Weekly Roundup

This week has been less manic than the last couple thankfully. I did my last craft fair of the season - or so I thought! I've just heard about another one which is free of charge and only open to handmade items on the 10th December so I am planning on taking a table if I'm offered one.

On Etsy I've had a great week. My Red and Gold Christmas Bauble is in the Christmas Ornament Voter and I'm way behind, so if you haven't voted already, I'd really appreciate your vote :)


I've added a new Silver Bubbles Bracelet to my Etsy shop, which I think will be lovely for Christmas.


And finally, I'm offering free worldwide shipping this weekend in my Etsy shop, so if you've had your eye on something, this is the weekend to buy it!

Friday Roundup

This week I woke to 3 sales on Monday morning, which was lovely! I finished my last custom order and I posted my first item to Israel. I decided this week to try and stock up my shop as much as possible as I am going to be extremely busy with the day job over the next few weeks and I doubt if I'll get as much done. I now have over 110 items in stock and have just bought some new pearls in more autumn colours.

This week I listed a few new memory wire bracelets.

This one in Olive and Gold is made from olive glass beads with antiqued gold spacers.



This Amber one is a bit bigger than I usually make. It has 6 coils but it reminds me of tribal bracelets and seems to work well with the extra coil.



I've still been making the pearl Bubbles bracelets though I'm trying to make a few with 2 or more colours now. This Black Cherry Bracelet is a mix of black and dark red pearls.



And finally I used dark purple and bubblegum pink together in this Candy Bubbles Bracelet



I'd really appreciate some feedback on the mixed colours in the Bubbles bracelets and if you have any ideas for autumn/fall mixes I'd love to hear them!

Also, I'm offering free wordlwide shipping this weekend in my Etsy shop.

Friday Roundup

Well the early part of the week was spent recovering from the maddness of being in the Storque Weekend Deals article. I had a total of 22 sales from Friday to Monday morning, loads of shop and item hearts and 2 custom orders. Who says being featured doesn't help sales?

This week I needed to have a bit of a break from all that handwrapping of pearls so I decided to do something with the chain I'd bought a while ago.

The first thing I made was this Pink and Purple Long Necklace I bought the beads when I was in Cornwall and love the vibrancy of them.


I also made this Black, Pewter and Silver Cluster Necklace, which I'm really pleased with.


And finally, of course I couldn't resist another Bubbles bracelet, this one is Pewter and Silver


So all in all a successful and busy week. Looking forward to a break this weekend in Scotland. Oh and I'm offering Free Shipping throughout my Etsy shop this weekend, so if you want a bargain, check it out!

I'm afraid I've been pretty poor on the blogging front this week. I've been finishing 2 orders for Bubbles bracelets and my day job has been getting in the way as well!

The great news is that our camera has arrived, the bad news being I can't actually use it yet as hubbie is having to rebuild the laptop and it will be out of action for at least 5 days. Thankfully I have this work laptop but I'm not able to download pics etc.

I found some gorgeous pomegranate coloured glass beads this week and made a new Bubble Bracelet


I've actually made a pair of earrings to match, but with our computer problems have been unable to list them.

I also made a pair of earrings to match the Silver Bubbles Bracelet in my Etsy shop. These are really cute although the pic leaves a lot to be desired!


And finally, I've decided to have a section in my shop offering free worldwide shipping I'll be rotating items weekly, including my best sellers, so it's worth keeping an eye on this section!
