Jewelry Business Tip:
I've been spending so much time printing out earring cards, cutting them, and needed something that was easier and more efficient. I came across an idea from another jewelry designer to have the earring cards printed as business cards from Vista Print. It was really inexpensive and works wonderfully. All you need to do is take your earring card design and upload it into their business card design program and flip it so the design is vertical vs. horizontal. If you need help coming up with a design for your cards there are lots of designers on Etsy who would design one for you for a good price. I used For Keeps, a graphic designer on Etsy that was great to work with and will customize a card to your business style. I had my cards printed with a matte finish so that I could write on the front. However, glossy would look fabulous and isn't that much more expensive. You could even have some info about your components or how you design your jewelry printed on the back. Don't forget your web address! This is a great place to advertise your website. If you need a website, I'd recommend Web Store Now (very easy to use, economical, and all-inclusive).

Peapods are just so darn cute and irresistible. I have been working on creating "collections" on my website. Check out my website to see my new peapod collection page. I hope to expand it and add more product soon.

Why do people love peapods? It might be because they represent a symbol of everyday life- of closeness, security, sweetness, renewal, nature, and nurturing. Peapod jewelry is the perfect gift for a mother, best friends, a food lover, and anyone that appreciates the sweet fresh look of a pod of peas.

I'm so excited to finally get a cohesive look for my packaging and Saturday Market booth. I worked with a great graphic designer named Sarah from Etsy (www.forkeeps.etsy.com). I seriously believe that you can find the best things on Etsy. She did a great job in creating a "look" that matched my personal and business style.


The fabulous stickers in the center of my boxes were printed by another Etsy seller- Redhead diva . The boxes and bows are from Nashville Wraps. These bows are great! They are brand new and I snatched up 100 as soon as I saw them. They are stretchy and come in lots of colors!
