Workin' Hard...

...or hardly working??? It seems that the worst part of creating things, is the photography side of it. While I relish the time I'm able to spend creating something new from something old, or a fun piece of jewelry, the inevitable is...it must be photographed for Etsy! Surely I am not the only one who detests this??? :) On the bright side, the light through my kitchen window was great this afternoon, and I was able to load many new items on Etsy. One new jewelry piece on beadsbuttonsbubbles, and several different items to ShenanAgains. Take a peek!

Can a shop survive on earrings alone???

That is the question I am pondering this afternoon. What would happen if my shop consisted of ONLY earrings??? I love earrings. I love them for me, I love them for others, I love making them. That's primarily what is in my shop right now, aside from my soap. So I have to wonder...would the shop thrive on earrings alone? Not that it is booming right now, mind you...but hypothetically...

I have lots of buttons waiting to be made into earrings and/or rings, and I can't wait to see how they turn out...but the more of those I make, the more they overtake my shop...is that bad? I mean, I AM beadsbuttons(AND)bubbles lol...I've just been concentrating on bubbles in the past more so than beads & buttons...and since bubbles aren't paying the ol' Etsy bill, maybe beads & buttons will? We shall see.

I also need a new outlet for finding buttons. I don't usually get into the vintage stuff too much, because I like being able to keep my things affordable and fun; the vintage can get really pricey...but if any of you dear readers know of a nice Etsian or site with reasonable, fun buttons...By all means, let me know :) I'll tell them you sent me, ha!
