Queen's Day - The Aftermath

Queen's Day was a succes. I could have sold more, perhaps, but I already earned much more money than I expected. Then again, it was a flea market and people don't expect to buy jewellery for a bit more (I did lower my prices very much for this special 'first selling' occasion). However, I do expect a different buying pattern on my webshop (and people with (more) different tastes) so I'm not going to let this lead my thoughts on, about what kind of jewellery to make. I just want to make things I like myself, you know. ;) (No worries about that though!)

Anyway, here's a picture!

This is somewhere at the end of the day so the stand is a bit messy.

I know, I know, I was trying to sell way too much things at the same time, people barely looked through the baskets with jewellery. Oh well, better next time ;)

I learnt a lot this day!
- make the stand less crowded
- more difference in height
- more things on display
- hang up jewellery (like I did on the photograph, I only did this after a few hours)
- take with me a nice rug or something to put underneath the stand so I can crawl to the other side (since I could barely walk around the stands next to me)
- make better price cards
- get little paper bags to put in what people buy (even if it is just because it looks nice!)
- get more stand-space
- take with me a little table so I don't have to put junk on the stand, it looks very messy (and makes the stand even more crowded)
- the stand/display needs to be more clear, things need to be seen better
- make a few big signs, for example with my website and that all things are handmade
- always bring the boyfriend with me, he knows how to talk.
etc

Jewellery on display!

Today my dad made me a jewellery display (for earrings). I love it to bits!
It still needs to be painted black though. I actually like the original colour a lot, but because of soldering the parts together the metal is stained, which I don't like in a jewelry display I'll probably use for selling stuff.

Anyway, the creating of this jewellery display gave a great opportunity to show off some of the earrings I made during the last 6 months. ^^

From my private collection:

Other (these actually are for sale):

Enjoy :) And please let me know what you think about them. I just occasionally mess around with beads. In my own opinion, at least half of these earrings are a bit dull. I'm an artist! I should be more creative. Think outside the box. Hmm...
