Now selling on eBay

Wow, I've just realised that I've not posted for ages - I've been sooooooooo busy at school.  Anyway, I have put a few Sparkly Sparrow Designs items on eBay, so check out my eBay page to grab yourself a bargain!

Craft fairs

I have been running my Etsy shop since March and not much has been happening.  The Etsy market seems to be saturated with people selling jewellery and it is difficult to get noticed.  I have over 250 likees on my Facebook page and they seem to like what I make but I'm still not getting many sales.

I am not sure that the photographs of my jewellery do it justice and so I am thinking about trying a few craft fairs so that people can see what my jewellery is really like.

I am going to visit a local craft fair next weekend to get an idea of stall size, cost and what else is on sale.

I am really interested to hear from people who have tried craft fairs and what degree of success they had.

Über Busy Week

Creatively, it has not really been a very interesting week as I have been so busy at school.  People who don't teach really have no idea how crazily busy the end of term is. 

Two pretty cool things have happened this week though.  Firstly, one of my customers blogged about me (click here to read what she wrote). Secondly, I have got nearly 200 likes on my Facebook page, look:

So exciting!!  There will be a free gift for my 200th 'liker'

Yay!

I am so excited today - my bracelet won the London Jewellery School weekend competition!

I've been trying to photograph my jewellery and put it on Etsy.  I have been concentrating on getting the Sparkly Sparrows on there, so here they are:

Which ones do you like the best?

Items on Etsy

At last, I have done it - I have actually got five items on Etsy!  It has taken me all day to take the photographs, write the descriptions and uploads it all.  See below for photos and let me know what you think.

My jewellery

Jordan and I spent a good few hours on Sunday taking photos of my jewellery to go on my Etsy page.  I still need to crop them and tidy them up, but they should be on here soon.  Thanks Jordan for all your help.
