it's been a good summer when..., new listing, August Top Droppers, September sale

You know that it's been a good summer when it's time to order more jewelry boxes!

That was the very end of my current stash on Monday night. :) (I've since ordered more.)  Thank you so much to everyone who has made that happen!

I listed a new button bracelet tonight: Button Bracelet - Summer.

This is one of the very first pieces that I shot in the light box.  I was still adjusting the angles and light settings a little, but overall I'm pretty pleased with it.  These button bracelets have done well on Etsy so I plan to keep listing them.  As always, I'm open to custom requests and suggestions for future color combinations.

The start of a new month means that it's time to acknowledge my Top Droppers again.  I really appreciate all of your support, especially those of you who take the time to comment regularly.  Here are the Top 10 for August.  Those of you who also have Etsy shops are encouraged to leave a comment with an item from your shop that you'd like me to feature here in the near future.

The start of a new month also means that I have a new sale on Etsy.  This month, my 6 fall designs are all 15% off.  You can view the sale section here.  I'm planning to remake my fall leafy earring design and list them before the end of the month for the sale as well.

I forgot to mention in my last post that my in-laws got me a set of jewelry boxes from ULINE for Christmas! I am so excited to have them for packaging my items now.

I put together another treasury today. This one featured work from fellow EBW members. I ended up missing the Treasury West opening, though. :( I was really bummed. At least it's saved so I can try for another spot over the break.

I joined craftster.org and mycraft.com this week. Craftster is a cool site, although it is incredibly slow. Mycraft is still pretty small and not particularly well laid out. I don't plan to use either one as regularly as the sites that I already use, but I am desperate for any extra exposure that I can get for my shop. If any of you are on either of these sites, please let me know.

Today's new listing:
