Jewelry Thrills

After the show this past weekend my husbands cousin Martha took some of my jewelry around to showcase and it went awesome! I am excited beyond words that so many people liked my jewelry. It really means so much to me that something I have put so much time and effort in might actually be going well. I just could not wait to see what people had liked and disliked. The only way it could have been better is if I had been there to talk with people as they shopped my jewels. Thanks to all those who bought from me! I appreciate it so much! I will leave you with some pics of Miss Martha modeling my my sterling silver dragonfly necklace. She is such a beautiful, smart and talented young woman. She does the most awesome painting ever. When she gets her website finished I will post for everyone to check out.

An Apple a Day

Here are some neat new locket ideas. Yes I said lockets. I now have apple lockets in three different colors antique copper, brass and silver! These are super modern lockets with neat Czech flowers to add color. I will be selling these for $16.00.

First Jewelry Show

This last weekend was our first jewelry show. It was a very beautiful day for an outside event. My sister-n-law (BethTramelDesigns) and I worked as a team called 2 Hip Chicks. We had a really good day but it was pretty windy though. We were running after earrings all day seems like. We worked really hard to get ready for the show and I am very proud we did. Here is a few pictures of our booth. I would have liked to get one of us together with the booth but I didn't have anyone to take the picture:( And yes that is all of our junk in the back ground. We realized this after the picture.

Elegent Branches

Here are some neat new pieces. Both antiqued silver branches with a little charm added to them. One is a bracelet with beautiful crackle beads and the other is cascading earrings accented by a small cream pearl.

Digital Press

Here is some examples of an awesome etsy seller. She makes business cards, stickers and lots of other things! She is very patient and easy to work with. I really enjoyed our transaction! Check her out at www.digitalpress.etsy.com

This is only a peek at her work that I gathered off her site. She does custom business cards that she will have printed for you. I don't know about you but I don't want the headache of trying to find a place to print them myself.

Nashville Womens Show

So as you probably read in my last post my sis-n-law and I took a trip to Nashville Friday to the Nashville Women's Show. The plan was to meet Kate Gosselin and get our books signed but things didn't go as planned. We did get to see her and hear her answer questions but there were a ton of people their very eager to meet her as well. She was not signing books at that location either. Well at least got to see her in person and we were able to snap a few pics of her from afar. She was awesome! We had a fun filled day of shopping round and learning about new things. We also had to make a stop at the Hobby Lobby in Summit...Surprise Surprise. We are getting geared up for the craft fair at the end of April. This is our first time selling locally at a show so we are excited and nervous. I really hope it is fun and opens new doors for us as jewelry artists.





Here are the best pics we could get of Kate. She looked so awesome. Someone asked her what her fav store was and she replied Ann Taylor Loft.







































Bethany & I decided to have our locks lengthened. What do you think? Well we didn't actually buy them but we thought it would be fun to have our picture made anyway. I have never seen Bethany with long hair. We had a blast!

Hannah Rhea

Earlier this week my friend Krissa asked me to take Hannah's picture for Easter. We decided to do something real simple with Hannah wearing a new dress from etsy.com. I think they turned out pretty cute. Here is a peek at some of my favs.
























































What a Beautiful little girl! Tomorrow my sister-n-law (Bethany Tramel Designs)and I will be traveling to Nashville to see Mrs.Kate Gosslelin. We hope to get to actually meet her. Wish us luck!
