Choices....

A couple pairs of hoops, larger than the ones currently in the shop.

What goes around....

I snagged another treasury this weekend. This time I featured the fantastic talents of the SATeam. Here's a snapshot:






It seems that everything I was working on this week had some sort of circle in it, so with circles on the brain I just went with it. But they're nice circles aren't they?

Was going to post a link but the treasury expires tomorrow. So instead- I'll just post a link to a team search instead! Almost 5000 items of handmade goodness. Nice.

PS- Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mamas out there!

Mother's Day Sale

The Starving Jewelry Artists Street Team is having a Mother's Day sale this weekend on Etsy. This is a wonderfully talented bunch. If you search "sateam" you'll find a plethora of gorgeous goodies for any special woman. Mom, Grandma, Aunts- anyone who is special to you who deserves a special gift for Mother's Day.

Don't wait to the last minute to pick up a gift. That's the Motherly advice that I get- so I'd thought I'd share that!

Sale ends Sunday (4-26-09) at midnight and started a few minutes ago!

Every so often I have some frustrating torch time. Where it seems I melt things constantly. Never wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth- I save it. Afterall- who knows what it could become one fine day! Some of these were supposed to be head pins which ended up too short for what I needed them for. So on a better torch day I balled up the other end too. They happened to be on my bench next to a lonely pair of rectangle hoops that just needed something else before they felt done. You know the feeling right? So they were lovingly wrapped around the hoops to finish up this pair of earrings. I like them but have been undecided about whether they need a patina. Any thoughts or opinions? If so- tweet me. Otherwise, these will be listed on 1000 Markets soon.

BTW- you can find me on twitter @StacieWilliams


edited to add: Thanks for the tweets! They're in the store now

Accepted to a new venue

Last weekend I was accepted into the juried site 1000 Markets. It took a couple of weeks to set it up and to get the nerve to apply- LOL, but I did. I've been doing a happy dance all week working on some pieces to list. Let me tell you a bit about it.....

First- since it's a juried site, the quality is outstanding. The site design is beautiful and user friendly. It uses Amazon payments for processing your orders. Don't we all have an Amazon account already? LOL. I know I did. In addition to the stores, there are markets. A combination of various shops with some sort of theme. Like being in a city and heading to their market to see what their locals have to offer. It's an exciting place to be and an exciting time to be there. Still in "sneak peek" mode. I really love it there and was moved by there beliefs. Check it out & spread the word, it's a great place to shop for quality handmade items.

(The logo isn't a link but there are links in the post- seems I'm forgetting my HTML right now!)

A pair of rustic hoops that will be for sale shortly. Getting ready to launch a hoop-cessories line. Most women I know have their favorite pair of hoop earrings. Hoop-cessories are add ons to hoops to dress them up or add a splash of color. Like changeable little charms for your hoops. Still photographing some items, but they'll be available soon.
