The Fun Is Continuous!


Making necklaces is one of my spare time activities.  I have so much fun.  Besides, the creative outlet offered satisfies my creative cravings.

 

In reality, I thought I would make a necklace from time to time.  I had no schedule that I needed to maintain.

And, the reality is that I do not have a definite schedule, but…I seem to be making creations constantly, daily.

Ideas pop into my head.  Something unrelated to necklaces results in a new necklace design.  The purchase of a new bead immediately gets my creative juices flowing.

 

I market my necklaces as ‘Simply Stated’ and one-of a kind.  I will not make duplications.  A customer purchasing a unique, one-of-a- kind product will get that one-of-a kind product.

 

I have created close to 150 different necklaces, to date, in one year since starting this new venture.

 

My variations appeal to a wide range of preferences.  I like the challenge to meet the needs of many.

 

I know I can continue.  I will continue.

 

The possibilities are endless!

 

I invite you to keep revisiting my Etsy site to see my latest creations. You just never know when your  ’got to have’  necklace will appear.  And, I am confident it will one day if it has not already been added to my inventory. 

 

But, remember…I make one-of-a-kind necklaces.  Once a necklace sells, you will not see it offered again!


Note:  To see the necklaces currently for sale, always check my Etsy site - as necklaces sell, those listed in my blog here, Stillmountain Serenity, may no longer be available.

Happiness


I really enjoy creating  beaded necklaces.

Every day or nearly so, I add another one or two unique necklaces to my ‘for sale’ inventory I have on my Etsy website.  See etsy.com/shop/MtnGlen.









 

If I did not have to cook, do laundry, garden, can/freeze food, clean the house (that’s debatable), sleep…I would probably spend a majority of my time beading new necklaces.  I have that much fun!

 
So far, my sales success has been lean.  I would love to sell more necklaces just so that I can purchase more beads to provide more diverse choices as I create each piece.  But,  I will take slow sales to no sales.

The feedback I received has been complimentary.  I agree with the customer who wrote back saying that my necklaces are prettier in person.  I agree.  No matter the quality of the photo, nothing is better than having the actual necklace in hand for determining the exact color, the feel, the overall sensation. 



Etsy provides the outlet that currently fits my needs. 

 
Perhaps, one day, I can venture out to a more hands-on venue like a craft fair. 

Until then, I will keep enjoying the process and the time I take to create. 

 After all, happiness is priceless!
