It's a Mad House

Photobucket

You would not believe how mad it's been just this last month. Once I decided to close the Amron Bead Shop, it was on. 40% off all stock was enough to drive people, in droves, to my store, many for the first time, as well as loads of regular customers telling me how sad they were to see me go. All of them spending heaps of money and time in the store.

I can't say I'm sad. I've hardly had a moment to draw breath, let alone express any emotion about leaving the store after five years. This month of being rushed off my feet has sealed the deal. Taking the leftover stock to the upcoming Perth Craft & Quilt Fair, my soon to open web page - Amron Jewels, and to my Etsy store, also known as Amron Jewels, I'm looking forward to setting my own hours running my online business.

All of this is new to me. I'm diving head first into the whole world of the internet. It's like learning the rules to a new game and coming up against better players. I understand I'm more likely to be left with no one wanting me on their team. I have a lot to learn. But I hope you can help me on my journey as I discover how this all works.

I'll be sure to update you when everything begins. Please follow me on Twitter or Facebook to find out when stock is available online. Thanks for reading.

My First Post



I enjoy hand making unique jewellery, just like this silk flower wrist corsage. The flower centres are Swarovski crystals and comes on a hand beaded friendship bracelet. The effect is stunning, especially for weddings or school balls. I've been making these with the crystals to match the gowns. They're proving a popular choice since I first created this idea.

In the photo (below) you can see the hand beaded friendship bracelet made of crystal delicas, and the extension chain with an elegant drop bead. These wrist corsages are available in your choice of colour for the Swarovski crystal centres and will be available soon on my new etsy store: Amron Jewels, which will be opening soon.
