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!
