It’s been a busy summer for myself and family.  We’ve had some crazy weather with highs in the 90’s only a few times.  Which is odd, but is ok with me.  I’d rather get out and about when it’s in the upper 70’s compared to the upper 90’s.  So listing new items is slow at best.

One of the things I did this summer, with the help of one of my best friends, is participate in a few craft shows.  They have been fun and a learning experience!  I’m not making a lot of money, but I’ve covered the fees and a little more.  My inventory is still a little small compared to other jewelry sellers I’ve met,  but I’ll get there.

How you choose the items, is up to you.  Your theme might be color (as below), types of items, price ranges, holidays, events, age group, etc.  Whatever you can dream up.  When you’re done picking, you can choose to post.  Once you’ve posted, your treasury is shared with the world.  Unless you mark it private.
