One of my biggest challenges when I started to sell my jewelry is that I had to think ahead and visualize the "opposite" season. In the summer when I was sweltering in my studio (before the A/C was installed!), I had to think in terms of deep browns, reds, and greens. Then with snow on the ground and Christmas yet to happen, I'm working with pink, lavender, & lime. I realize that some people wear certain colors year-round, but a lot of my clients like to see seasonally-appropriate colors, and I have to begin making jewelry for the next season waaaay in advance so I have enough stuff to go around when the weather changes. Let me know if there's a certain style or color combination you think I should try for Spring 2006!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
A big THANK YOU to everybody who stopped by during the open house on Saturday! I have a few more orders to complete and one more party to have and then my busy season is finished. Being a one-woman operation has advantages like having my own personal touch on each aspect of my business, but the downside to that is I am pretty busy at certain times of the year. Now that my events are almost over for the year, I'm looking forward to finishing my Christmas shopping and even doing a little Spring bead shopping.
