Preparing my Fall Line and for a Jewelry Party!
Welcome to Fall, Y'all! It's been a busy season in the Bead Up world, as I have been spending alot of my free time preparing for a jewelry party a friend is hosting for me in less than a month! This past weekend I got the invitations I designed in the mail (I did the text and my sorority sister Mary Ellen did the awesome illustration - make sure you check out her site!) I am really pleased with how they look!
I passed about two dozen out to people at church yesterday alone, and am going to mail about two dozen more out and give the other 80 postcards to my co-sponsor Cheryl of Cupcakinitup! and the host of the event, Marla! Cupcakinitup! and I also spent a good part of Saturday taste testing chocolate frosting for the event, attending a decorating demo at Michaels, and choosing cupcake liners (pink zebra stripped!). I can't tell you how much fun this whole event has already been! At this point I have made over 100 necklaces and earrings for the event, yet my to-do list still seems endless! Anyone have any jewelry party ideas/tips that they would like to share? :)
And to add to the fun, yesterday I got an e-mail asking if I would like to be a featured vendor at a local Christian school's Christmas fundraising event in December. Would I? Sign me up! Now I have even more of a reason to create in bulk!
That said, it's been hard deciding what to post on Etsy and what to save for my party. I have decided to at least have my whole front page on Etsy be items from my Fall Line, so here are another 5 items I added today (all bird themed)! Let me know what you think!

ReplyDeleteYes it is, Lin! Would love to have you come up from the OC to attend - and then we can meet, too! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're breaking out of your shell, my friend. Just remember us small people when you become rich and famous! =)
ReplyDeleteThis party is gonna rock!! I LOVE those tiny flowers! I feel like I keep saying that... but they're absolutely adorable :-)
ReplyDeleteYour jewelry is quite unique. I like all of it. And I'm someone who doesn't generally like jewelry.
ReplyDeleteYours is different. Great job!
