Do you see a trend with the style of beads I have chosen...possibly sleek in mookaite, jasper or obsidian!!

I have not been asked to promote this seller or benefit from posting links to their Etsy store, just sharing the beaded goodness!

Happy beading!

My secret fetish...besides shoes and handbags!


What can I say ...I l♥♥ve cabochons. 

I don't think I have ever seen a cab that I haven't loved...

...ok that probably isn't entirely true as I am not super duper keen on the plastic variety but....there are so many gorgeous cabs on the market in many shapes and forms, colours and sizes and textures.

I thought I'd share my latest Etsy adventure with you.
I can't wait to receive these beauties.

I have another cuff in mind for these gorgeous blue opal cabochons.


These Picasso jasper cabs are going to be perfect for earrings.


Not to mention these gorgeous picture jasper drilled cabs.


And these stunning labradorite cabs are going to be showcased in an extravagant collar piece!


Let me know if you're' interested in the seller's store. 
I am not associated with them in any way...just happy to share some beady cabochon goodness with you all!

Now please excuse me while I go wipe the drool off my chin!

To Etsy or not to Etsy...that is MY question!



So.

I have been visiting Etsy a lot lately.

Not only because I love to $hop but also because I am trying to decide whether I want to dive into the deep end of the pool that is Esty.

Over the past few weeks I have had around 4 people ask me whether I sell my designs.

When I tell them no they look at me like I am some kind of alien and say
''you are crazy...you'd do really well".

So.

It has got me thinking....and thinking...and thinking a wee bit more...until I asked myself this question...

Am I ready to set up an Etsy store and start selling my designs?

My main concern has been that once I start selling I will feel that I have to be making pieces rather than making pieces purely for the enjoyment of beading and creating.

But then one of my crafty friends told me that you can have your pieces listed for a few months and that I could slowly add to the store rather than feeling like I have to be creating new things all the time. Of course one assumes adding new stuff to the store all the time would get customers back but you get my point.

So.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone that has an Esty store.

* Did you find it easy to set up?

* Do you find it time consuming?

* Do you enjoy having a store?

* Can you make up my mind for me in regards to my question I keep asking myself above to prevent me from going over this in my head again.. and again... and again lol...

I'd love to hear from you so please add your 5 cents worth as this isn't something I just want to jump into and regret later on when I have had no sales and feel like a big silly goose!

Thanks.

Tranquil Turquoise


I have decided to join the world of Etsy Treasury.

I have found some lovelies through looking the many Etsy Treasuries people have posted on their blogs Treasuries so I thought I'd create one of my own.

So here is my first Treasury

Tranquil Turquoise


Visit Etsy and click HERE to see my Treasury

In the mean time above is a tiny sneak peek of a few of the 
turquoise treasures I found.

A few might even look a little familiar to you!
