A Special Holiday Thank You!

I must say I was very blown away this Holiday Season.  Wow!!!  This was absolutely the busiest Holiday I’ve had since I established The Pink Locket and opened up my Etsy store in 2008.  A week ago I was putting Aiden  in his car seat and he heard the “Cha-Ching” sound go off on my phone.  With a confused look on his face he says “Mommy what’s that sound?” I said, “That means we got another Etsy Sale! Yayyy!” and he smiles.

This Holiday was full of surprises indeed, not only did The Pink Locket make record sales, but I was able to partner with amazing individuals like blogger Courtney Creer of Believe In Style on a giveaway.  In addition, I was able to work with Kabbage and Modani Furniture and create blog posts and fashion mood boards.   Considering The Pink Locket is a one woman show (smile), I work full- time, have a husband, raising three wonderful boys and two dogs (yes they require attention too), and I peg away at DIY projects  – that’s not too shabby I’d say.

I’d like to take this time out to say THANK YOU to all my customers, new and old.  You continuously help me to strive to do better and be better, whether it’s challenging my limits as a jewelry designer or business woman.  There are times when I get frustrated and feel like hanging up my wire cutters, but you motivate me to be better not just with The Pink Locket, but in everything from my career to personal life.  I hope you have a wonderful Holiday and many blessings and positive vibes to you in the New Year.

Also, if you’ve placed a jewelry order prior to 12/16 you should receive your order shortly, if you haven’t already.  All orders placed on 12/16 and after will not be received until after 12/25/14.

Thank You and Happy Holidays!

Make It Monday: Shimmer Inspired Jewelry Stand

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining other creative entrepreneurs at CNC’s Annual Holiday Market.  I don’t do a lot of shows, but when I do I like to change up my displays a bit.  Operating on a shoe string budget, I needed a way to nicely display Statement Rings .   I found this wonderful idea on Pinterest and used it as my inspiration from Planet Blue:

Gathering some tools and supplies I had laying around I was able to create this white and gold accent jewelry stand to display my handcrafted Statement Rings beautifully.

Here are the simple steps to create your own!

 

Make a Statement with these Rings

When I first started my Etsy store, statement rings was the most popular item.  Well this week my statement rings are the “Jewelry Item of the Week,” meaning they’re 40% off (offer expires 12/13/14).

Personalized Wine Charms and Decatur Wine Festival

I attended the Decatur Wine Festival this past weekend.  Once again it was a complete hit and I’ve compiled my absolute favorites.  My only gripe was there weren’t too many food options for this vegetarian girl!  Oh well…the wine was on point though.  I did something special this year at the festival and gave away my newly added Personalized Hand Stamped Wine Charms to 1o lucky ladies.  If you missed me at the festival or weren’t one of the lucky 10, don’t worry Wine Charms are the “Jewel of the Week” and are 40% off this week only 🙂
