Meet Jester!

This is my latest one-of-a-kind piece called Jester! It's made with all vintage beads and pieces including vintage Millefiori red glass beads, marigold glass beads, green glass button and a micro mosaic clip on earring and a cloisonne egg. Amelia thought it looked like a Jester and I agree :)

Have a great week!

Sad days at Etsy

Etsy has been having major problems with items getting exposure on the first pages of each category. This has caused a massive slow down in sales for many sellers on Etsy. I have applied at other venues and will let you know when those are up and running. In the meantime, until Etsy is better, I will be listing a sale... referred to as The Starving Artist Sale daily in this blog. I'll post a picture of the item that is on sale for the day and then it's up for grabs.

Today's special will be for Ripened Pods. These are marked $17 on Etsy... you can have them for $13.60 (20% off). Just mention this special in the comments to seller section during checkout and I'll send you a revised invoice with the discount.

Thanks for all of the support from my wonderful repeat customers. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for all of you.

With love and hope for a better Etsy tomorrow....

Nature Love Bracelet

I'm in love with this bracelet!! It's one of those that almost didn't make Etsy. I may have to make one for myself! :) In honor of Robin's eggs, flowers and tree bark... the Nature Love Bracelet.

Progression

take a look at these! The first photo is from my first sale on Etsy. I scanned it into my computer and that's it. That was in May of 2006. The second photo is from May of 2008. I was just struck by the changes to my photos. I'm in the process of trying to change the style of them and had a giggle looking at the progression.

So much to be grateful for...

I'm going to remember that I have so much to be grateful for today. As I'm doing the laundry, I will be grateful that I have clothes to wash... as I'm doing the dishes, I will be grateful that I have food to eat... as I'm walking to church, I will be grateful that I live in such a great community... most of all, I am grateful to family and friends. Here's a photo of my mom, sister, Amelia, my niece Lindsey and me... I am so grateful :) (it's the only photo that I found of all of us.. it's from Chicago.. I need to take more photos!... I sure am grateful that I have a camera ;) )

I'm thinking about the Holidays!

Never before... I mean NEVER have I thought about the holidays this early. I cannot even believe that it's happening to me! I used to joke on my sister about even thinking about it this early. I think it comes from having my store on Etsy during the holidays last year. I learned it's really never to early to prepare. I have so many ideas going on in my head this year... I'll be making the big announcements on 10/1 in the monthly newsletter. Hopefully I can pull it off and get these thoughts into action!

Just wanted to post a quick hello to my faithful blog reader :) HI!! and to ask you all to have a wonderful weekend!

I'll leave you with this photo of Amelia and the goat. We were at her

farm camp looking at the precious baby goats through the fence... when all of a sudden they just squeezed through and started standing on us, sitting on our laps and just running around. They were the most adorable things in the world!! I want one now. There's my husband Phil getting walked all over too!
