'Pay Now' on Facebook

I just discovered the 'Pay Now' tab on my Lucky Heart fan page. I think this is just so cool! I added all of my inventory with prices and discriptions and customers or facebook fans can click and buy right there with Paypal. Hopefully this will increase sales because it is so convenient. Has anyone used this, either buying or selling?

Facebook Ads

I had started a fan page on Facebook for my jewelry a while back and had been wanting to try their advertising for a while. I am still not sure how, or if it worked. I started with a two day ad and put my max pay per day at $5. I think I only got one new fan and it cost me about $13. It was worth checking out but I dont think I will try it again for a while. Maybe I need some tips. Anyone tried Facebook ads?

Here is my newest earring...

Gold fill wire wrapped tear drops outlined with tiny pearls and a pretty blue chalcedony hanging in the center.

Make Your Cake POP!

I just love baking and when it is this cute, who can resist? Bakerella's blog has the greatest ideas and recipies. She was even featured on Martha Stewart for her super cute Cake Pops. Of course, I forgot to take pictures of my own cupcake bites! They were cute, and a huge hit, but she is definatly way more talented than I am! These tiny cupcakes were pretty time consuming, but not hard, to make. They were worth the trouble though because, since the icing was mixed in with the cake, they were sooooo moist and tasty. I even mailed some to my mom and sisters. I forgot that they had given up sweets for Lent though :( They froze them and ate them after Easter and said they were still amazing! Save this for a rainy day, it does take some time, but you and your friends and family will just love them.

Creative Displays

I have been searching for different and creative ways to display my jewelry at shows and just for pictures. There are some really cool ideas out there. I really like the displays that aren't just neck forms but items that are reused to show off the jewelry in a really cool way, like the vases. What are some other ways you have used to display your jewelry or other items at shows?

Great Baby Gift

I have a friend who is about to have her second baby. I have seen some cute little personalized onsies on Etsy that I just love. Since I wont be having a baby anytime soon, I will just buy these cute things for my friends who do have babies! Check out her shop

LuckyHeart Overhaul

Ok, time for a make-over! I really want to start putting more effort into my jewelry and I think that my marketing materials are a good place to start. I got a new Etsy banner, avatar, business cards and other goodies from a great fellow Etsy seller. You can check her out on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/craftygraphics. I highly recomend her work, she is great and very fast.

So, with my look I thought I would make a pair of earrings that go along with my new color theme.
