Psst. Come closer. Let me tell you a secret…so, I make all this jewelry, but guess what? I’m really not that girlie! I have a pair of gold-filled hoops I made that get worn all the time and that is about it. I find that awfully funny, don’t you?
While I love all my pieces, this trait of mine really helps me to not keep everything I make. This is a good thing since I know I wouldn’t wear them on a regular basis.
As it turns out, one of this week’s EtsyBlogger’s Street Team blog carnival topic is “Loving the Craft”. So, I’m going to show you a few pieces that I have kept because I absolutely loved them and some that I would have kept if I had some place to wear them:
These I just made for a friend for her birthday. If I had more moonstone coins, I totally would have kept this pair.
These sat on my desk for months before I could make myself post them in the shop. As you can see, they went quickly.
These earrings are so springy and I wear so much green. I kept pulling them out of storage and almost claiming them for myself. But as you can see they are still available in the shop!
This is such a great summer necklace that goes with so many things. Maybe I should make another one for the shop.
These almost never made it to my mother in law’s for Christmas. I should probably make my own pair now as I still love them so.
These I kept. Mine…all mine!
Yet another necklace I absolutely adored. The original one sold, but there is another one still available!
Finally, another wardrobe staple that I totally forgot about. My personal pair is now a lovely shade of black from all the oxidization. With a quick polish, they always look beautiful. Of course, if you’d like your own pair, these are also still available in the shop while my supplies last.
How about you? What pieces could you almost not part with and what have you kept for yourself?
Luckily I sell mostly prints, so I can always keep one for myself. I would have a very hard time listing anything if I sold jewelry as pretty as yours though.
::blush:: Thank you for such a nice compliment.
Beautiful! My faves are #3, #5, and #8. #8 are perfect everyday earrings :)
Thanks for participating in the carnival!
