1 7/8" rectangles. You can get just the pendant or have me make a chain to go with it. I have sterling silver chain or silver plated chain. If you are interested in getting a custom pendant, I am going to be selling them in my Artfire Studio. When you get to my studio, go to the gallery tab and you will see the custom glass pendants, click on "request similar item" and that will give you a box to type in your request which will come to me as an email. Then we can work out the details and I can give you a price! Looking forward to making these as well as the other glass tile pendants I have started to make.

Time to Get Into The Holiday Spirit!!

I am in a craft show next weekend, so this weekend I was busy making some last minute items to add to my show. I really was in the holiday mood when I made this batch of earrings. I will be posting them in my Artfire Studio and in my Etsy Store as well. Happy Holiday's everyone!

New Youtube Video!

I have heard that Youtube is a great place to advertise your jewelry so I made a short video about my jewelry today. Let me know what you think.

Are Your Sales Down on Etsy?

I am new to Etsy. It seems like a lot of people are saying their sales are down. Is that true for most people, or only some? What can we do to help each other grow and have our stores seen? I am all for helping each other so what can we do to help each other? I do think featuring each other on our blogs brings attention to what we do. Is anyone interested in maybe starting a feature ring, where we organize a few people who are interested and take turns featuring each other on our blogs? I would be interested. How many people have Facebook Fan Pages? I do get hits off my Facebook Fan Page almost daily so if you dont have a fan page, I would recommend it to help bring traffic into your stores. The showcases on Etsy do seem to help with your views, but spending $7.00 a week to make one or two sales just doesnt seem too cost effective. I would love to hear what others are doing. Lets try to help each other be successful with our stores. I would love to hear your thoughts.
