Happy Holidays to you and yours!!!

It’s been an extremely hectic past couple months here and i’m enjoying the luxury of several days off, time with family and not having to think about either the day job or bead orders for a little while. 

I’ll be back into beadmaking and blogging again once the new year arrives…

In the meantime, i’ll leave you with a couple seasonal videos – above: a fantastic rendition of the classic Christmas song “What Child is This” with Andrea Boccelli featuring Mary J. Blige and below a hilariously tongue in cheek  Bollywood version of Jingle Bells.

In case you’ve been wondering why i’ve been so quiet…

i’ve been busy with the day job and prepping for our annual handmade glass bead show next weekend.  Last year was such a hit, we’ve extended the show to TWO days this year and changed to bigger location.

I’ll have my usual selection of goddess and Pandora beads plus some other new designs in focals and maybe even some jewellery!

You can find out more details about the show here:  http://www.ottawaglassbeadartists.com/ and artist stories here: http://ogba.wordpress.com/ 

See you there!

 

I’m trying eBay again…

I made my first sale on Etsy this week (THANK YOU!!!) so giddy with my first official online store success, i’ve decided to dust off my crushed ego and try eBay again (September was just a slow month, right? right??).  

I’ve relisted the two Pear Tree beads and the Liquid Fire goddess bead HERE.  They are really some of the best beads i’ve made – all three came out of the kiln better than i expected.  I have a couple more beads i’m planning to list next week as well.  Take a look, auctions end October 15th.   Happy bidding!

UPDATE 10/19:  well, it seems eBay was not the right market for these beads – I’ll list them to my Etsy store this week instead… In other news, i received the loveliest thank you note from my first Etsy buyer.  It makes me so happy when i know the recipient loves their bead as much as i do!

I’m trying out eBay as well for the first time…

I’ll be relisting these beads on eBay on Friday, October 9th (likely for another seven days).  Click any of the pictures below to take a closer look!

I have three auctions listed on eBay – click any of the pictures below to take a look!
