So, I found my earring making supplies last week and took them to the mini con for something to do. I made a pair of Venetian glass earrings while sitting at the table and had fun doing it. Then the other day, I decided to look up the brand on the vintage 60s (read: butt ugly) dress I decided to sell. Lo and behold, it’s a Tina Leser and worth some scratch! I paid about $50 for it several years ago and it’s worth around $200. Yay!
So, I decided to try out Etsy for selling the vintage dress. I posted it and decided to post the earrings, too. I remembered I had several pairs of earrings I’d made in that spate of beadery, so I got ’em out and posted them, too. I also posted two metal stamps that did not work for the project I bought them for. Voilà, an Etsy shop was born! Check it out:
I sold a pair of earrings overnight and now I’m stoked to make more! I’m going to Michael’s and the bead store today to get more wires and supplies. I am making Day of the Dead earrings and bracelets (more supplies I’d forgotten about!) to post later today. I’m also restringing a vintage crystal necklace I’ve had laying around forever.
Whee! I love feeling creative! :)
Love all the earrings…Sucks I can’t wear any of them..
