The Drama of the Search

So my oldest who you all know will be starting Kindergarten in 12 days to be exact! Not that I’m counting down or anything lol anyways…. I just bought her a pack back for the first time, which was fun. But let me tell you finding one that didn’t have Elmo or Dora (which according to her she’s just too old for) or heaven per bid Hanna Montana, not that Mom has anything against Hanna Montana, I just don’t want my five year old be a walking advertisement for her. Anyways after a very long search we finally came to agree on a pink and purple pokadot one we found. My only regret was that I didn’t check Etsy or Artfire first, to be honest it didn’t even don on me until after the fact. And of course I found some adorable ones BratSacksBaby’s shop. They have a ton to choose from which would be perfect for boys or girls. I only wish I would have thought to look, but such is life.

"How to Approach stores to sell your handmade items" by Enthral

Luckily all my wholesale orders have all been from people approaching me. I have yet to actually approach any store owners or buyers on my own. However I have experience a decline with in the last 6 months and have thought about entertaining the idea. Which brings me to today’s “Tuesdays How To” I am so excited to share this one with you! I found a great one at http://www.enthral-enthral.blogspot.com/ Enthral has 10 great steps for “How to Approach stores to sell your handmade items” I found them to be very helpful and plan on trying the steps out for myself.
For those of you who don’t know Enthral, she is a very talented jewelry artist who sells both on Etsy as well as Artfire, she does some amazing work. I really enjoy her style not to mention she has really great prices! What I love about her style is that she tries to focuses on pairing vintage pieces with new ones to make a one of a kind jewelry piece. Like this Rose and Heart Necklace the heart is new but the rose is Vintage, I think they are so pretty paired togeather. I love anything recycled especially when they end up looking this beautiful!
