it rained. thus, foot traffic wasn't as much as expected at the Blackbird Market on 13feb2010. i have made a few sales, but it was disappointing. on the plus side though, i have made friends, met some really cool people, saw some amazing talent and basked in really really good artistic vibes. all in all, it was a lovely well-spent day. and spent is the word. i crashed when we got home. the next market day is coming (13mar2010) and i am hoping that this one will be better sales-wise. i still need to find a hand mannequin because i think the tiered t-bar jewellery display stand i used previously makes the bracelets inaccessible to customers who want to try them on. it was good for organising, considering the limited table space i had, but it was not really very customer-friendly. i am redesigning my display for easier access to the jewellery. below is a photo of my display, not exactly the best photo, as this was taken using a phone camera.
sweet with an edge. flirty fun and mysterious. this bracelet is made of carefully wire-wrapped pink jade beads of the sweetest colour, ending in a black rose with a pink center. two antiqued brass leaves accent the chain. it measures approximately 17.8cms (around 7inches) and is secured by an antiqued bronze dainty toggle clasp.
perfect for when you want to say "i only look innocent".
feminine, dainty, sweet, flirty, romantic
black and ivory glass pearls are wire-wrapped together to form part of the bracelet, while on the other end, ivory glass pearls and black and crystal crackle glass beads are attached to a delicate silver chain. a silver-plated swallow holds the toggle clasp where a white lucite rose, a gunmetal gray glass pearl and a crystal glass teardrop wire-wrapped bead are suspended.
simple and elegant, this is the perfect bracelet to accessorize your white-shirt-and-jeans outfit or a simple white cotton day dress.
this bracelet features a burgundy acrylic rose. it has wire-wrapped burgundy glass pearls linked with wire-wrapped burgundy/deep purple swarovski crystal rondelles. attached to this link is a gold chain holding wire-wrapped burgundy swarovski crystal rondelles and wire-wrapped deep purple czech glass beads. a gold swallow holds the toggle ring where the rose is suspended along with a single swarovski multi-coloured black crystal rondelle.
the length may be adjusted to your wrist size, please send me a note upon checking out.

valentine's day has passed, and we have decided to forgo the traditional valentine's day date, opting instead to have an all-day date three days after. lesser people, no need for reservations, and we have avoided horrible traffic and parking was easy peasy. some photos taken during the day.

i have been neglecting theLeidy's trinket box lately, i'm finding it hard to strike the perfect balance (read: 80-20%) between family and work. i need to map out a schedule and stick to it. not easy with a toddler who has *just* learned how to walk and wants to explore more. trouble is i can never function normally in the morning. i work well at night, but that is the time when my hubby and i cuddle and talk. i need to start waking up early. stat.

All of your new bracelets are beautiful and your daughters are too! great photo with all the graffiti.
I'm sure it is difficult to work out a schedule with a sweet little one toddling around.
I used to work in a hop and we used some of the t-bar displays. They seemed to be great as long as no one wanted to try the bracelet on. They tangled them up because they didn't think to unclasp the bracelet to get it off. Pretty good for security, though.
