Corsages Everywhere

Well, it's school ball time again and I've been busy making my corsages. Lucky I love making them. Of course when you're onto something good the supplier decides to delete the most popular item. Oh well, I've been wanting to create other designs, so this might force my hand. Look for new corsage designs coming soon to Amron Jewels.

My silk flower corsages are always popular because they never wilt in the hot weather and are perfect as a keepsake of the special evening. The clear Swarovski crystal centres sparkle and accessorise perfectly with any gown. The friendship bracelet is extendable and made of delica seed beads. Also available are matching buttonholes for the young men.

Made on the Left Supply Swap

Made on the Left are having a supply swap this Sunday. I just had to be there to help clear out some of the stuff I have still piled up here at home since closing the store. So, if you're after a bargain and want to pick up some other crafty items going cheap, make sure you're there.

When? This Sunday January 9 upstairs at The Saint hotel, 2 Morris Road, Innaloo. Catch me any time between 9.30am and 2pm. I'm taking a couple of tubs filled with jars. I figure it's a great way to deal with some of this extra stuff here and a good way to help promote my new online venture Amron Jewels. Hope to see you there.

Plodding Along

It's been exciting launching the new website Amron Jewels. Loads of people have given me feedback and I've had sales, but it's still a learning curve, which feels like a steep hill. That's why I am plodding along.

For those who keep asking me, yes I am putting my Genuine Swarovski crystals online, I just wasn't going to do it so soon. But after the huge response to Amron Jewels website I've been adding the Swarovski crystals for my beading customers. Make sure you check out Amron Jewels for current updates and I'm offering great discounts if you buy in bulk, with free postage if you spend $30 or more in one transaction.

Because I've been spending so much time adding the Swarovski crystals to the website, in the middle of the Christmas rush and planning to get away for a few days, I haven't had any time for creating jewellery. But there are many designs coming soon.

Hopefully, the few days I have away with my family will refresh me to be all ready for more action when I return. Please note any orders made on Amron Jewels between 28th December - 2nd January will be despatched on my return. Have a lovely time with your family over the holidays.

Amron

Web site launched today.

Launched my web site today. Amron Jewels is now live. It was terrifying and exciting all at one time. I have heaps more jewels to upload. There is still lots of work to do.

I've decided to keep my jewels separate from my beads. So beads and findings will be offered to you through my Amron Jewels ebay store only. All beads and findings on my ebay store are free of postage & shipping costs within Australia. So, keep your eye on the store or make it a favourite.

Now that the Amron Jewels website is up and running I will be spending more time on tidying up and organizing the Amron Jewels ebay store properly, lots more to upload there but will take a little time.

If there is something you know I had in the store and you'd like to purchase just email me through Amron Jewels ebay store or through amron.jewels@hotmail.com.

Frustration

Frustration is the only word I have for what is happening as far as my website goes. I'm waiting and waiting for the web guy to get something done, give me access, or just anything. I want to sell my jewellery supplies to you, my good customers, but my hands are tied up with all this waiting.

Anyway, I thought I'd post this message and let you know to just send me an email, on amron2121@hotmail.com, or contact me through Facebook. Most of you know what I have. If you aren't sure just ask me. We can arrange postage or whatever works for you. Let me know.

Meanwhile, I will try to see if I can get things moving a bit quicker as far as having a website to sell my goods to you.

Crystal Cuff with Slight Ruffle

I made this cuff for a customer who wanted it to match a particular gorgeous top. The thing was, once we got outside the colour of the blue zircon Swarovski crystals looked completely different and were not a great match for the top. I ended up using three shades of the Swarovski crystals; amethyst, tanzanite & purple velvet to make her another cuff, which she loved. I can make this in any colour combination you choose. Send me an email if you'd like one in another combination. This one fits a 14.5cm wrist. I also have the beads & findings for this bracelet available to buy separately. I hope you like it.

The Perth Craft & Quilt Fair

Phew! What a week it was at the Perth Craft & Quilt Fair. Set up was stressful. I had girls helping me running late. All those last minute things that just go wrong, too. But after all was said and done I had a good busy week. I suppose I'd like to have sold more, but overall it was an experience I thoroughly enjoyed.

There were new contacts made, loads of goods sold and new beading friends to share ideas with. Although, I felt exhausted at the end of the week, it helped me to focus on what exactly I want to do so far as selling online.

I'll be scrapping the etsy idea and focus only on my website: Amron Jewels; and updating Facebook and this blog.
