Earrings in the Hopper

I was able to create for a couple of hours this past weekend, despite all the functions and things we had going on, and boy was it nice!

I actually played with wire and wrapped a few gemstones for earrings. 

I even made a few earring wires.

Haven't done that in a while!

Hopefully this coming weekend I'll get these finished, photographed and listed over in my Etsy shop. 

 It's rather bare at the moment so new items are needed! 

I've been inspired by so many different things lately. 

Here's some of my inspiration for these earrings:

Sea Caves, Taiwan

Glory Hole, Ozark National Forest

 

Nature is so beautiful, isn't she?

Stalactites Via Pinterest

What is it that inspires you?

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Natural Beauty!

Focus on Life: Week 36 - In Two

This week's prompt from Sally over at

The Studio Sublime for Week 36 of the

Focusing on Life: 52 Photos Challenge was:

 

In Two

 

 

 

"This week, let's focus on things in twos!"

 

And this is exactly what I've been doing ALL WEEK LONG! 

 

Yep,  over 160+ pairs of 'twos' to be exact.

 

 

Ear Wires Galore!

 

But I thought these 'Two' were much more fun (and cute!) so I decided to get a pic of them as well.

 

Say hello to Coco and Kiki, our Peach Faced Lovebirds. 

 

 

Coco and Kiki

 

Coco's 7 years old and Kiki is just 1 year old.  Kiki's a bit more camera shy than Coco.  And, she's got 4, (possibly 5 now, I haven't checked this morning) little eggs she's sitting on.

 

Not sure if they'll develop - her last few batches (or what ever you call them) didn't.  But she's a really good Mama and sits on them almost all day for a few of weeks until she realizes they're not going to amount to anything. 

 

Not sure if I'm ready for 'Grand-Birdies' or not,....

 

I'm down in Tucson this weekend for the Fall Gem, Jewelry and Bead Shows they're having (insert happy squeal here!) and I think I'll find at least "Two" perfect pearls to put on a pair of those ear wires but I may not make it around to every one's posts until Monday when I return.

 

In the meantime, why don't you hop on over to The Studio Sublime and see what other 'twos' popped up in every one's lives this week!

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and 'Two' Much  Fun!

Cheers,

Etsy Shop "FINDINGS UPDATE" is Complete!

The "Findings Sections" of the MiShel Designs Etsy shop  was updated today with new Ear Wires
and a few other things as well.

 

 

Be sure to get things while you can this month.  

Once they're sold out, I may not be able to add any more until next month when I do the September "Findings Update". 

 

 

And again, for those of you who order in large quantities (from 30 - 100 or more pairs of ear wires at a time) from me, please convo me with your requests when you need them and I'll arrange a personal, custom reserved listing for you.

 

Happy shopping!

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Updates!

Cheers,

Changes And An Etsy Shop Update Status

I wanted to post a reminder about the CHANGES taking place starting in August and let you know the next SHOP UPDATE in the FINDINGS Section of my

MiShel Designs Etsy Shop.

 

(scroll to the bottom to see the date of the next shop update!)

All the finished jewelry in the MiShel Designs Etsy Store will be for sale as normal, but my ear wires and components (Findings) will be changing to a 'Monthly Shop Update' as far as listings and availability are concerned.

 Because I do so many custom orders for ear wires and things of this nature, it's been challenging to keep certain findings in stock or to regularly stock new jewelry designs to my store, which in turn has caused me to fall behind on things that need attention in both my business and personal life.  

 

 

So to remedy this, I'll be putting up listings for specific styles and amounts of ear wires and findings each month and I'll make the announcement of the date of the scheduled update and again when it's updated.

 

When they sell out, they'll be gone until the next month's Shop Update when I re-stock.

 

 

 

This should keep me on a more organized schedule, make shipping a couple of days faster and allow more clients to try various styles of ear wires and other findings.

 

A win-win for every one.

  

I'm going to do my best to adhere to my Shop Updates 'dates' that I announce, but if you ever have any questions you can message me on Etsy, over on Facebook or email me at Shel@asicj.com!

 

 

 

And, for those of you who like to purchase larger quantities and custom orders of the ear wire styles that I make, please convo me on Etsy or email me at anytime to check on having me set up a reserved listing for you and I'll do my best to work with you and accommodate your requests.

 

 

The first "Findings Shop Update" will be Tuesday, August 6th, 2013

 

 

Thanks for continuing to follow along and for your patronage over in my Etsy shop - I truly do appreciate it and I think these changes will be better for everyone!

 

Have a great week!!

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Growing with the Changes!

Cheers,

A Reminder and A Change On The Horizon

Just wanted to send a little reminder,...

I'm having a Summer Sale over in my Etsy store this week.

Click HERE to Go Shopping Now!

 

 

20% off your total order upon check out with
coupon code JULY20 -  good until July 19th.

 

 

We've got family coming to Arizona this week and we're having a brother/sister reunion this weekend through the end of July. 

 

I'm really looking forward to some great quality family time and I'm super excited to see all my Great Nieces and Great Nephews - they're growing up so fast!

 

After I return from 'Family Time' I'll be changing things up in my Etsy store just a bit.

 

 

All the finished jewelry will be for sale as normal, but my ear wires and components will be changing to a 'Monthly Shop Update' as far as listings and availability are concerned.

 

 Because I do so many custom orders for ear wires and things of this nature, it's been challenging to keep certain findings in stock or to regularly stock new jewelry designs to my store, which in turn has caused me to fall behind on things that need attention in both my business and personal life.  

 

 

So to remedy this, I'll be putting up listings for specific styles of ear wires and specific amounts of ear wires and findings each month, I'll make the announcement that they're over in the store and then, when they sell out, they're gone until the next month when I re-stock. 

 

 

Every month I'll announce the 'Shop Updates' on my social networking sites each time I have a new batch of findings listed so people will know they're in stock.

This should keep me on a more organized schedule, make shipping a couple of days faster and allow more clients to try various styles of ear wires and other findings.

A win-win for every one.

 

 

I'll be sending out an announcement about my first shop update sometime the 1st week of August here on the blog, over in my Etsy store and over on Facebook as well, so be watching for that.

 

 

And if you have any questions, you can message me on Etsy, over on Facebook or email me at Shel@asicj.com as always!

 

Thanks for continuing to follow along and for your patronage over in my Etsy shop - I truly do appreciate it and I think these changes will be better for everyone!

 

Have a great week!!
 

 

Until Next Time,

Peace, Love and Happy Summer!
