Googled in the act


So yesterday, in a fit or boredom I did something I had never done in my life. I looked myself up- well actually I looked up Villain Accessories. And as I expected there is a great line or rivalry between my jewelry and bad guy paraphernalia everywhere. so by the time I reached the third page to my surprise I found the most amazing comments about my Entangled Earrings by Sasha Manuel on Indiestylefile.com


As I read on I found another review on my Daylight Necklace Sasha Manuel is an amazing photographer, blogger journalist and more from Australia no less. Thank you for your kind words Sasha.


Because being beautiful makes you the bad guy.

I will be joining this fabulous event on March 1st. I certainly expect to see you there supporting your local artisans.

"Be seen"

Be seen. That is my goal for 2009. I worked erratically and frantically in 2008, and though it paid off I am looking at being much more precise and intentional this year. They cant buy your precious gifts if they cant see them. So that's what I am doing. In the last month I have added my to my locations Sahara salon in (Rockridge) Oakland, and Most recently the Nail Mill in Pleasanton. The owner has been very gracious enough to allow me to set up a cabinet and show some items in her nail salon. So on the evening of December 3o, my husband and I took in 30 pieces ranging from $20 to $115.

Saturday, January 3, I get a call from a wonderful woman at the salon who is quite taken with my pieces. We talk a few times that morning on a range of items, mainly regarding taxes, and how she loves my pieces, if she can take all the bags I have out and so forth. One hour later and 3 minutes later I negotiate a $90 discount I manage to make a $575 sale.
Fluke or not I am a definate believer, Be seen.
