I made my Goal of 150 Sales by Jan. 31, 2011

Thank You ... Thank You ... Thank You

You came through and I reached my goal of 150 sales by the end of Jan. 31, 2011

Tomorrow I put all the names of the buyers from the sales in Dec. 2010 and the sales in Jan. 2011 into a box or a hat or a bag and a hand goes in and a number or name comes out.  That is the winner of the $10.00 AMC Theaters Gift Card.

The winner will be drawn from over 40 names/numbers.  Each name is numbered and a  number will be choosen.  I will blog the list and the winner tomorrow.  Maybe I should use that random number generator.

Again Thank You for helping me reach my goal of 150 sales by the end of January 31, 2011.

now let's learn about SEAFLOWERSTUDIO

The owner of SeaFlowerStudio is Marissa.
I asked Her a few questions so we could get to know Her better.
Q) do you have a favorite item in your shop?
A) "It's hard to choose a favorite item in my shop because I love everything! But I would have to say my enamel pieces are my favorites because I love knowing that I have created the entire piece from start to finish. I love putting the piece in the kiln and then seeing how beautiful it is when it comes out!"

Q) do you prefer to make certain items?
A) "I wouldn't say I have a preference to make certain items but I go through phases of making things. I used to only make bracelets and then I became obsessed with earrings. Now I'm in more of a necklace mood. And I also love working with everything from silver to ceramic beads to gorgeous crystals. I just get inspired by something beautiful I see or find and go from there."

Q) anything special you would like to have mentioned in my blog?
A) "I would love it if you mentioned my

Who Are We ... Let's Name Names

I am going to talk about Etsians!!
I have chatted with many of you without knowing who you are.  I didn't know your name only what name you used here on etsy but I have learned that the name you use here may have something to do with your child, what your Husband or your Family calls you but NOT YOUR NAME.  I was getting sellers confused because their avatars were similar or the names they used were similar.  I thought I was chatting with one person and it turned out to be someone else.  SOOOOOO I thought it was time to get to know each other.  What is your name?  I opened a thread  Let's Name Names just so we can introduce ourselves to each other.  Let's not be shy I have read your posts now tell me your names.
So now I have some names and some info ... I am going to start with the threads I frequent and I will list the sellers by shop.  I will tell you their name and what they sell in their shop.  I will also tell you any interesting facts about them that they want told or that they mentioned on the threads (I will get the ok first).
What do you want YOUR Friends to know about YOU?  You can convo me, email me or spill it on the thread Let's Name Names.

Time to begin
The 1st thread on the list is
"THE CRAZY BNR THREAD"
It's members:  starting with ME

This is me and my Hubby
Marcene is my name but I go by Beany and I call Him Cecil and I have for over 30 years.  I have only been on Etsy for not quite a year.  I sell handmade Jewelry pieces and matching Jewelry Sets.  I enjoy making Bracelets the most.   Here is a picture of one of my newest additions to my etsy shop

I just opened a 2nd etsy shop where I sell jewelry supplies.  I have such an abundance (I buy Quantity to get the best price) I do not need this much.  I have no room in here (the den).  Actually My Hubby has no room to get to His computer or anything else because of all the beads and boxes all over.  I am working on organization but failing.
So in a nutshell here I am Marcene or Beany

A New Day, A New Week, A New Month, A New Year ... A NEW SHOP!!

I have opened a NEW SHOP on Etsy.  I have been thinking about this for a while but I thought it would be such a hassle to keep track of 2 shops.  You have to have a different email address per shop so now I have to keep track of 2 emails.  You have to use 2 browsers so each shop can be usable to chat through, to post listings on threads, to buy into BNR's from both shops.  I did not want to log out, log in, log out, log back into the one I use most which is my 1st shop THE ONE I USE TO SHOWCASE MY HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY.
O.K. so I downloaded Google to be my 2nd browser since I have a google email account set up.  I only used it once or twice but I had it available already so that was a good direction to go.
Before I tell you all about my new shop I should tell you my need for a 2nd etsy shop.  I make Jewelry, you already know that, that is what I sell in my ETSY SHOP.  In order to stock my beads I order an abundance so I can get the best price.  The more I buy the better the price.  So I do buy lots of beads.  The den is full of beads.  Now my Husband is nice about the stacks of containers in the den.  He only says "let's build more shelves".   Since He enables my habits by letting me control the checkbook, taking me to the bead stores and telling me to go ahead and put in that almost $300.00 order for beads what else could He say.  SIDE NOTE ... NICE GUY!   So I have lots of beads that I don't necessarily need in the quantity I have but my ETSY SHOP is for selling Jewelry and there is not enough sections to divide between Jewelry Pieces and Jewelry Supplies.  NEW SHOP idea hatching now.
I did push that thought back for a while and tried to make due with just my JEWELRY SHOP.  Although I do have enough sections for just Jewelry Pieces and the occasional card that my daughter Sara makes to sell.  I was combining all the Jewelry Supplies I had to sell into just 1 section.  I was getting frustrated with renaming sections and moving items from 1 section to another.  I was thinking more and more about that other shop.  A shop to sell jewelry supplies.  It was sounding better all the time.  SO I DID IT ... I TOOK THE PLUNGE ... OPENED ANOTHER ETSY SHOP.
The New Shop is called MARCENZJEWELSUPPLIES  the name broken down in this, my name is Marcene, to own something you add  " 's " ... that is not going to show up but the letter Z makes the same sound as " 's " so I changed the last letter in my name to a "Z".  The second part was a mistake on my part.  I was playing with words and spellings.  Do I want Jewelry?  Do I want Supply or Supplies?   So I asked for help in the threads I frequent and I got help.  The name was good but I was excited and my hands were cold (I keep the heat turned down).  I started typing, filling out the page with all the information needed to open MarcenzJewelrySupplies but I mistyped from the back spacing and retyping to correct my errors.  What I actually typed was  MarcenzJewelSupplies.  I thought I had everything I wanted spelled out right there in the name.  At first glance I did not notice no "ry" in the word jewelry was missing.  I did not notice until after I clicked the save button. Now the name of my new shop on etsy is  MarcenzJewelSupplies.
Lots of beads and charms and earwire and special items to add to bracelets.  So much for my Jewelry Supply Shop.  I have already had 6 sales.  It doesn't matter the size or amount of the sale.  I just opened my new shop on etsy and it is looking good.
By the way it is a little confusing keeping track of which shop is in which BNR and I have miss posted using the wrong shop.  But I'll get it with practice and keeping them separate in the browsers.  
Google browser gets MarcenzJewelSupplies
Firefox browser gets MY JEWELRY SHOP: MARCENEBT99
Now I just need to get you to visit BOTH shops
Come on by, let me know you visited.  I do accept offers.
Have a good day .... Now I think I will make a Treasury or Two (I will post them at the bottom of the page)
