Here is a blog post from November that I just now discovered. I am so honored that they featured my green onyx necklace! The blog is called The Chic Classmate and they have some really great articles on fashion. Check them out. :)


 

I'm loving Bloglovin

It's the best way I have found to keep up with all of the blogs I love. And there is an iPhone app, so you can read blogs on the go. This is so much easier than all of the bookmarks I used to keep.

2012 goals

In order to hold myself accountable, I'm keeping a record of my 2012 business goals.

1. Blog at least 2 times a week (so far so good!)
2. Learn more about the wholesaling process.
3. Look into a business coach that can give advice on growing the business.
4. Stay on top of local show schedules.
5. Receive over 300 sales at the Etsy shop (at 191 now!)
6. Start a monthly eNewsletter (already have people signed up to receive it!)
7. Get over 200 Facebook fans (at 122 now!) and also be more active on FB page without be annoying to people.
8. Take a new jewelry making class.
9. Develop an insert about my work to go along with all Etsy sales. (This should help to build brand equity.)
10. Have lots of fun making pretty jewelry! :)

Quick Trip to the Strip

Strolling through the new hotels in Vegas is definitely a must do on your sightseeing list. The decadent details are a treat for your eyes. Here are a few snapshots from the Aria hotel shopping mall and The Cosmopolitan.

Please note the lovely hot pink agates set in the stairs! How I wanted to make them all into necklaces!

Happy 2012

Happy New Year to all! I'm excited for what this next year will hold. I'm currently working on designs for two sets of bridesmaid earrings as well as some new items for the Etsy shop.

Stay tuned for some of my 2012 business goals.
