I made spider rings and spider hair pins and spider necklaces. Looks like they are going to be a huge hit again this year since they are going to be on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens Halloween Edtion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, that's right!!! So excited.</div><div> </div><div>So I've been ordering a bunch of beads lately, in order to remake the ones I already offer and to order a whole new batch of spiders. These ones will be multi-colored and very cool! I am happy to say that the beads have arrived and I will be starting work on the new ones tomorrow!! I know, you're super excited aren't you!!! Me too!</div>The Family Jewelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05916220981167923453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323557441353173052.post-19983054975001440442010-06-05T01:41:00.001-07:002010-06-05T03:56:24.944-07:00New displays for my latest showTonight was the first of 4 Summer Nights Events in Santa Rosa, CA. We were one of the vendors there. We did them last year, but this year, this year they advertised (woohoo!) and they had live music, amazing food and WINE TASTING!!! One thing I have discovered in the few years I've been doing this is that we always do really well when there is wine being served. People loosen up and spend money much more willingly, which is really good when you are trying to sell things!<br /><br /><br /><br />I have some fabulous new products that I've added to my line up and they really deserved some amazing new displays. So hubby and I have been hard at work on them for the last 2 weeks. Check out the outcome below!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoMfHSo2I0NWjZZQC2tAhlAMUBaj0eeDqtdhEYXaW-kYBkRnLNXFrDvw3wsa4OE9d1P4kUKnJ-HfRO708shMvczvhZcgU3zDNSBRkVvGNIGQIwEZoSsXEkaxGtU0id0mKKlD6BQ-u312PD/s1600/SNights+copy.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479208531437292482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoMfHSo2I0NWjZZQC2tAhlAMUBaj0eeDqtdhEYXaW-kYBkRnLNXFrDvw3wsa4OE9d1P4kUKnJ-HfRO708shMvczvhZcgU3zDNSBRkVvGNIGQIwEZoSsXEkaxGtU0id0mKKlD6BQ-u312PD/s400/SNights+copy.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>This display is for my Scrabble Tile Pendants, Glass Tile Pendants and Organza Ribbon Necklaces. We took a pre-cut pegboard from Home Depot, cut it in half and attached 2 hinges in the middle. Then we added about a gajilliion hooks to hang them all from. Customers loved how they were easily browsed!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRySP0adTJiHASDGho_LX1UZmehyphenhyphenSsnfLCr9Fl0ajpcwuYzgg-LMg9gEBD3X23w8q_sJWZWTQQgLzc7hRbS75itPHyZ9BQXxeFVgaSyBfbLDgzXkqJd0Mp3qp502kcaetdzK6odsDDF68d/s1600/60410+016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479208528349480114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRySP0adTJiHASDGho_LX1UZmehyphenhyphenSsnfLCr9Fl0ajpcwuYzgg-LMg9gEBD3X23w8q_sJWZWTQQgLzc7hRbS75itPHyZ9BQXxeFVgaSyBfbLDgzXkqJd0Mp3qp502kcaetdzK6odsDDF68d/s400/60410+016.JPG" /></a><br />This next display was made for my main 3 types of rings that I sell - my Acrylic Bubble Rings, My Gothic Flower Rings and my Butterfly Rings. Interestingly enough, I had my Gothic Flower Rings at these shows last year too, but I had them all lined up in a tray and people would have to pick them up or bend down to look at them. This year, I sold more of them in 3 hours, than I did all summer long last year!! People really like the tall displays where the product is at eye level!</div><div></div><div>With this display, we purchased a pre-cut piece of plywood at Home Depot and had them cut a srip off of one end (so easy), which hubby attached a hinge to and made it like a easel picture frame. He then attached a chain on both the easel back and the main board to prevent it from opening too wide.</div><div></div><div>For the front, we purchased some foam pads (the kind you would use for a chair pad) from JoAnne Fabrics, which I spray painted black on the front and sides and then hot glued it to the plywood. I then used a sharp box-cutter knife to cut slits in for the rings to go into. I am so happy with the results!!!!!<br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfiBd0NSzzCtFZ05STCjBuTUxPjZKNgaNWDoi5bEW5poui0PCFS_52YqiF9FELFjSl2-4Ei-MuN6d8XngsFMkGKDXgBriZLdf2guY_K-sPRn-BSs70W1MbIsX1SHb41PKwSmOlxqRmSLw/s1600/60410+010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 377px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479208514382324674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfiBd0NSzzCtFZ05STCjBuTUxPjZKNgaNWDoi5bEW5poui0PCFS_52YqiF9FELFjSl2-4Ei-MuN6d8XngsFMkGKDXgBriZLdf2guY_K-sPRn-BSs70W1MbIsX1SHb41PKwSmOlxqRmSLw/s400/60410+010.JPG" /></a><br />So, how did it go, you ask?? It went fabulously!!!!!!! It was just like a big street party and it was so exciting!! Half the night we had sooooo many people in our booth and a TON of people took my business cards. I also ended up with a custom order and someone interested in buying wholesale from me!!!!! I can't wait for the rest of the summer, I mean, just wait until July and August!!!<br /></div><div>Did I learn anything? You bet! </div><ul><li>I really need new table coverings. My old ones are old and pretty amatuer. I intend on finding a great deal on some black fabric and making myself some nice tailored ones. You know with sewn corners, nicely fit around each table.</li><li>I need to make more earrings. I've kind of gotten away from earrings, but found that a lot of people gravitated to the few that I did have. </li><li>Make more necklaces. Same reason as above.</li></ul><p>Hope this has helped some for display ideas and if not, well, I enjoyed sharing!! Until next time!!</p><p>Jenifer<br /></p><div></div>The Family Jewelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05916220981167923453noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323557441353173052.post-73555520177706442112010-05-29T00:41:00.000-07:002010-05-29T00:49:06.707-07:00Really?It's been that long since I've posted my juicy little gems of words here?

Fall is my very favorite season. I love everything about it, from the colors, to the chill in the air, to the smells. I even love how it starts getting dark earlier, since I'm such a night person!<br /><br />This treasury is called "Burnt Orange" and it was created by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7654339">SuzyQQuilts</a> , who's shop is full of quilted yummies, including quilts, wall hangings and even totes and reusable sandwich bags!

(Nothing worse than a big yawn!) So, I decided to share something that's different, but still along the spidery lines.<br /><br />I took these picture a couple of nights ago out in our yard. Yep, that's right, I took it!!

It means the start of another week of playing Mom Taxi and getting up early. Even when I worked in an office job, I refused to work on Mondays. Going there was bad enough, but I couldn't even fathom having to do it on a Monday.<br /><br />So.... I thought I would start the week off with a random (but very cool) picture that I found on Flickr. What are these things? So cool!!!<br /><div></div><div></div><div><br />Taken by <a title="Link to diamond geezer's photostream" href="http://www.blogger.com/photos/dgeezer/" rel="dc:creator cc:attributionURL">diamond geezer</a> </div><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dgeezer/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/dgeezer/</a><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 303px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381239199834111906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3YyFkAyTS8iktpK77eCr2jcMHx-S7nFJSz0kSplZzkXu6yDTkiHAmNeoQ_DulL3qr5wu-xRUPPEcokT0W-z0T2y9b_DkXwDNZJStnQlCQx838TBnqX0NFFqbhhs5Ij96nY5qxtIxaMlbX/s400/0914091.jpg" /></div>The Family Jewelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05916220981167923453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323557441353173052.post-69740251404236605502009-08-30T17:23:00.001-07:002009-08-30T17:26:11.358-07:00Some more Etsy Front Pagers!!!!Hooray!!!!

It's a nice little festival atmosphere with a great group of awesome artists (many of them from Etsy as well). This time, at the last moment, daughter and I came up with a fabulous idea for decorating the booth for a little pizazz.<br /><br />We ended up spending hours punching out hundreds of little butterfiles out of scrapbook paper and both of us ended up with aching hands. But I think the result was so pretty!!! What do you think?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE_nJ0wnRMI5E1SOC8pYIFe5u1Julic3WmHYP71yx2yzgIndSl6zA8Jxrs5agbnyDVbPLxvQnScTxy_ZwzCakA55PG6o0bIbW21Pn59vfnnQDa4vthIN5b5wrYmzeihHpRiAya9U9fJGzw/s1600-h/Booth-4.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367497891930063794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE_nJ0wnRMI5E1SOC8pYIFe5u1Julic3WmHYP71yx2yzgIndSl6zA8Jxrs5agbnyDVbPLxvQnScTxy_ZwzCakA55PG6o0bIbW21Pn59vfnnQDa4vthIN5b5wrYmzeihHpRiAya9U9fJGzw/s400/Booth-4.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSW-lA6CVrOTGLPgjLE4EOYGupGLr_Bnw1aUE2w72gScojagBBnz4qkArwvy9D5JXENxmvN4pPOehfU6o-pCyTvgZ0Vhe_WI2sjeKy005bDwq7f8NFluu7bikGKqulMrKS5E23Mj23VH42/s1600-h/Booth-2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367497886208401554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSW-lA6CVrOTGLPgjLE4EOYGupGLr_Bnw1aUE2w72gScojagBBnz4qkArwvy9D5JXENxmvN4pPOehfU6o-pCyTvgZ0Vhe_WI2sjeKy005bDwq7f8NFluu7bikGKqulMrKS5E23Mj23VH42/s400/Booth-2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbSO_GHtJ7yguvnB__qPbsD8n0-XkXKRSz2dtUt3Kqhv3CSOvKFfgFkcv4F0zzdRH_ba-Rhudc5Qhj2RX7EvHK8eeEP7W4-k8GKtk9Gi49jkv8DSgHKFUw9l37sQQDDwr6YpNI5_vpj8Y/s1600-h/Booth-3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367497883030011058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbSO_GHtJ7yguvnB__qPbsD8n0-XkXKRSz2dtUt3Kqhv3CSOvKFfgFkcv4F0zzdRH_ba-Rhudc5Qhj2RX7EvHK8eeEP7W4-k8GKtk9Gi49jkv8DSgHKFUw9l37sQQDDwr6YpNI5_vpj8Y/s400/Booth-3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTG9Fz0qAJrNX_AcwgQ0i3NKl4MNdB0tYQIXTltnd0Os6VTVH51qg-lfgzeb7tX-gqqhYJCqBHkGC4nMGAvzkfWH9v9fcwy0nisgo80mj_D4Zl0Hkf4ExHUSPk1sL6K4bD1N2LEgYE4boU/s1600-h/Booth-5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367497877270965026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTG9Fz0qAJrNX_AcwgQ0i3NKl4MNdB0tYQIXTltnd0Os6VTVH51qg-lfgzeb7tX-gqqhYJCqBHkGC4nMGAvzkfWH9v9fcwy0nisgo80mj_D4Zl0Hkf4ExHUSPk1sL6K4bD1N2LEgYE4boU/s400/Booth-5.jpg" /></a><br />Oh, and hubby and daughter got to enjoy a nice carriage ride as well!

It's pretty simple, but it's sooooooo me! I love, love, love the brass filigree stamping that I purchased and customized a bit, I love the way I ended up hanging the briolettes, as they just didn't look right with a normal old wrap. I love the way it looks on too! Good thing I have supplies to make more of these, as I have claimed this one as mine, and I've made another one for my shop.<br /><br />It's all brass, with faceted grey glass drops and little black Swarovski in the chain to match. Thanks for looking!!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3hNGgVU6-hSjCb6gsEu5RNf1Q8Jh6O0zVlp4_IJWE1EAPlSSv2KDEUMrMBLsNkZEbaEkR54enP8ubtJZ5quHFX93sp__81Qxl7tWaIMDikbZ7KUiL5z2TxxVYJs5bKZ3QMgnaVQHv42j/s1600-h/Countess-2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 367px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358953146321657938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3hNGgVU6-hSjCb6gsEu5RNf1Q8Jh6O0zVlp4_IJWE1EAPlSSv2KDEUMrMBLsNkZEbaEkR54enP8ubtJZ5quHFX93sp__81Qxl7tWaIMDikbZ7KUiL5z2TxxVYJs5bKZ3QMgnaVQHv42j/s400/Countess-2.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxCSzIfiCLlmVWAI9CB3G4pBxTfMioPHnstcD1VNMMboF8tNonGbr8dzMQNLszEDpOOz63LFhXowXsAwKHjyCdwkCbrdil4DqadWTxf06yZxFFoq-mXmL7NR4DkDAxFkCvbVBfrVjMwZs/s1600-h/Countess-1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 347px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358953143300023314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjxCSzIfiCLlmVWAI9CB3G4pBxTfMioPHnstcD1VNMMboF8tNonGbr8dzMQNLszEDpOOz63LFhXowXsAwKHjyCdwkCbrdil4DqadWTxf06yZxFFoq-mXmL7NR4DkDAxFkCvbVBfrVjMwZs/s400/Countess-1.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div>The Family Jewelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05916220981167923453noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323557441353173052.post-71609802597555154572009-07-08T00:10:00.000-07:002009-07-08T00:12:39.030-07:002 Year EtsyversaryYep!
