A change in plans....

I've been doing this blog for about a month now and have figured out that as much as I love making jewelry it is a small part of my life and there isn't enough to blog about on a regular basis.
So, this is going to be about everything and anything in my life including ETSY and my jewelry. I hope you enjoy it even more!
This blogging thing is pretty fun!!

Take care and visit often!
Celia

Tip of the day, week, month or whenever I get around to putting up a new one........

New tip....
A great way to keep your jewelry from tarnishing is available on QVC.com. They have a lot of different organizers to store your jewelry but my favorite is the PreZerve fashion jewelry organizer. One of my very good friends bought me one of these last year and I love it! It has about 30 compartments and has a special material that keeps your sterling silver from tarnishing.
My mom has a great way of storing her bracelets and necklaces. She put a cork board up on her bedroom wall and hangs her jewelry on that with tacks. Everything hangs nice with out getting tangeled and it's easy to choose what to wear because it's all right there! Another great storage device for bracelets is a coffee mug holder that stands on a table and has little poles sticking out to hang a mug on. You could probably get one cheap at the salvation army store.

random thoughts

Who knew there was so much networking to do on the internet???? Well probably a lot of people. Not me though, I've been spending so much time finding out about feed, widgets, blidgets, links, referrals, other blogs, mom blogs, rating blogs and so on and so on. This is exausting! All I wanted to do was make some jewelry and get what I put into it back so I could make some more. How naive.

I went to a home jewelry show a few years ago and loved the stuff and bought some. The one necklace that I REALLY wanted was too expensive so I passed on it. Well, of course I had to obsess about it so I called the local bead store, which I'd never given any thoght to, and yes they carried semi-precious gemstones! OH NO! My addiction began............
Three years later I have more jewelry than I will ever be able to wear (well maybe I could try:) so I think I'll try selling it on eBay. Didn't work. Then I stumble across ETSY by way of Cathy Daileys (see side bar) website. She has gorgeous jewelry that is sooo my style. So I decide to try ETSY, which I think is a great place that not enough people know about. I love being able to help people try to do what they love and possibly make enough to keep doing it. If you haven't ever been to ETSY check it out, they have so many different items. There is a link to ETSY and my site on the top of this page.
So I ponder what to make next.....what is it that other people would love to have??? Maybe I'm in a rut, designing what appeals to me. But that is what I love to make so I guess I will have to just wait for the right people to come along that have the same taste as I do.......
