I want to say thank you to again to all my customers - you are the best!! Sales have been slow this month, but I know it's just a matter of time until they'll pick up again. I miss collaborating with you on those custom orders - it's so nice to get to know you a little as we collaborate back on forth in creating a customized piece of jewelry!! But, it's tax crunch time so I don't mind at all!! As of today, I have finished doing my taxes, and all I have to do is let them sit a few days before the final proofread and check/double check before I mail them off. I cannot tell you how much I dreaded this year's taxes because of the new IRS rules and 1099-K income reporting. What a nightmare. But it's almost over now. All I have to do is cross my fingers ;-) that they're OK and mail them out.
And thank you, too, my fellow Etsians - you know who you are! Thank you so much for including something from my shop in your stunning treasuries - you honor me! And to show my appreciation, I'm asking everyone who reads this to please check out at least one of these fantastic treasuries and also to please leave a comment that you read about it here on my blog. To see them, just click on any of the links - Beautiful Lampwork Bracelets featuring RoxieMarie by catwands, Easter Bunny Trail by Cindy, Charming Charms by Berry Wings, Look what I found local... by Louise van Terheijden and Easter egg hunt by Ellen Gipson.
OK, now for the feature! I put together some new limited edition Spring themed leather bracelets the other day - 10 in 7" and 14 in 8" because they're the most popular sizes, and they are really so pretty! Each has similar combinations of my new stock of very high quality single core Murano lampwork beads, the new mesh beads that were recently put on the market, Bali silver beads and rhinestone spacers.
They are all gorgeous and lightweight! The mesh beads and leather makes for a nice, light bracelet - great for those of you who are uncomfortable with the heavier snake chains and Bali silver spacers in the warmer weather. I love the new mesh beads - so colorful and they create a nice touch of textural interest to the bracelet, too. They are so much prettier to the eye when you put them on, the photos can only capture so much.
The Easter sale is now over, so it's time for your coupons!! You'll be able to wear any of these from now right on into the fall, just about the time you'll be wanting autumn colors. Right now I am busy placing orders for autumn colored beads as well as new charms for Christmas from Pugster. You might think, so early!!! to think of Fall and Winter when we've just gotten into Spring, but now is the time for me to get the best selection at the best prices. I generally try to work 4-6 months ahead so I can get a good idea of what to make when the time comes.
So if you're looking for something nice to wear until the Fall, here's a LINK to my shop - happy browsing and hopefully (;-))shopping!!
