I feel so special, which has been happening oftener. (not a word, but it's my blog)
I realisted these today. I posted them in one of the gazillion forum threads about newly listed items.

Another seller saw my earrings and proceeded to heart almost every pair of earrings, a bracelet, and a wristlet, in my shop. She, at least I'm assuming the seller is a she because most Etsy sellers are, also hearted my shop. I was so tickled by this that I laughed. You really never know what'll happen on Etsy. Guess that's why I love it so much.

I had been venting the other day on here, about Etsy and life. I didn't realize that I got two comments on that post. This is what one of the them said:

Oh! Don't despair! I go through the same thing with my shops! I go through weeks where there is NOTHING and then I will get a few sales. I think your macrame earrings are really cool looking. I will do a post on them and try and get you some more traffic!!

And today she did:




Those are the Original Tangent in Chocolate Brown Earrings. You can read what she said by clicking here.

Re:

Well I heard back from one of the blogs. It was actually a possible consignment but the girl that runs the shoppe also runs a blog and I found out about the shoppe from the blog and...Well, she said no. She liked my earrings but the jewelry section of her shoppe was too loaded and she needed to fill out the other sections. *sigh*

At least I got a response. And she was very nice about it. I don't know why I always think people will write back in all CAPS and say, "YOUR STUFF SUCKS!" or something like that. Part of my pessimistic realist. I'd rather be surprised than disappointed.

Anyway, Mom bought a pair of Leaflets. She's from that flower child era. She understands macrame. I'm not sure how much of a market there is for it to be honest. But I'm no good at traditional beading. I have no patience for it.

Maybe metal. Or maybe I should just keep going. I do get hearts. But macrame isn't big now. *sigh*

I finished the royal blue Tangent Reduxes. No pic yet. I'm not going to let this get me down because I do have some things to mail. Which feels good.

New blog

Stop screaming...it's not my blog. Wish it was, the idea is great. It's sort of a new way to feature sellers...and a reason to chat it up in Etsy forums.

It is April...yes?

That picture was taken today. Grr! I want it to be spring...warmer than 30 degrees. Silly Connecticut weather.

So my ad went live on Anything Indie. Look on the right-hand side. It's the LP by rJax one. I'm rather pleased with myself. Though I hope I get a sale to recoup the cost of setting it up.

I think I may have bite the bullet and use my computer money to buy some sterling silver and a jeweler's saw and the other things to make these earrings that I've had an idea for for months. I almost can't stand it.

I did get a sale today. It was a PIF ($.20) and I haven't gotten paid for it, so I'm not really counting it yet. I'm hoping this month will be different and I'll get more than that sale. If not, I may have to quit. Get a real job and go to school and figure out something else. Get famous some other way, then they'll be sorry.

I have sent emails to other blogs. Haven't heard anything back from them yet in the way of 'yea' or 'nay'.

Tomorrow, which comes in 55 minutes, I'd like to finish the brown Curvatures and the royal blue Tangent Reduxes. I'm not sure what color bead to use with the royal blue, though. Red seems like a cop-out. But none of the other colors match.

Oh well, goodnight for now.
