Hi all.

My online business is at http://www.thewiresmith.etsy.com



I'm a jewelry designer and wireworker. I work with sterling silver and gold filled wire and a lot of gemstones and lampwork glass. My style is clean and modern, fresh and uncluttered which is very different from most wire jewelry which I find choked and cluttery.

I try to add a piece a day to the store and have done two custom orders so far. Prices range from $18 and up. I can ship to almost everywhere.

I also have a fan page on facebook where you can keep up with product announcements, specials, post reviews or threads - http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/pages/the-Wire-Smith/48915173439

Thanks in advance for your interest and support.

I also have an Etsy store http://www.makeafew.etsy.com



I am primarily a wood-worker. I am more than willing to do custom orders. I do a wide range of crafts from refinishing furniture, making chess boards, toys, chests and many other things. I also have many of my project pictures up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/snapafew/ for more ideas on my work. Feel free to to contact me for any questions.

Thank you for any interest or support of my craft!

I have seen pictures of products from both these stores and find the goods to be very attractive. Congratulations to you both. It is nice to be able to support friends.

I suggest if Green Dragoneers purchase from our fine friends that they post their happy reviews here and it will keep the thread some where near the top.

Newest items to hit the shop - 2 very different earrings.

Okay, I am going to force my daughter to make a decision... LOL

Anyone else have an etsy site they want to add to this thread?

couple more orders went out recently. One to you, girl, you know who you are. thanks so much.

Here are some new things in the shop -






http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6016010

Not only is the jewelry handsome but the photography is "top drawer" also. Congratulations.

Thanks. I've really tried to improve. Pictures are what sell the products.

Yay!

I'm sure that was just my first order...

Ooh, that lapis bracelet is very nice. I don't have anyone to buy it for...

Quick, everyone, start batting your eyelashes at Will.

;o)

I'll be willing to show off my ankles, too. Oh, Will, oh Will.....

*watches Will get bum rushed by people willing to have things bought for them*

*GriN*

#14 - Oh, you shameless creature! ;o)

#16 - all's fair when pretty jewelry is involved :)

Edited to add: *Hands Maggie some shoes to show off the ankles*

I should also mention that I have no money to buy it with, either.

The lapis bracelet is so nice that I'm off to check exchange rates....

Hands off, the rest of you!

Damn you, sinking Australian dollar!

hee hee! Ankles ahoy! It's funny about that bracelet, my mom's friend asked about it for her daughter and wants necklace and earrings, too. Daughter's birthday is in a couple weeks. Cool. Sorry about the exchange rate dreamlikecheese. I thought our dollar would outsuck yours. : (

And that bracelet is gone, folks! whee.

I know these aren't exciting but I just posted these up last night. Turned Handles.



I am hoping in a week or so to have some garden/lawn loons up for sale, they're built, I just have to paint them all.

Spring anyone?

Hey Bookmarque...it looks like the government might give me money for nothing (yay, stimulus package!) so looks like I'll be splashing out on some lovely jewellery in the near future!

(I'm not sure if this is allowed, so just drop me a line and I'll take the message down)

I'm a vintage clothing and antiques collector and opened up a store to pare down my 30-year collection.

Deep amethyst in a simple, wrapped frame.

oohhh pretty

I really love green turquoise! LOL

#46 - I do! But my 25th anniversary is coming up...

Those earrings in #44 are lovely! I think they'd look terrible on me. ;) I think it's a bit late for mothers day here.

Ok...one more reminder before I let it die a sad, lonely death.



These just went in the other day.

Thanks for looking!

Wow guys, you're all so talented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just had to say I ordered two pairs of earring from Bookmarque. They arrived quickly, well packaged and are absolutely beautiful! Exactly what I wanted for sure! One pair I got is up at post 24, the pretty pink ones at the bottom of the post. The other is an excellent pair of double hoops in silver. I've already gotten compliments on both of them!

Thanks Bookmarque!

:D

Awww...thanks girl. Enjoy!

I already have enjoyed them very much, Bookmarque! My four year old daughter loves both of them, but she is partial to the pink ones as it is her very favorite color! She's a little young for the big dangly ones, but I've promised her some when she gets bigger!

:)

I just saw your Butternut bowl on etsy. OOooooooh!

Check in the mail tomorrow.

I tried to go back to PayPal it, but etsy wouldn't let me :-(

Blessings,

60 > Thank you very much! I hope you like it. Hopefully I'll have some time to play some more with my lathe here soon so I can add some more stuff, maybe even a goblet or 2.

This weeks special has posted:

All women's sewing patterns are 50% off!

http://www.rubylane.com/shops/vintageclothingdreams

Thank you,

I love a lot of the clothes you have posted. I would buy them except for their measurements of 24" - 26" waists. I would need a corset!

I used to fit them once upon a time, but I DID use a corset! LOL. That's why I'm selling them off - even with a corset I *still* can't fit them.

This weeks special has posted:

All men's and women's hats are 50% off!

Hi all -- piggybacking on the previous post, I'm throwing my "hat" into the ring here. If you are into scrapbooking or need solutions for what to do with all of your digital or other photos, please visit my Creative Memories web site:

http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/missycorley

Creative Memories offers photo-safe materials that work well together and their album kits go together fast. I'm especially excited about their digital scrapbooking software -- if you would like to see an example of a book I created, let me know.

I have two specials going on right now. The next few customers who spend $50 or more on my site will each receive a free gift.

Also, please let me know if you'd like to join my mailing list. If you forward my September email message (which I'll automatically send to anyone who signs up this month) to friends and one of them makes a purchase, you'll BOTH receive a gift.

Here's where you can get in touch: http://www.mycmsite.com/sites/missycorley/contact-me

I am participating in a Craft fair the first 3 weekends in October. thought I'd put up the flier.

Oh, cool! I wish it weren't 1000(?) miles away. :o/

I know we have other MN members, though.

Craft fairs can be fun. I've considered them, but don't have enough "stock" to do one successfully I don't think.

I posted this to the Etsy shop today though. Lately I've been neglecting it in favor of the 1000 Markets shop, but I'm making it up.

Oh, nice!

ATTENTION TEACHERS!!!

I have always wished there was an appropriate place to promote myself here on LT, but I know self-promotion on message boards is a Cardinal No-no! There are so many teachers on these boards that I could be working with, but never thought it was appropriate to try and solicit you, my good friends!

Then I FINALLY noticed this thread, so here goes!

*Puts on PT Barnum Hat*

As some of you know, I make my living as a Group Escort/Tour Guide. The company I work for, EDU Trips, specializes in putting together class trips for schools. Whether it's a Senior Class trip to NYC, a Middle School Trip to Washington DC, or an Elementary School Trip to Philadelphia, I've done it all, and MAN do I have a blast.

What I do is, basically, EVERYTHING. I work very closely with the lead teacher to put together a fun and educational itinerary, then do all of the leg work booking buses, airfare, hotels, admission to various attractions, whatever.

I also travel with the group and stay in the hotel with you, to make sure that everything runs smoothly. I'm there to help handle any problems that pop up, big or small.

All of that aside, it would be so cool to meet some of you guys by helping on your class trips! We go anywhere, worldwide. Our specialty is, in addition to DC, NYC and Philly, educational and fun places like Williamsburg, VA, Boston, Gettysburg, the Amish Country of Lancaster County, PA and Baltimore. We've also recently done Chicago, Virginia Beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, New Orleans, and of course Orlando!

Although I personally haven't done any of the international trips yet, we've gone all over Europe, Asia, Latin America, and even have a Ghana, Africa trip coming up in December!

Check out our web site here: http://www.edutrips.com or call me at work 866-824-2266 x130

Thanks!

#69...love the earrings...if only I didn't have a baby who thinks they are for her to play with!!

#71...geography teacher from Sydney Australia here...if you ever need help planning a trip down under...

Sounds good! I'll definitely give a shout out if I get a trip to Australia! I've always wanted to go there, as well as New Zealand!

Just wanted to drop in and mention that you can now create 2010 calendars using your own photos with Creative Memories software. There is a sale on printing the calendars until 11/15. Below is an example calendar page that I made with a pre-designed layout and my photos. There are more examples using such pages and also single photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26689329@N03/sets/72157622607207498/

These calendars are so easy to make. The photo pages tear off for displaying in a scrapbook once the month is over.

#74 - Cool! Great idea!

And thanks for bringing this thread back up for air!

well, while I have selling on the mind, I should tell all my friends here that I am now a sales rep for Norwex products. At my demonstration parties I show you how to accomplish much of your home cleaning without using chemicals. Norwex cloths kill bacteria, clean windows without any streaks (using only water) and make them sparkle clean. Send me a PM if you are interested in reducing your having to buy and use household cleaning chemicals as Norwex has many, many useful and effective products. Thanks.

#75, thanks, clam!

#76, good luck with your new biz, maggs!

Thanks, missylc

Oh hey, I remember this thread. So to celebrate I'm going to offer 15% off for my LibraryThing peeps - use the code LTdiscount09 in a note to me during your purchase transaction - I'll refund the difference back to you once it's shipped.

Head over to either store for unique, not off-the-rack gifts for Christmas, Hanukkah or just because. International folks who are interested, PM me here and we'll talk shipping (it varies a lot from country to country).

I can package your gifts in a couple of ways for you, more traditionally in a jewelry gift box or in a non-traditional personalized way.

Bookmarque: Did I see some of your work in Reader's Digest - in the article about etsy?

I don't know. I don't think so. Is the article online?

Nope - in the magazine.

Well then, I have no idea. I'd need to see it. Sorry.

I am not sure how to start a new SUBJECT under THE NEIGHBORHOOD STORE. I do have an Etsy site for my beautiful BEADED BOOKMARKS and I'd also love to share some pictures with you here. I'm pretty new to these bulletin boards, so hopefully, someone will guide me.

In the meantime, here is a link to my ETSY site...The bookmarks are really pretty and I get such joy creating them. I also take requests or orders for themes you might not see on the site.

I've put together a special section of gifts that are $20 (or less) delivered. Perfect for Yankee Swaps, Secret Santas, Stocking Stuffers or other gift exchanges. Sweet.

Just thought I'd bump this thread and let everyone know I've put a few turnings on my Etsy Store. Such as

I love the Vintage look. Simply divine!

#87 - Ooooh I LOVE that wooden ring!

groo, so you know it's still available, though it's more a bracelet, about 4" across.

In the next week or two I'll be adding a link to my new website for those interested in looking at what I make.

LOL, I guess that makes more sense! Great piece, still!

Here's a link to my FB site about my Norwex products. I am looking for friends and followers:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Messie-Maggies-Green-Cleaning/134035619951259

I love these products and would love to help some more of you get to use them. Send me a PM if you are interested in my sending you a catalog.

I am very excited and pleased: You can look at, shop, and buy Norwex products at my very own page.

Let me know what you think! Thanks for your support.

A friend of mine made this necklace for my wedding. The quality of the image is a little poor, but I think this was the prototype, and she used a nicer chain for the finished product. This was worn by the bridesmaids, and I wore a similar one that used clear beads instead of green ones. I wish I could convince her to craft more. She enjoys it and I honestly believe that she could make a good living with it.

Very pretty!
