Ask and you shall RECEIVE

(ring pictured here is available in Margaret Kelly's Shop)

Awesome shopper that I am (check my previous entry about supplies), I'm still not perfect, (sigh).

So, I decided to go to the Etsy Forums for help....

My Question: Where to buy affordable ring blanks.

And, good news! A lovely lady by the name of Margaret Kelly responded. Margaret was nice enough to take the time to provide me with some excellent advice and refer me to several Etsy supply shops - some that she has purchased from and some she hasn't.

To show my appreciation I wanted to ask everyone to check out her awesome Etsy shop.

Margaret is a fellow Etsian.

She sells her own handcrafted jewelry,

vintage jewelry, and jewelry supplies.

Supplies Shopping

Ok, I admit it, I love to shop. And, when it's from the convenience of my own home, in my living room while the kids are playing, it's even more enjoyable!!

The last few days where a whirlwind of web surfing trying to ferret out superior, affordable, jewellery supplies. My search took me across Canada and into the States. I looked at dozens of sites - some were easy and enjoyable to navigate. Others were a royal pain in the tush. BUT, I did score some great deals.

Here were some of my best finds, in my humble opinion :o)

I still find it pretty disapointing that I haven't found a great Canadian supplier. Can anyone out there direct to me a great Canadian site with affordable supplies?????

My Life Today

I love the design and creating part of making jewellery..... finding places to sell is the HARD part!!!!

I've decided to devote a large part of my immediate future to increasing my advertising, public exposure, marketing and wholesale opportunities.

Wish me luck!!
