Spring is in the Air













I had to write another blog about the brooches because I've started a new batch! Bright, beautiful, and welcoming the new season! Spring coloured brooches for one and all :)
I sold the collection of brooches I had to the 8th Day a week ago so I had to start a new batch. They have been going quite well considering they are just sitting in a basket on the counter. So my new batch are as bright as can be and awaiting homes and outfits to dazzle and complete! I have had so much fun photographing these little items. My new digital camera is chalked full of photographs of various brooches. I am so pleased with the macro settings on the camera! You can get within an inch of the subject and obtain amazing crispness and quality. How great is that?

Well it excites me anyways! And so do customers!!! I have finally had some sales on Etsy! Hooray!! Two customers with repeated sales! Sounds good to me! My first buyer was Jenny, who runs IndieQuarter (http://www.indiequarter.com/blog/index.php). She purchased a small brooch from me a few weeks back and still hasn't received the package!!

Because of this she purchased another brooch (this time a large one) which I sent off yesterday. I hope she gets both of them soon!!! Here are some photos of her purchases :) She wanted to stick to browns, like her first purchase (on the left), but I chose to use some rich, dark browns for her second (on the right) to give her some variation. I hope she likes them! My second customer is the lovely Julie of SiohbansDreams (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5304688). She bought one brooch, then special requested three more! What a wonderful gal :) Here are her brooches, as requested. My favourite one is the blue brooch (to go with her denim jacket) but I really like the black, white, and grey one as well. Especially because of the fab polka-dot vintage button in the middle. Tres bien.
If you, reader, are interested in special requesting any brooches, please visit my shop on etsy!! The link is at the top of the page :) I would be more than happy to make whatever colour variation you like (limited to three variations per brooch) with or without super duper buttons! hehehe. Ideally I would like to take some special requests for scarves so I can weave like a mad woman but I won't get too picky here :) hehehe.

THANKS FOR VISITING!!! Sorry I haven't been blogging steadily, I have been on brooch duty for a few weeks! See you soon!

Firstly, that rich chocolate brown brooch, I nearly died when I saw it.
Secondly, I *did* die when I saw the polka dot one. Girl, I admit it, I am obsessed with (black and white esp) Polka Dots.
Thirdly, breathe.
You're sooooo amazing!
