Christmas shopping with me

Here are a few recent pictures of people doing their Christmas shopping with me right after Thanksgiving.  The first one is at a lunch with some old family friends.  Two of their girls and one of their friends were looking through my boxes.  I really do keep my jewelry stored in those little Tupperware containers.  It works wonderfully.  I apologize for the blurriness.

At my co-workers' insistence, I brought my jewelry in this week.  It was fun doing a set up without any booth restrictions (or a booth fee).

I wanted to get a shot that showed more of the table and the counter at the same time but the white walls washed everything out.  The set up worked pretty well, though.  I didn't have a ton of people come into my room to check it out, but half of the people who did come in bought from me.

Believe it or not, those 7 leafy bracelets on the white jewelry display are all that I have in stock right now for my leafy series.  I'm so happy that it's continued to do so well.  Now I just need to keep making more.  My button magnet stash is pretty depleted, too.  So many projects and not enough time.

wedding, repeat customer

Jake and I took a short road trip this weekend for one of my good college friend's wedding.  We drove 13 hours (not counting the in town traveling) in 3 days, but it was worth it.  In addition to the wedding, we got to visit with other friends and family along the way, most of whom we don't see very often.

During the trip, I sold half a dozen bracelets to a friend who did a large portion of her Christmas shopping with me last year, too.  Four of the bracelets are pieces that I've made in the last few months, including my newest silver links ocean piece that I hadn't listed on Etsy yet.  I actually hadn't even edited the pictures of it!  Here's a newly edited picture for you.

 

This is the third version of this design that I've sold so I will be making more of these in the future.  I have a few ideas for link bracelets in other color combinations, too.  As always, I'm open to your suggestions, too.

I hope that this week gets off to a good start for everyone!
