Listed on Etsy & Sold

I've sold three items this week on Etsy. I was beyond surprise and happy! My first sales! One is going to New York and one is going to California! I was amazed that this time I actually sold something! Let me back up. A year ago, I tried Etsy and failed. Nothing I listed sold, so I dropped the site and focused on eBay. Then, somehow, Etsy beckoned me back, so I re-joined.

These items sold this week on Etsy.


Silver Cross Handmade Earrings.


Turquoise Mother-of-Pearl Handmade Earrings.


Vintage Inspired Red Teardrop Handmade Earrings, Relisted on Etsy.

Now, hopefully, my feedback will be 3 at 100% positive! I'm so excited! I have a huge box full of ready made earrings, but I really want to make more. I have to sell some more before I can buy more materials...that's mine and my Dad's deal. I can do it, I know I can! If y'all want to check out my Etsy shop, here's the link ---> CraftyChic90.

That's it for today. Take care!
With Love,

My Favorite Necklace

"I have a lot of jewelry." My friends would say that is an understatement! But most of my jewelry I made myself. I taught myself at sixteen to make jewelry. Then in '08, I started selling them. They sell pretty good in my small town, so I broadened my horizon by selling online. I use the online selling sites, eBay and Etsy. I do pretty good, if I say so myself. I've wanted to have a blog talking about stuff I sell and things I make, so I decided to create this one for that purpose. I've started taking pictures of the new things I create and this will be a good way to share them, also while streaming with photobucket, perhaps.

At a gathering last year with my best friends, I asked them all to bring pendants to create necklaces. Mine was a turquoise themed necklace, as turquoise is my all-time favorite color. Below is the picture I took of it this year.


I used a metal framed turquoise with brown flowers pendant. The beads are turquoise stones that matches well with the pendant. I used stretchy string, I need to word that one better. I also used silver plated heart clasp for easy ons and offs. This necklace measures around 18" long, which reaches about 6" inches away from neck.

I really love this necklace, as it is my favorite I have ever made. I want to make more like this, but I haven't brought myself to do so. It takes a lot of work and measuring to get it just right. Maybe I will create one in the future.

By the way, the necklace is pictured on a crocheted fan that my grandmother made for me. I thought it blended well with this lovely necklace.

Leave a comment if you have time, I would greatly appreciate it and respond back!
