♥ Lucky me!  Fellow Etsy Artisan, CleverBetty, created an Etsy Treasury dedicated to ABC's hit TV show Lost.  My "Dharma in Bloom" earrings were one of the many featured handmade items Etsy.com has to offer.  Visit the Treasury HERE and be sure to check out all of the other great artisans that were also featured. 

 

 

I may be a month late with this, but... Happy New Year!  I feel like it's been forever since {Artsy Tartsy Jewels} was last open, but that surely isn't the case.  Back in late-November 2009 we had to temporarily close the Etsy jewelry shop due to our move from Texas to Tennessee.  Every time I mention this I feel like singing George Strait's "All My Ex's Live in Texas" (That's Why I Hang My Head in Tennessee).  Yeehaw!


There are over 50 new jewelry designs that are ready to go up in the Etsy shop.  Oh, yes!  Also, an official {Artsy Tartsy Jewels} website is going to be launched for public viewing very very soon.  You will be able to purchase our lovely handmade items directly from the website via PayPal.  How great is that!  If you already have an Etsy account, not to worry.  We will still be listing our items for sale there, too.  Hooray for various purchasing options!

Have a great day, everyone!  :)

 The ArtsyTartsyJewels.etsy.com shop will be closed for a short period until January 2010.  The shop will go into 'vacation mode' at Midnight (CST) tonight.  We are moving to another state and all of our goods will be in shipping limbo.

We will be back and better than ever!  Be prepared to see a bunch of new and never before listed jewelry items.  To keep up-to-date with the shop's re-opening and happenings follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/ArtsyTartsyJwls.

A new pair of earrings have been listed for purchase in the Artsy Tartsy Jewels online shop.

Description:  Amethyst colored faceted Czech glass beads with black diamond colored faceted rondelles beads and rose bicone Swarovski Crystals on antique copper earring wires.

A busy week is being had.  Today was my first day back as a barista after a couple of years--those 'coffee-slinging-free-years' were filled with being a corporate drone--and I'm loving it!  I've always enjoyed making tasty beverages for people.  I feel like a caffeine addiction enabler.  Hurray for java jolts!

I am currently uploading 459 photos taken today [after work] of earrings, bracelets, and necklaces for the Artsy Tartsy Jewels on-line shop.  I figured I would cease this opportunity to write a quick blog.  Still more photos to be taken.  Geez!  After that some more uploading, then possibly editing in Picasa.  Love that free program, highly recommend it.  Then, I have a lab paper to write for Abnormal Psychology that is due tomorrow.  Also, I promised a friend, and hopefully future freelance employer, that I would read the first draft of his novel Pray.  If all works out I will be his copyeditor.  Hurray for editing!  I think I'm one of the few people I know that actually enjoys whipping out her red marking pen to correct grammatical, spelling, and sentence structure errors.  It's sad how it gives my life some meaning.

The photo uploading has finally finished...

Just one of the many photos taken.  This is a fabric wrapped wooden bangle.  Not sure what to name it yet, but I'm sure it'll come to me when I have a chance to sit down and catch my breath.

Oh, also forgot to mention I am recovering from bronchitis.  Yuck!
