<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">It's Springtime and the wedding, graduation and prom season is in full swing. Today I am sharing in this post some of the accessories that are available in by <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/DesignedByAudrey?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop. I have been very busy filling orders from brides, grooms, students and their parents from all over the world. I am starting off with <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/211537183/scrabble-tile-cufflinks-pair-initial?ref=shop_home_active_13" target="_blank">Scrabble Tile Cufflinks</a> which are a big hit with the guys. These fun cufflinks are made to order in a choice of two letters and a silver or gold base. A set of six pairs were recently made for a groom in the UK and a set of 16 were made for a groom in the US. </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">The rich tones of dark blue is a perfect color choice for any formal occasion. Dark blue is also one of the color cufflinks sort out by many of my grooms for themselves and to be presented as gifts to their groomsmen to accessorize their suits. Dark blue is also a favorite with young men attending prom. This season my 18x13mm oval <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/188774331/midnight-sea-lapis-lazuli-cufflinks-deep?ref=shop_home_active_9" target="_blank">lapis lazuli cufflinks</a> accented in gold or silver is the blue stone most chosen.

The Lemonade Yellow Pearl Cufflinks and Tie Clip is similar to a set I made for my Father for Christmas. After I made them, I liked them so much that I made a pair that will eventually make its home with one of my many awesome customers. These beefy soft yellow pearl cabochons are 16mm round and showcased in a cufflink and tie clip gold bezel setting. </span></div>

I ordered golden champagne pearl cabochons but somehow received a few of these soft yellow pearl cabochons in various sizes instead. As I make all kinds of stone, pearl and glass cufflinks for my male </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">customers, I really didn't know what I would do with these yellows cabochons. At first I was really disappointed because I really wanted the golden champagne pearls which is a favorite of my customers. However, when I got into the Christmas spirit and started making gifts for my family and friends, I wound up making lemonade out of this lemon of a purchase. </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">I made a similar yellow pearl cufflinks and tie clip set for my Dad as one of his Christmas gifts. When my Dad goes to church, he gets really dressed up and I thought that this yellow set would add a little sunshine to one of his navy blue suits. I can't wait to present them to him. </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

<span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now, that I am rested and
refreshed from the brisk holiday sales season and all of the holiday cheer, I’m taking time to give thanks
and to reflect b<span style="font-size: large;">ack </span>on 2012 and to take a look ahead to 2013. Wow, what a great year
full of blessings 2012 has been for Designed by Audrey. Several <span style="font-size: large;">very</span> important milestones were reached <span style="font-size: large;">in 2012</span>. I absolutely love making jewelry, but it is a
part time venture because I work full time during the day. So, it’s a delicate
balance in the evening between making time for family, my music ministry, my jewelry
making and me. So, I’m busy, busy, busy most of the time. Currently, I sell my handmade jewelry online via <a href="http://designedbyaudrey.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>, <a href="http://www.designedbyaudrey.artfire.com/">A<span style="font-size: large;">r</span>tfire</a> and <a href="http://www.zibbet.com/DesignedbyAudrey">Zibbet</a> and I am pleased to announce that in December
I launched my own personal website <a href="http://designed-by-audrey.com/">Designed-By-Audrey.com</a>. With my laptop on, my Samsung tablet
tuned into YouTube web design how-to videos, one call to the web hosting
company, and after six hours, I took th<span style="font-size: large;">e <span style="font-size: large;">plunge<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></span> Now <span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Designed-By-Audrey.com</span>
</span>is a work in progress, however, the plan is to have the e-commerce section of my website fully operational to
sell my jewelry by the end of February 2013.
For now, I’m letting the world know that I am here and what I do. At present on Designed-By-Audrey.com, I have
a few pieces of jewelry featured with a link to my Etsy shop for purchases. I am also featuring a Youtube video of my men's line and an all things handmade promotion blog where I showcase various Artfire collections and Etsy treasuries. I’m excited to see
what 2013 has in store for my website. So stop by and share a link or two!</span></span></span><br />

as shared in a previous post, I reached a 200 sale milestone on Etsy and even more awesome, by the
end of December I reached yet another milestone of 300 sales! With almost 400
items listed on Etsy, I am looking forward to continued growth and success. </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is all so wonderful because after my
first year of selling, I decided not to do any local vending events though most
of my sales for the year came through these types of events. It was just too much. I found that I enjoyed just being home on the weekend spending time with my family and relaxing a little in between creating new things.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Well, the summer season is off to a bang and I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day. My family remembered and celebrated the life of my cousin Charles who gave his life in the Korean War. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The school year is just about over and we are setting our sights on summertime activities and vacations. During my upcoming vacation I plan to take a day and do some much needed organizing. I have commandeered my dining room and my family have been really good sports about the mess. But all of that is about to change with the purchase of a small cabinet that will house all the clutter. This new cabinet will house my shipping supplies, pliers and other special tools I use to create my handmade jewelry and accessories.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I also plan to do some gardening. I love to fill my many planters and the flower beds around my home with loads of colorful annuals. I love to work with orange and yellow marigolds, vincas, begonias, salvia - red and purple, black-eyed Susans, coleus, zennias, geraniums, gerbera daisies, and corn flowers to name a few.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The rest of the time I plan to spend at the pool, entertaining and visiting with family and friends and, of course, feeding my need to bead!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a sampling of the new items I created this week: </span></span></div>

I am very excited to announce that this month Designed by Audrey
has reached another milestone on Etsy -- 200 Sales! I am happy to say that I currently have an inventory
of over 350 items for sale on Etsy and I also sell my handmade jewelry and accessories in
two other online venues – Artfire and Zibbet. As I work full time days, this milestone is a great return and such a reward for doing something I really enjoy! Yes, I enjoy making jewelry and I love, love, love working with natural stone best.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As I have shared previously, I initially gave the handmade jewelry I made away as gifts to my family, friends and co-workers. Additionally, I gave jewelry away to get feedback on material and wearability. The items given away, for the most part, were earrings and bracelets. Then, as I started making necklace and earring sets for myself that were custom matched to my outfits, I would get lots of compliments! With joy, I would proclaim, "I made it myself!" Most often I was asked, if I sell my work and if I had pictures of my work. So, I quickly figured out that I needed a place where I could easily showcase my work and Etsy fit the bill. So, I began to post my handmade items on Etsy. I tell you the truth, my first pictures were absolutely awful, but they were the best I could muster at the time. However, within two weeks, I had my very first sale online -- despite the pictures. Now I know that pictures are <u>paramount</u>, but when my first customers received their order, they were very pleased and surprised at just how pretty the jewelry actually was. Those early pictures keep me humble as there are still a few of them here and there in my current listings. I still struggle with the picture taking, but I am improving. </span></span></span><br />

mouth, at craft shows and vending events. However with this 200 sale milestone,
my Etsy sales are starting to catch up
with my offline sales. In celebration, I want to first thank God for the ability to make jewelry, for customers and for the many wonderful Artisans I have met and network with on Etsy,
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Wano, Stumbleupon, Blogspot, Artfire, and Zibbet.</span></span></span><br />

It is a great place to make friends while learning how to network and promote online. To be a part of this guild you must have less than 15 sales and be willing to promote each member of the guild online. Active participation is key to being a member and is the key to success in the Guild. Well, I've reached my 15th sales and it is time to move on. I really hate to leave because I have met so many talented and wonderful people who were always friendly and most helpful and willing to answer questions and give tips. I want to say THANK YOU! I would also like to give a special THANK YOU to our fearless leader and Guild Master, Kim of Virgina Beach Quilter who keeps it all together. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> In parting I wanted to go out promoting the members of the Guild so I put this lovely collection together in their honor. The name of the collection is "IT'S THE SHOPS WITH LESS THAN. . . .THAT'S ALL! To learn more about this wonderful Guild check out their blog at: http://shopswithlesssalesartfire.blogspot.com</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

It is God who gives us the ability to gain wealth and the wonderful thing is, he adds no sorrow to it. So many have great wealth, great influence, or a great job, but no lasting peace. So, my first order of business is to give thanks to God through Jesus Christ who gives me the ability to do the things I do. Yes, I create and sell jewelry on the web part time, but my walk with Christ is the center of my life. This is why each day I rise I ask God to bless and establish the good works of my hands and to set my path for the day. I stay grounded in the word daily by reading my Bible. I also listen to and love the DailyAudioBible.com podcast which is an awesome way to go through the Bible yearly -- this starts my third year with them. And of course, there is the Daily Bread which is a wonderful daily devotion! </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> I'm not perfect, but I am seeking the perfect will of God for my life daily. So, I end my first blog of 2011 with thanksgiving in my heart and excitement to see what this year holds!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Designed by Audrey will have a booth on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at the Holiday Food and Fitness Expo which will take place at the Prince Georges County Sports and Learning Complex in Landover, MD from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Up until this event, I have done only outdoor events in a 10 x 10 space with two to three tables and a couple of racks – space to spread out. This time out I will be doing it all on one table. I did a dry run which I will share.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I can't spread out without doubling my expense, I had to come up with a way to expand the display space on the standard 6' table that is being supplied. I normally use risers for height and interest, but this time they will perform double duty. To accomplish this I purchased a plain white 24" x 12" shoe rack that has one shelf. The rack gives me the height and interest I need in the middle of the table and an added bonus of two additional display areas below. With this set up, I am able to beautifully display 30 necklace and earring sets, 75 pairs of earrings, 6 eyeglass holders, 18 bracelet and earring sets, 12 key rings, 16 rings and 6 bookmarks with quite a bit of room left in the front of the table for my business cards and holiday gift idea brochures. I found the shoe rack at Target for less than $10. I purchased a few battery operated lights that swivel that I will use to highlight specific items.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As usual, I will have two TV tables on hand – one for my laptop and paper work and the other to be used to make adjustments to earrings. I sell a lot of earrings at these types of events because I am set up to make earrings on the spot (if it is not too busy) or to change out the ear wire on all of the earrings (except kidney wire) to clip on. And for an additional fee I change out the silver and gold plated metals for silver and gold-filled wire. I keep all other supplies under the table in binds.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">In the pass I missed out on sales because I was not set up to accept credit cards. However, I am all set with my new Propay account and card reader! For vendors who have shops on Etsy, the costs for an account is $29.00 – half the price of the basic account. </span></div>
