Last Sunday I had my first Christmas jewelry sale. I sold one of my three stranded beaded necklace, bracelet and earrings set. My friend was so impressed with the look of the set that she asked me if I would bring down the rest of my jewelry so she make take a look at them and possibly do another sale. It’s a real good thing that I finally learned how to make earrings because apparently people want to buy earrings when they buy any one of my sets. So this Sunday I will be taking all my jewelry to work for my co-worker to take a look at and hopefully I’ll be able to report back next week that I have made many more sales.

When I started making handcrafted jewelry I kind of stuck to the same kind of jewelry. I have made a lot of necklaces and bracelets, but have decided that I really need to add to my inventory that I have for sale. So I’m going to branch out into the jewelry world. I’m going to try to make body jewelry and earrings. While trying to sell my jewelry I have had a lot of people ask for these other items and when I tell them I haven’t mastered this art yet, I see a look of disappointment. So I’m going to see if I can’t learn how to make these types of jewelry and then maybe I’ll start selling more.

I’ve been doing a lot of jewelry making these past couple of weeks. Not a lot of selling mind you, just a lot of making. So I’ve come to a couple of decisions. I’m going to try to sell my crafts directly to interested parties. I am going to take down my crafting website and I am also going to take down my etsy account when it finally expires. I have found that these two methods don’t benefit me in the least when trying to sell my crafts.
So within the next few days I will be making a few changes to all my blogs as far as the way that I list my jewelry that is for sale. But before I will be able to find the time to do all this re-arranging, I thought I would give you all a peek at some of the items that I do have for sale.
The necklaces are all $12.00 and the bracelets are all $7.00. The shipping is included in these prices for all of Canada and the US. If you don’t live in either of these countries and would like to make a purchase, just let me know and I’m sure we can work something out. If you would like to make a purchase you can contact me directly at kdarrell21(at)hotmail(dot)com. I look forward to hearing from you. And… I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

One of my friends sent me an e-mail the other day about a lady who was getting rid of some of her scrapbooking supplies and she wanted to know if I would be interested in getting them from her for free. Of course I said yes. So she gave me her phone number and e-mail address and I contacted this lady.Â
Well today she dropped by with the stuff and I have to tell you that I was surprised at all the stuff that she was giving away. Now don’t get me wrong, I appreciated all that she gave and it will all go to good use, but I was really surprised at her generosity. I have to say that purchasing this amount of supplies would have cost me a fortune so I am extremely grateful to her. I am also extremely grateful to my friend for hooking me up with this lady.

Over the past week, I have been making a lot of homemade jewelry. Last weekend I went to our local craft store and bought a ton of beads and supplies so I could get back to making jewelry. So for the past few days that’s pretty much all I have been doing. When I started posting on different forums that I have homemade jewelry for sale, some fellow bloggers suggested that I check out Etsy.com to see about setting up a shop to sell my jewelry. So for the past couple of days I have been looking into getting my own Etsy shop and I took the plunge and set one up. Right now I have five items up for sale, and if they sell, I will then advertise more. The fees associated with this site are quite reasonable, so I decided to give them a try for a little while. If this works out, then you will be able to see a lot more of the jewelry listed on this site.
So, please take the time to stop by my site and see what I have been up to lately.
