It’s been a long while and I really don’t want to jinx it. I had a blast making these beads yesterday.
I am practicing making hollows because my friend in NH…Suzy…really wants to finely learn and make some decent ones. I have had my days in the past when I do them just fine…it might be [...]
thoughts on selling venue’s…what will work for us in todays economy
Posted in Business, Daily Chatter, Etsy, beads, eBay, jewelry, life on September 25, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I have been thinking a lot…watching the news…the economy being so bad I really do feel fortunate each time I sell some of our beads. eBay is a no go at this time, fee’s are to big for us…since we normally would have to repost the item three to four times to sell (years ago [...]

I hate it! why? cuz I am so outta shape…I can’t wait for the day I enjoy stepping on it. For now it’s ten min, twice a day. It’s the best I can do this far out of shape and with this much extra weight on my body. Moving some is better than moving none, [...]

I thought I would elaborate a bit on my subject of yesterday. My feelings toward eBay and its decline for us really do have a lot to do with two things…the economy and eBay’s changes in their policies over the last year or so. When I started selling our handcrafted glass lampwork beads almost eight [...]
The decline of eBay as a selling venue
Posted in Business, Daily Chatter, Etsy, beads, eBay, life on September 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well I took a few weeks break from eBay selling, put five auctions up and sold none of them….not even very many views. The decline of eBay for us as a selling venue over the last year has been steady…we used to sell pretty much everything the first time we posted an item. Over the [...]

With the heat of summer do you find yourself rushing Autumn? Hoping it will arrive and give you the crisp mornings and evenings? I love Autumn…to me it’s such a wonderful season…the color change (we don’t get that much here on the Oregon Coast) We do get some color change thou…mostly from green to golden yellow leaves [...]
September…change in the air

I love September…the change in the air. One of the most beautiful months on the Oregon Coast. We have warm to almost hot sun filled afternoons…sun goes down and the brisk air takes it’s place. The leaves start to turn yellow on certain tree’s and float down onto the highways…the air just seems…fresher…something added that [...]
