A very merry day!

A big thank you to everyone who made it out to the Steveston Christmas Craft Fair today! Many pairs of earrings were sold, as was the Danae necklace, which was brand new and not even posted in the shop yet! All of the unsold items have now been relisted so if you didn't have a chance to see the jewellery in person, you can always look online.

The winner of the $20 gift card draw is Lori Dray, who has her eye on the lovely Emmanuelle earrings. Congratulations Lori! There will be another gift card draw at the next craft fair (to be announced) so be sure to clear your schedule!

The coming days will be spent cleaning my work space and then posting several new pieces including four pairs of earrings and a necklace. Here are two of the earrings, the Mina and the Elena:

After toying with the idea of setting up a supplies shop, I am one step closer to realizing that plan. That is, I have claimed the username ariasupplies.etsy.com and put up a banner:


There is still nothing in the shop, but that will gradually change. My plan is to post small quantities of some of my supplies to see if there is any interest. It isn't my intention to turn this into a full fledged business; rather, I often buy my beads in strands for the volume savings and because there is just no other way to get them, but don't need all of the individual pieces. This way I can unload some and hopefully use the earnings to buy more beads!
