Lovely Lavender

I have posted some lovely pieces in my shop. Purple is one of my favorite colors, and I went to town making some new jewelry.

As a matter of fact, These pieces where once one big necklace that I made and was never happy with, so finally I took it back apart this week and created these pieces out of it. I used to hate to do things like that, but I have accepted that sometimes a piece doesn't work out right and you can just let it go...
As a bonus, I have made several pieces out of it.



This is my first stretch bracelet in years! I got my start as a youngster with a little unicorn duffle bag full of beads and stretch cord. (I seriously am longing for that pink duffle bag right now....I just want to see it. Wow, memories) Lovely Lavender Stretch Bracelet


Simple & Beautiful.(I hate the photo, but unfortunately right now I leave for work and get home when it is dark out. It doesn't make for great photos when added to my crappy camera)Amethyst Earrings

I am crazy for this pendant. I will probably make more in other colors or schemes using this pendant, though!

Updates

Hey Everyone! Make sure you read my September Newsletter (previous post). Also, I have picked 2 winners for my contest last month, and I have emailed them...

This is a long weekend for me. Plus, my beloved significant over left this morning for 2 days, so I am trying to keep busy. I have updated my Etsy Shop and eBay store with bath and body sets. Especially exciting is that I have eBay auctions going, so you could really get some of this stuff really cheap!!

There is different stuff at both stores, too.

Here's a little peek:






















There are a few more to go!

Tonight I am being creative and making stuff! Perhaps I will get some more listed tomorrow.

Oh! And school has begun again for me....well, it starts Tuesday, but it is online and I can access it. I am trying to get ahead this semester (yeah, right), so I am trying to reserve tomorrow afternoon to get started.

I hope you all enjoy your Labor Day tomorrow!

Love,
Kim

Paying it Forward

So, to start to get back into the swing of things, I made one of my necklaces a PIF on Etsy... A PIF is "Pay It Forward." I list an item for free and someone can have it, they just need to pay it forward. I actually got a really cool PIF bookmark from http://alissascreations.etsy.com that I was repaying by listing the PIF. She has all kinds of cool bags, too. I was really pleased with my purchase.
This is the necklace that I listed as a PIF. It got grabbed up right away, which thrilled me.

The craziest thing is that I had made this and similar necklaces a pretty long while back. I get a beading magazine over the weekend that has the same style necklace in it. Now, I am not saying by any means that they stole the idea from me, but I don't think I have seen necklaces so similar before and viola, there they are. I guess I was just ahead of my times when I made them. LOL

I have some other jewelry listed really inexpensively because I have had it in inventory for awhile. There will definitely be more coming soon. Maybe tonight even...I kind of have a hankering to do some listings. Of course, since school has started I am always worried that I am going to get behind or something. I am taking an extra course this semester.

Okay, Belles, I will sign off for now, I will update the blog tonight if I update my store. Check out what I have now, too! http://bbbellezza.etsy.com

Back again....

Well, it has been quite a while since the last post. I have been reading some really beautiful blogs and wondering how do they make their blogs so beautiful and professional and lovely? I scarcely know what I am doing. But, I must try! I WILL be part of this lovely blogging community.

I have also been in a sort of hibernating, relaxing, reloading phase since Christmas. It is now time to get out of that funk and start back up with all the fun of my shop. I have been making some cool stuff - all for myself! I will let you in on some of this stuff soon.

Some news and how to now find me. You can now find me exclusively on Etsy. I have given up eBay at least for now. http://bbbellezza.etsy.com
Right now there are very few things listed in my shop. This shall be changing. I plan on updating sometime in the near future with some lovely jewelry at really inexpensive prices and of course my nurturing bath and body products. You must nurture yourself in this cold horrible wintertime. And you know you really should nurture your loved ones, too!

My plans for this blog will include really beautiful photographs as I am inspired by other bloggers, but alas, today will not be the day for this. This is just my trial blog to get me back into the swing of things again.
