69. New jewelry listed on Etsy.

If you remember from a previous post, I design and create jewelry and sell it on Etsy.

I’m FINALLY getting around to photographing a bunch of jewelry I made weeks…maybe months…ago.  Luckily,  I happen to be borrowing our landlords’ Canon D3000 (thanks, Mike and Erin!) for a few days, and let me tell you: it is AMAZING to shoot my products with a REAL camera!  They look like 9813274012 times better. Fah. Realz.

I renewed a bunch of expired listings today, but I also managed to get photos edited for 5 newer pieces (and also get them posted).

Let the prettiness begin!

First up, a lovely little glass vial strung on a copper chain…and FILLED with glitter.  It’s like carrying a bunch of fairy dust around with you.

Next up, a flirty bar-style necklace strung with faceted glass beads in a cool shade of mint green.  I shall call you, “little mint julep”.

Third, this fun little beaded number that is perfect for layering with other necklaces.

Next, I give you what I like to call the domino necklace: black and white Czech glass rectangles stacked on gold chain.  This was definitely a design that had me thinking outside the box.

Last, but certainly not least, comes this hot little number.  I love geometric designs with a hint of tribal/bohemian influence, and this certainly fits the bill.

These are just a few of my new designs, but I wanted my readers to be the first to see them!  The best part…each necklace is only $15 or less.  Bonus: since it’s a crazy shopping weekend, I’ve decided to host a sale in my shop…just enter the code BLACKFRI14 at checkout to receive 20% off any purchase $25 or more!  The code is good TODAY through Monday (12/1/14), so you don’t even have to shop on Black Friday.  Unless you’re into that nonsense.  Me…I prefer shopping in my PJs with a nice cup carafe of coffee.

Happy Thanksgiving!

68. You should listen to this.

Time for some shameless self-promotion!

Not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I am a musician.  I play guitar, sing, and write music.  Back in June, my husband and I decided to start a band.  We started writing new material, and found a fantastic drummer named Paul in July.  It took a few months, but we finally found a bassist (Andrew) and decided on a name: Faux Fiction.  It just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

Last Saturday, we spent 12 hours at Cherry Pit Studios recording our first song, “Dead Weight”.  I am unbelievably proud about how it turned out, and I want everyone to hear it!  EVERYONE.  Including all of my lovely readers. 🙂

If you would do me such an honor, you can listen to our track here:

Thank you for allowing me this self-indulgence.  Not that you really had a choice, but if you made it to the end of this post, I love you.  And I’d love to know what you think!
