The outcome....

Well, unfortunately, the show was part of a farmers market that was very poorly attended. If 25 people came thru in 3 hours I would be surprised. I sold 1, yes I said 1, pair of earrings. The upside, I learned how to set up my sun canopy, and I didn't have to pay for my space. Several other vendors commented on how beautiful my work was and to not give up, which I wouldn't do over one show, and made some suggestions as to other venues to go into. All of the vendors were disappointed in the turno… Continue

EXCLUSIVE NEW CREATIONS LISTED ~ CHECK THEM OUT AND COMMENT ... PLEASE!

I listed some new jewelry sets on my Ruby Lane shop and have posted them on Jewelry Designer Network as well as Hands-on Heaven. Although I'm trying to maintain a variety of designs, sometimes it's hard when you have 220 jewelry sets listed in your shop! I know some people who have well over that many in their shops, but they also have been designing and creating jewelry for many more years than I. So please look over my jewelry and comment - good or bad - on what you think of them. I would very… Continue

Hello!

Hi everyone, I'm excited about this Jewelry Designer Network. It is hard to promote your business when you don't have a steady income. Hooking up on this network with other designers is just another way to get your name out there, and that excites me. I've been running through our website over the past week or so (www.theperfectloop.com) and updating the items we have in stock. Then I want to re-photograph some items. I've recently discovered a tool called an image map that allows me to put in… Continue

I have been a busy lady.....

So sorry to all of you for not posting a blog to let you all know how my show went... Well I have to report that the weather was not agreeable and therefore my show was not a big success. I did make some money, but if the weather was nicer I would have done much better. I did however get a bunch of custom orders! (Which is why I haven't posted this blog earlier, I have been filling these) If you are planning on doing your first show at a flea market or craft fair you need to know this..... 1.… Continue
