Back for the New Year

So, i was gone from blog-dom for a while but i have been online in my different ventures....I don't know if i have mentioned before but, i now do have an online boutique at Zalora.com. I sell a lot of my jewelry there and what's great about it is that if you want to buy and pay cash on delivery or COD, you can!!!

Here is a link to my zalora boutique -

Kumihimo Crazee!!

I am soooo excited about the new items in my shop...KUMIHIMO DISKS!!! I have 2 kinds of disks available now...

and the square one but i don't have a picture for that yet...

I also have some very nice cotton thread cords for beautiful kumihimo creatios lie these bracelets ...

here is what it looks like closeup...

I have the materials needed to complete a bracelet like the ones above...

I used these cotton cords (double up to make each strand thicker)...just look at the all colors i have available... YUMMY!!!

Of course...you would also need end cord caps... for now i just have this one kind available...in 3 sizes

cords that will fit 6mm, 8mm and 11mm cords..

and finally you would need locks to finish up your bracelets...here are a few cute toggle locks...

flowers..

and here are some heart toggle locks ...perfect for valentines...

don't forget your other findings such as headpins or eyepins and jumprings...

and of course the glue to secure your end caps (I use either e-6000 or a two part epoxy glue which i like because it dries much faster!!) 

When you have all these supplies..you can sit yourself down and ease into the rhythmic, relaxing braiding sessions of the Japanese art of braiding...Kumihimo!!!

Have Fun!!!

Hello Again Blog

It has been months since I've written a blog post and I really feel bad that I have neglected this blog. It has been a busy couple months and things have not slowed down yet. After the big last quarter sale i had, quite a lot of new things have come along. In October I went to Hong Kong on a purchasing trip with my sister and we sure had a great time. I've been to HK a few times already and have fallen in love with all the beads and findings they have to offer. There are pretty metal components...

Pretty filigrees...big....


medium...

and small...

I bought earring settings....(and pendant settings which i still haven't photographed)...

Ring Filigrees....

Cute charms of all sorts...

 

Filigree hair pins...

My almost sold out hole punchers...should've bought more of these!!!

And lastly...lovely flower beads....

Oh it sure was bead shopping heaven...and although I want to keep it all for myself...i have already uploaded a lot of the items for sale in my facebook shop here -

http://www.facebook.com/earthlyjewelsbeads?ref=tn_tnmn

Last few travels i did to HK, i stayed at guest houses..but this time I thought i'd "live it up" and stay at a better, more upscale hotel..The Rosedale Hotel...and the extra bucks spent was definitely worth it!!! And here is my little "take home gift to self" .... my newest Kokeshi/ Kimmi doll...meet Kimmi Jr "Lotti" 

I try to buy a Kimmi doll everytime i go...just as a remembrance. 

I also joined a bazaar and it was a blast..but more on that on my next post. 

I'm hoping to be able to post more often now but that may not become a reality because its just gonna get busier with my nephew's wedding which will be in a few weeks, Christmas shopping and another bazaar in the works... well, let's see how it goes...

Hope you are all ok out there and are still around to read my blog...please do leave me your comments :-) 

Packing Orders and Time for Organizing

After a big sale, a lot of time is allotted to packing orders... I print out final invoices, layout all of the items and check them off from the list while i pack them...

Luckily, yesterday I have completed packing all orders. Most of them have already been sent and I am now just waiting for 2 more payments before I send off the last 2 packages to their respective locations. Now moving on to make next task...

I have tons of stocks sprawled out that are left over from the sale...

 I'm gonna have to arrange them and pack them

And then I have re-stock them into the right albums online so that I can get them sold if somebody wants to buy them...a lot of them will still be on clearance.

This has been keeping me happily busy. But, on Monday, I need to start my new secret task that I need to get going but have not started. More about that to come....

A Successful Sale

I've been neglecting my blog lately but with good reason...I have been soo busy working on a sale at my online shop just this past week. First I had to get all my stocks in order, post the items in separate albums and on the 8th started the sale. It just recently ended on the 15th and now I am starting to pack the items for shipping because the payments are slowly rolling in and I want to get the shipments out as soon as i can...

It was a nice sale with lots of cabochons and beads...

Settings and charms were on sale up to 25% off...

Pretty flower cabochons...

and wonderfully delicious colors of these lucite florals...

And for the first time, I was able to offer some of my polished stones from my stash....

This was a hard thing for me to do as I LOVE MY POLISHED STONES...but they've been hoarded way too long and they need to be part of someone's creations. So i chose a few and practically gave them away at very low prices!!! Luckily i still have more to hoard for myself....

I actually was looking at one of my favorite blogs (La Bella Joya) and got inspired again by her wonderful creations...I've been wanting to create some bead embroidery with my stash of polished stones but never got around to it....i mean just take a look at her gorgeous necklaces....like these...

Creation by Marcie of La Bella Joya

Oh so gorgeous...how i dream that one day i will have the time and the patience to make something like this! I am amazed at her work.

Anyways, I'm quite happy about the sale because I've made enough for my upcoming "business" trip and I'm hoping to be able to buy some new items for the shop. I've got to get this sale completed so i can move on to my other points on my to do list...also some secret..new products to be added to the shop... more to come!!

Hope everyone has a great week ahead!!

Colors....A-Brewing...

It's been quiet in the shop this week... not only because i was hit by a terribly stomach ache mid week but also because I've been busy. Now, I can't reveal quite yet what I've been up to but, I'm cooking something up for the shop and it involves a lot of color... so, in the meantime, I have to leave you with this photo to give you a sneak peek of what's brewing...

The big surprise will have to wait till next month...

Also, I'm planning and preparing for a large clearance sale in order to liquidize some stocks for October's "acquisitions" business trip...so that means, its a busy end of the month for me in preparations....

Anyways..happy weekend all!
 

  

Something New...

There's nothing more exciting to me than an arrival of new samples!!! You finally hold in your hand the actual feel of metal and not just an image printout... doesn't that just hit you with all sorts of ideas and inspiration!!!

So the arrival of this set of samples...sure put a smile on my face....

I've already listed them in the Facebook shop...and tonight I'll put it up on my website too! Of course, I also keep one of each in my personal collection!!! Yey! Whichever one of these are popular will become REGULAR items in the shop...personally i love them all....
