On the last Chicago trip, I held an impromptu jewelry party at my friend's mom's office. Well, it was more like I brought jewelry for my friend's mom and everyone came in to look and started buying stuff and ordering stuff. There was a little bit of bargaining and it was the first time I was on the selling side. I just had no idea what I was doing. I definitely gave some really good deals that day. But, I sold a lot and I got a huge custom order. Here are some of the pieces I just finished. I am thinking about listing some of them in my shop.
Ariel's bracelet and necklace set...
They really liked my Sunshine in Provo necklace...except they all wanted different colors. One color scheme is derived from my Nadia's Earrings in Violet Velvet and the other is from Stranded Necklace. I also made one in just golden shadow.
One of my all time favorites: Princess Mori's Necklace...
Earrings to match the Old World's Necklace....
I just sent everything out this morning. I am a little bit nervous. This is the biggest order I have mailed out. I got insurance on it, but I am still scared that something is going to happen to my precious creations.
Next time, I am going to prepare better and mark everything with price. I didn't do that and it was a mess to try to remember how much everything was. And I just wrote down on scrap paper what people ordered and it just wasn't very clean. With everyone talking and asking questions, it was just so hectic! Fun though...I definitely look forward to next time :)

24-10-2009 23:03, Dear Joyce, I just want to say that I was so happy reading something so honest! Just refreshing! I am sure we all had this kind of experience (not being very well prepared, being so nervous and excited at the same time). Congratulations on your great success and all the best for the future! Eva from Chilicrab BTW, I adore your Ariel's necklace! :-) ![]()
