Accepted the the JET (Jewelry on Etsy) Team 8/21/08

Yesterday was a big day for me. I was contacted about being accepted to the JET Team on etsy.com. Kind of a big deal to me because you have to go through an application process and be approved. Only a select few are accepted into the group. Basically the group supports one another by promoting, and sharing good selling tips. I havemn't really gotten a chance to dive in to all the group has to offer but am really looking forward to what will come.

I got an awesome opportunity to create a commisioned piece. A lady contacted me with an idea for a fabulous triple strand turquoise necklace. She wanted graduated sized nuggets on the three strands, a pair of matching earrings, and a bracelet. So excited because she is coming today to pick it up and look at some of my other pieces.

I also got in my fire mountain gems order. As usual my firend Janice and I ordered together to get the great deal on quantity orders. They are such a great company to order from. When opening my last order and item was damaged and when I called to see about getting it replaced they were very accomodating. No questions asked they said they would send me another one and let me keep what was undamamged in the package I has received. Amazing, before when ordering from other companies, I have had big problems with this.

Now that I have my new fall/winter stash in I can really start with my creative process. I have had my spotters out searching for new fall trends and color combos that will be popular. They are so great... Courtney, mom, Janice!

~This just in!!! I had a commisioned piece just go out the door. ~

Ok back to what I was saying. I have been planning out my fall/winter season and have planned a party for the first week in January and am going to be participating in the Women's Conference held by the Medical Center October 28th. Lots of great prospects for home parties have been presented. Three ladies have shown interest in booking them. Hope they get the ball rolling and offer up a date.

Well, I need to get back to work.

Talk to you later
