Treasury - Mystery of the Black Lace

It's been a long time since any of my items have been selected to be part of a treasury. Thus I am so thrilled to get a convo from VintageLegacyStudio telling me that my Black Lace Drop earrings have been included in her "Mystery of the Black Lace" treasury. The treasury features a collection of items that uses black laces or have intricate designs similar to black lace.


Here are some of my favorites.

1. Black Lace - Stalactite ... Crochet Necklace by irregularexpressions
   This necklace is BEAUTIFUL! I never knew crochet items can be so elegant and chic. I used to associate crochet with grannies.. but never again after stumbling upon this beauty.
   
   
   
   
2. Sterling silver black lace earrings by hilarykoster
   These earrings are so chic. I love the use of black lace (something so vintage, traditional) paired with something so modern and chic for everyday wear.
   
   
3. Vintage Black Lace Drops by Me
   Last but not least.. my very own Vintage Black Lace Drops. These earrings are always with me whenever I wear something Black (which is most of the time). I love them as the intricate lace designs are engraved onto a clear acrylic background. Beautiful earrings that will last a lifetime.
   
   

NEW Collection - RAINBOW DROPS

Here's a sneak peak into my new collection for October... It's called RAINBOW DROPS. The collection features a series of earrings made from acrylic flower beads with Swarovski pearls available in black, clear and rainbow colors. Watch out for the necklaces in the next feature.

Missed featuring it in the last newsletter as I was waiting for the full set of supplies to arrival.. Nevertheless, here they are.. Hope you'll love them..

Ps : The results from my Newsletter (see Mailchimp) was ENCOURAGING! About 2/5 of recipients opened the newsletter. However I got 2 SALES from my previous customers which was great 'cos it implies that they have read the newsletter and purchase from me again!

Ok... back to the new collection.

First Official Newsletter

It's here! I just did up a VERY first official newsletter for my Etsy Shop! And it's FREE. I did it via Mailchimp. It's really easy to use and there are lots of help via easy to understand videos etc.

Here's a snapshot of my first newsletter! What do you think?

New Ad

It has been a very fulfilling week as I have been quite busy with the shop. I just signed up a new ad contract with a local magazine "Chic" for 6 issues. Here's the ad that they have done up for me for FREE! Superb don't you think? The first issue will be out late Oct. *cross my fingers that it will all go well*

Have you tried placing an ad in a magazine.. Do share your experience and comments.

Hello. My Name is ......

Noticed recently that there are quite a number of sellers who named their jewelry after a person's name. Sometimes there is a correlation between the product and its name but sometimes it doesn't or not explained. Do you think it's more personal to own a piece of jewelry with a name? Does it add to its personality?

I recently just named my very first pair of earrings... Her name is Alice.

Here.. come and meet my other friends, Sophie, Amy and Carrie.... :)

Lock it Up....

Lockets.. they are everywhere... Have you noticed? I think they are so hot right now. I love the brass ones best. I think lockets have a very intriguing charm as they are meant to keep photos of your loved ones like secrets.

Here's my picks at the latest lockets..
