New Website and Bead Previews May 25-26th 2012

Hope everyone is having a nice Spring and looking forward to summer. I haven't had a lot of new groundbreaking beads to share, but I have been keeping busy working on a new website! I will always list on Etsy and Ebay, but sometimes I feel that when you get a lot of items in your shop, it gets harder for customers to find what they need. I wanted to create something that was well organized and easy to shop by color, size, price or anything.

So without further adieu, here it is

I'm still working on adding new items. I have a lot to add and will probably always have new things. Let me know what you think :)

I also have some bead previews to share with you. I will be listing them Friday and Saturday, but if you see something you like, feel free to comment for 15% the retail price.

 

These beads will be listed on May 25 2012

If you see something you like in this picture and jump on it before I list it, I will give you an additional 15% off. First person to post a comment here can buy the item with the 15% off, but it must be BEFORE I list it.

Decompressing after Spring Syracuse Innovative Beads Expo

I've been back from the Syracuse Innovative Beads Expo, for almost two weeks now, but I needed some time to unpack, decompress and sort through my oodles and oodles of leftover beads. But, here I am!

So how did the show go? It went smoothly and I made enough money to give it another try, but it was a little slower than I was expecting. I did get to meet a lot of bead people both buyers and sellers. I even got to meet one of my customers that had purchased from my Etsy shop several times. That was pretty neat for me.

This was my second show, so I feel like I was able to refine my table design quite a bit. I was very happy with it.

It will always be a work in process I'm sure, but I think it matches my scrollwork beads very nicely. I really like the modern clean look.

Here's a couple more closeups

 

As always, if anyone has any suggestions for improvement, feel free to comment. I'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes to shows.

And then when all is said and done, I have tons of inventory to list online, so everyone look out for it! I'm posting new beads almost daily. Help me find my desk under all these beads!
