Just in time for the first day of Spring, the Jewelry On Etsy team is having a huge promotion. I will be offering 20% off specially marked pendants in my shop. You can find all the sale items in the "Spring Fling" section of my shop. Prices will be adjusted on Friday.

I am also offering buy one get one 50% off in my accessory shop, Palomina.

DIY Lightbox

My finished lightbox...raggedy looking? Yep. Ghetto? Probably. Does it work? YES.

Recently, I stumbled upon an interesting tutorial for a DIY light tent. It seemed simple enough and the material costs were sooo cheap that I just had to try it. I got so sick of having to rely on a perfect day to take pictures of my pendants and even more tired of having to adjust so much using my photo editing software. I figured it wouldn't hurt to try to build one, especially for rainy days.

I got to work on it, and my hubby helped me out a little as well. Although I made some slight adjustments to my lightbox, I pretty much did what the tutorial said and my box yields some pretty good pictures! It does take some fiddling around with your camera's white balance settings to find what works best for what you're photographing. Best of all, it only took 2 hours to make!

Flowery

New product! These gorgeous 100% silk flower pins are available on my website. Cut, singed, and sewn by hand.

They're the perfect accessory to so many things! Blouses, jackets, purses, canvas totes, scarves, gloves, bookbags, etc. I'm working on hairpins and haircombs as well, which will be a must-have for brides and bridesmaids!

Happy New Year!!

Happy 2009 everyone!!

Yay! I'm super excited to ring in the new year. Out with the old, in with the new. I'm probably going to have a clearance sale soon in my etsy shop of discontinued designs. I will also be introducing many new products and designs in the coming weeks.

:)

I learned a lot in 2008 about e-commerce and what it takes to run a successful business. I've definetely learned (late and the hard way, lol) that I need to utilize the paypal shipping features. So, as part of my new year's resolutions, I will be doing so beginning today.

Wishing you a very happy, healthy, and successful 2009!

Ready for some change...

Golden Flower Field - Earrings, $12.oo

I listed 4 new fashion jewelry pieces in my Etsy shop. I wanted to test the waters and see how they do in there. The fashion jewelry does very well on the website, so I figured I would list some exclusive pieces on Etsy.

Now that the worst of the holiday rush is over, I'm bracing myself for January. We're getting ready to move into a larger home on base. I'll finally have my own office/workspace! Also, I'm working on making new designs to debut in the new year.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe holiday!
