Wordless Wednesday

Time to Get Away!

I will be off for a few days....Hubby and I are taking weekend getaway! I always feel guilty taking time off from my ceramic jewelry - but I think it will be worth it :P



See you back here Tuesday!

Wordless Wednesday

International Seller!

One of the most fascinating parts, to me, of selling ceramic beads and ceramic jewelry online is when an order comes in from - well, anywhere that is not in the USA. Don't get me wrong - I love seeing my pieces go all over the United States too....But what a rush it is to know that my goodies are going to far away lands...and I don't even have a passport!

International order make up a significant percentage of my sales and I am most grateful! However, I do find myself often pondering how to advertise or target international buyers. I believe there is a market out there - but how do I reach them?

Do you sell worldwide? If so, do you do any targeted marketing? Can you offer me and my readers any pointers?

I look forward to hearing from you - as these items head for Norway!

Muddy Monday

Oh my, it's Monday once again. Yes - it happens every 7 days or so.... I find now that I am working at what I love, I no longer get the Monday blahs! And that's a good thing!

Having taken the plunge into making my ceramic jewelry my "full-time" job, I am realizing how scary that is. I want to thank my wonderful husband for his support.

I am also lucky to have a whole team of support people, in the form of the Etsy Mud Team. This group of ceramic artists and potters have helped me grow in ways that I never imagined. So - I am kicking of my "Muddy Monday" series with a huge shout out to my dearest mud peeps! THANK YOU! Below is a great treasury featuring only a portion of these great artists!

I said Good-bye - But now I say HELLO!

Life is a road that is full of twists and turns - and ups and downs. Hopefully this next section of road is a BIG up!

I am taking the plunge to become a full-time ceramic jewelry artist! You will see *new* jewelry - and MORE. Expect lots of experimenting!

I hope you'll join me on this great adventure - and send positive vibes my way! I look forward to sharing my progress and things I learn along the way.

Here's how you can find me!

Happy Friday!
