She's Baaaaaaaack!

You may or may not know this, but a couple of years ago, I embarked on quite the crafting adventure. What began as just the desire to make my own earrings turned into a slight obsession. With all these handmade whatnots lying around [that I clearly couldn't make use of in the rest of my lifetime], then came the idea— maybe I could sell this!

That's how yours.truly got it's start. I was able to be a part of a few craft shows and get a nice little revenue from it all. Then I got pregnant [a.k.a. life comes to a crashing hault]. We were thankful for this new blessing in our life, but yours.truly quickly got put on the back burner.

The goods at a local artwalk I participated in a couple of summers ago.

Now, here I am to revive her! In order to justify continuing this little venture, I thought it would be wise to get everything I had made before off my hands and then moving forward with some new creations. This is where you come in :)

I finally put together an etsy shop and am really excited about having this convenient outlet to sell my jewelry. What I have on there now are some fun little "grab bags" of earrings I've made, but will not continue to make [that's right, the last chance, super valuable, "discontinued" kind of stuff]. Once these sell, I hope to post new collections sporadically and keep things fresh. This is also a way to put some self-control in place and not make a million things at once. I'm striving to adapt the make-a-little, sell-a-little, make-a-little-more philosophy [I think I just made that one up].

Some glimpses of the grab bag selections on etsy.

But here I am, getting off topic again. I mentioned earlier about you, oh lovely readers, having a role in this. yours.truly is going to get in on the giveaway action :) The first person to place an order at my etsy shop will receive this lovely yours.truly original in your shipment...

Custom painted blackened bronze wooden bead necklace with jute bow-tie closure.

And just to give you a little more incentive, all funds help put my husband through seminary and feed our almost 8-month-old little boy [yes, I went there] :)

How's that for a guilt trip?

If in your browsing you don't come across anything that fits your style, don't give up on me, Lord willing, there will be more diversity in the future!
