A Small Business Attempt...

A few years ago, I took up jewelry-making as a hobby. I've done a few craft fairs, but mostly just made jewelry for friends & family. Well, I've been thinking of doing this for a long time, and I've finally decided to do it. I've set up a blog for the selling of my jewelry. I haven't decided exactly how I'm going to go about the ordering/buying system, but in a few weeks when I have everything figured out, I will start putting pieces up for sale.I am not taking personal orders...my reasoning: I have the rare & wonderful opportunity to be a stay-at-home-mom. I enjoy making jewelry...but I enjoy spending time with my children more. I want to do jewelry making on my time, at my pace. And I know some people can be very specific about what they want, and I don't want to spend my days online, looking for that exact color, gemsone, etc. Another reason is, as styles change throughout the seasons, so do the beads & pendants...therefore, a lot of my necklaces are a one time offer. I may only be able to get certain beads for so long. So when I post Pictures of my jewelry, I will let you know how many I have available. When they are gone...they are gone. If a certain piece sells well, and the materials are still available to order, I will try to make more. The good thing about this though, is you can wear your jewelry knowing you most likely won't run into someone else with the same exact neclace on!! You'll have a one-of-a-kind piece on! I Very much enjoy making jewelry & making new creations! If anyone has any styles, colors, ideas, etc., that you think would sell well, let me know! I have just a few sneek peek pictures up on this new blog if you would like to check them out....jewelrybyelise.blogspot.com
