Soup for EVERYONE! - Etsy Shop Update and news!

Hello friends!

Well what fun is amazing stuff if you don't share? How about soup for EVERYONE?! Did you LOVE Gail's bead soup? Me too, so I made more for the masses. Here is a look at Gail's set if you missed out.

 

So what did I make for everyone else? Have a looksy!

 

Ancient Tablet "Medusa"- Remember these style focals I made awhile back? They were all gone and with making Gail's set I just had to make another :D So much to see on this baby I couldn't capture all of it's magic in a bagillion photos. I guess you'll just have to see for yourself ;)

 

"Desert Serpent" style lentils. Yummy! Don't you just love that chemical reaction dark outlining and webbed effect on ivory with bright BOLD rainbowy raku?!

 

"Love's Midnight Rainbows" a brand NEW style set of glass headpins including a heart focal headpin on thick steel wire! This baby is pretty challenging to make so I don't know how many more of these I will make.

 

"Desert Sand"- a wonderful earthy and organic sampling of ivory, silver and black!

 

"Painted Desert" glass toggle. OMG, isn't it SOOO amazing?! I absolutely LOVE it. This one is larger than Gail's with a little bit different of a design. 

So where are those spacers? Well funny story.. I was so inspired by the beads I created a bracelet and needed ONE more spacer. I stole it from the set so I need to make one to replace it before listing. So don't worry your pretty head, I will be getting some in the shop soon ;)

IN OTHER NEWS....

I don't know if you read about Andrew Thornton looking for 12 designers for the Allegory Gallery Design Team, but I GOT ACCEPTED to be a designer! I am so honored and excited to be a part of the team. So stay tuned for more on that. I will be excited to share my creations!

Well it's about lunch time so I am off to feed that rumbly in my tumbly!

Have a wonderful day!

What would you like to see on sale?

Hello friends!

First off I am SUPER excited that I got my blog fixed. I couldn't tell you all about it because it wouldn't post my text. So I found out somehow my template was set to put white text on a white background. Well that would explain it huh?! So anyways, crisis averted after giving up, sleeping and coming back to it this morning.

Can you believe it's November 16th ALREADY? I was out in public(which I am not as frequently since I work at home and the hubby is out with the car at school and work) and I was like Christmas music, already? Then it dawned on me that yes, it was an appropriate time for Christmas music! HOLY CRAP! How did the season sneak up so quickly?! I mean I have been working at things as fast as I can trying to get them out for the holidays, but DANG! 

It has been super crazy around here with Autumn giving us a brief "hello" before winter comes around.  Infact with all of the craziness of the holiday season going on, we have decided not to exchange gifts this year with friends or family. It's a good thing too because the second I cross off something on my to-do list a new thing jumps on that is due right before the holidays! Eep!

So you may wonder why we have not gotten to the title of the blog yet, right? Well here we go... so while thinking about the craziness of "black" friday and "cyber" monday I got to thinking about what kind of sales I should be doing this season. I have lots of ideas, but my real answer should come from the people that are shopping.

So what do you guys want to see on sale? Would you rather see a percentage off? A sale on things like earrings one week and lampwork beads the next?  or different sales for each week leading up to the holiday? Like would you like to see a special sale from black friday through cyber monday? Then a different sale each week up to the holiday? I would love to hear your thoughts :)

I have already planned on doing free shipping from black friday through Christmas, but wanted to get some sales going on along with it. Thanks to Etsy on Sale we sellers on Etsy can now easily schedule a sale in our shop without having to offer our sales by refunding the discount to you through paypal! Horay Etsy on Sale creators! :D

Well I should be on my way. Only an hour of daylight left and lots of things to do!

See you soon!

Much love,

Genea
