Blue Crab Festival...Report

Very nice, very hot festival, the booths near the river had the best locations, as the breeze from the river was quite pleasant. Some really nice jewelry on exhibit there, I was impressed. The Myrtle Beach Bike week was also going on, so that added to the traffic getting to the show and the parking. I definately want to attend next year as an exhibitor, I took the camera but never took any pictures.

Website updated...

I worked on the website a bit last night, I think I've settled on a layout for the site navigation, thanks to my husband Capt Ron's input. Earrings are still the only pages active, and I must take more pictures of the new ones I've designed. Things are moving along, even if slowly, I live in the sLOW COUNTRY. Grand opening is still targeted for July 1st. That's when the 'add to cart' buttons will appear.

Some great finds this weekend

Watch for new earrings and bracelets. I found some great lavender shells, a couple of really nice amythst pendants, and some great malachite beads, this past weekend. I intend to expand my 'sailors' line of tranish resistant jewlery. I really must get more pictures made, and work on that pitiful website. Next weekend I'm planning to attend (as a shopper this time) the Blue Crab Festival in Little River SC... if I like what I find, I may exhibit there next year.

To blog or not to blog....

I'm not sure I really like this blog site, I may just forgo the 'nice' software and do this 'blog' stuff myself. But for now this is it.

Added some new pictures last night, the descriptions don't necessarily match the photos, and one of the pieces appears to have been damaged in storage, didn't notice until I saw the large photo of it. Hum, should I sell it anyway?

There's more to a Jewelry Business than jewelry

Hello World :)

I'm in the very beginning of starting an at home Jewelry Business. There are so many things I need to learn, besides making jewelry, there's html, and shopping carts, and blogs.. and business licenses. Just to name a few details I'm still working on. I'm planning on an 'open house' some time in July this year, with 25% discounts on all the jewelry and free shipping.
