Last week I did something I have never done before...I sold my jewelry. It seems like lately, I've been doing a lot more with jewelry and that opportunities keep popping up. I participated in a spring boutique with 2 other sales people. I don't really consider myself a home-based sales person, so it was definitely out of my comfort zone but I felt like it turned out ok.
I think it was a bit nerve racking for me because it's uncomfortable for others to make the judgement on items that you have put so much effort into. People seemed to like it, which was validating for me. Although, the things I was sure would sell didn't and the ones I wasn't sure about sold.
I'm not sure if I'll do this again but it was a good experience to get some feedback. Here's how it all turned out with pictures of some of the projects.

| Earrings made with my flameworked beads. I actually have quite a few of these still in stock. I don't want to solicit but if you'd like a pair, they're $9. |

| A knotted necklace. The picture isn't really true to the colors. It was a really pretty coral color with the white. |
 |
| A knotted necklace with one of the hollow beads that I made on the torch. This one didn't sell. Can you believe that? |

I've said it before, I'll say it again...You are SO incredibly talented with your jewlery making (well and everything else you do...) I love the earrings I have that you made! I treasure them!
