The lights are up on the front porch, although I wish there were more (more is always better!), the holiday decor is coming up from their corner of the basement and the shopping has begun. A trip to Philly kicked off the season to spend Thanksgiving with family. Although it took me away from my creative place for a few days it did allow me to reconnect and enjoy some stress free time away from daily obligations. Now back at it!
I've been fortunate to have sold several pieces over the last couple of weeks, but that also did remind me that I have a show in a couple of weeks and need to replace them! Up to this point Ive enjoyed casually creating pieces as time and interest allow, but now the clock is ticking! So here are a couple of my newer pieces that I think offer more of a vintage flair than some of the more recent ones made before Oddmall. I'm happy with how they turned out.
I've also been busy with trying to juggle all the online shops and blogs and booths and directories and...and... WHEW! This is still a struggle for me and I realize the only way to successfully manage it all is give up my day job. haha Still a work in progress. One thing I am happy with is the new Facebook Fan Page I created
http://www.facebook.com/pages/JBirds-Garden/303644300593?ref=ts
It's really allowed me to connect with other crafters and artists, I can easily announce upcoming events, post new jewelry and find some amazingly creative people out there! In a short amount of time I have over 300 fans which is very motivating to me.
So part of that motivation is participating in a Handmade Holiday Sale at http://www.thehandmadegiftguide.com/ I have decided to offer free shipping for all items in my Etsy shop through December 19th. I'm looking forward to the promotions and to see who else will be part of this sale.
So back at it. I have a tree to put up, garland gathering for the fireplace, shopping to take care of and a show to prepare for at the Screw Factories Artists' Studio in Lakewood December 19th.
Where are those elves when I need them!?!?!?!?
