Making jewelry

I have been making jewelry again lately. I sell my jewelry to the SC State Museum gift shop, to Joyfilled Garden and Gifts in Georgetown, SC, to The Willows in Lexington, SC and I sell quite a lot of it when I'm a vendor at various festivals and bizarres and of course, to friends and family that drop by my house for a peek. So, I've always thought of my jewelry as something that just sells itself.

I thought I would see what would happen if I posted some in my etsy shop. I spent lots of time photographing, editing the pictures and then posting... I'm really curious to see if it will sell. I don't really have much faith in it happening, for some reason... but we will see. I don't really know how to go about photographing it.

I do love the moon!

People are always asking me why I always add a moon charm to the jewelry that I make. Well, I guess I have just always loved the moon for some reason. Maybe it's because the first book I ever had has a picture of the moon on every page. Or maybe it's because my dad has this little tattoo of a half moon on his arm that he said he got while serving in the airforce; of course he thinks it's rediculous now and regrets doing it. This will sound completely sappy, but maybe it's because I think that my husband "hung the moon". Yes, it's true - I am THAT much in love with that boy! Anyway, I guess the moon charm just really represents all of those things.

JEWELRY.....YAY!!!!!

I have been designing and creating unique, one of a kind jewelry for 3 years now. Much to my surprise, I have sold an unimaginable amount of it and have had many people ask me if I have my jewelry posted on my website http://www.sugarcookiedolls.com/ I didn't because I would sell it so fast that it wouldn't have been worth the trouble I would go to - to get it posted. So, I finally decided to take the plunge, and just see what happens. What do I have to lose? Thanks to my hardworking website girl at http://www.pegweb.com/ I finally have added jewelry to my website and am anxious to see what will happen.
