I would also like to report that the Holiday Open House in Salt Lake City at Central Book Exchange was a success! Many women came and loved my jewelry! They purchased some for themselves and as gifts for others. I received many comments about how perfect the jewelry is for people that are normally hard to buy gifts for. I even sold two of my hand-bound books. Overall, I am very pleased. Thanks for everyone's support!

Holiday Open House

Any woman who loves books and jewelry and who is going to be in the Salt Lake City area this Friday, November 30th, is invited to a Holiday Open House at my sister's book store. The store is called Central Book Exchange, located in Sugar House on 1100 E across the street from The Soup Kitchen. The open house is a "girl's night out" to eat, mingle and shop for great holiday gifts, including all of the books at the store, and featuring stained glass jewelry by me! It will go from 7-10 pm and it will be a lot of fun. So come see us on Friday night!

First Sale on Etsy!

Yeah! I finally made a sale on Etsy, a necklace and a book! I am so excited to break through the newbie barrier. Maybe now people won't be so hesitant to buy from me. It really is wonderful to be picked out of the endless sea of merchants on Etsy, where there is SO much to choose from, and so much competition. The day got even better when I made a sale on my main website, also: two necklaces that were new listings. I just love it when people like something that I've created. It makes me even happier when those people then wear the jewelry proudly, or use the book for something important. I never thought this could be so fulfilling! Thanks for listening to my happy ramblings!

Website Updates

My 25% off sale is now 30% off! And I've added an awesome new feature to my website: Design-a-Pendant. Check it out!

New Sale

I've gone ahead and discounted all of my plain glass pendants, necklaces and earrings. Pretty much all of my original items are now 25% off. The sale doesn't include anything I've added to the website this month, such as wire & glass jewelry. It also doesn't include books, chains, or gift certificates. The point of this sale is to move out some of the older inventory to make room for new designs. So take advantage of it while it lasts! Thanks!

Update on Etsy

Well, I've had several items listed on etsy for a week now, and no sales. I think my prices might be too high for that market...there is SO much competition on that forum. You almost have to post something new every day so that people will see your shop, and have low prices as well. So, I did a bit of research on other etsy shops similar to mine. I ended up having to lower my prices just a tad and lower my shipping prices also.

Feel free to get in on the bargains at www.beckysharpdesigns.etsy.com. It might help to have someone buy something there anyway, so I can get some feedback as a seller on etsy. People might be hesitant to buy from me, being a new seller with no sales and no rating. I appreciate everyone's support.
