Possible Front Page???

Sometimes treasuries just come together in all the right ways!

This is my new one (just went up tonight) and it features Fall leaves in all their spectacular glory.

The photography for these pieces is especially stunning and really helped me to pick out these items.

As usual, I started in the last pages of my search--rather than using the first few pages--I go right to the last ones.

Why?

Because these pieces were listed first and sometimes have been there for months--I want to shine a light on them.

I found talented people with exceptional pieces and the treasury to your left is the result.

I'm really hoping that this one makes the front page. If they are looking for great pics to put up there, these sellers got it goin' on!

To see this treasury in action (it's live until Thurs. the 15th): http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=87568

Enjoy, thanks for looking and as always...

Until next time...

New, New, NEW!

I've been listing lots of new stuff today and will be adding even more over the next day or two.

http://thegoblet.etsy.com

Be on the lookout for the Fall/Halloween items as well as my Pink for a Cure section! 10% of all sales in the Pink for a Cure section will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation during the month of October.

Thanks for looking!!!


Until next time...

Just finished updating Facebook...

Just a quickie post to let you guys know that I've just updated my "New from TheGoblet" album on my Facebook Jewelry page. (see right hand column for preview and link)


This has lots of new pieces that I created that I was finally able to get photographed.

They will soon be listed on Etsy for sale, but I like to put a preview of them up on Facebook first.

Hope you like them and again, most will be up for sale within a day or so.

Thanks for looking!!!






Until next time...

October Breast Cancer Fundraiser

Hey all,

For the month of October, 10% of all sales of items in my "Pink for a Cure" section of my shop will go to the Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer.

As someone who has had family and friends touched by this illness, I wanted to help in a different way than just my normal direct contribution to the foundation.

And while I applaud the pink ribbon campaign and all it's done for the cause...pink is good for more than just ribbons!

So please, come and see my Pink for a Cure items. Pick up a gift for a friend or for yourself and do something good in the process!!!

PS. Be sure to check out my new Fall/Halloween section too! :)



Until next time...

Another day another "Less Than 10 Sales" Treasury

I'm on a kick lately to promote shops who, like myself have less than 10 sales.

This one to the left, while expired now, has some wonderful sellers involved. If you click on the pic, you should be able to see their names so that you can look them up on Etsy.

If you'd like to see my current "Less Than 10" Treasury, please click here: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list_west.php?room_id=69859

It is available until Wed. morning so there is plenty of time to discover the undiscovered.

And yes, it's a whole different crop of sellers.

I'm already working on "Less Than 10 Part Three" so stay tuned!

Until next time...

10 Sales or Less!

I currently have a treasury up featuring sellers who have 10 sales or less in their shops...

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=84331

I've also made sure to keep it Fall/Halloween themed!

Please go check them out--some very talented people there and why they only have a few sales is frankly, quite a mystery.

Thanks!!!

Until next time...

Crafts Fair Hangover

Hey all,

So yesterday I did my first crafts fair in 10 years. While I didn't sell as much as I wanted to (but then, who does?) I did sell a bit more than I thought I would.

I did work very hard to get this one off the ground...and learned many lessons that will help me with future fairs:

1) Doing over 24 hrs. of beading work in three straight days only gives you headaches and makes your eyes go loopy.

2) Going into beads stores with a game-plan is always a good idea...but keep in mind that you will spend at least $50-100 more than you planned at each one. (it's called 'feeding the addiction')

3) Good for you or not, caffeine is just the most wonderful stuff on Earth.

4) Unless you enjoy resembling a pretzel, get up at least once and hour and walk around while creating your pieces. (and keep a heating pad handy!)

5) Having the support of friends and family is just above all, the best thing ever!!!


Now, having learned all of this, I am now ready to go forth and prosper (geek test) and find other shows to sell my pieces. Getting one step closer to making this a full-time job...


...although, I am all for hitting the lottery at ANY moment!


Until next time...
