Swap me, sell me, chai me.

May 20th, 2008

I closed my Etsy shop (again) because I haven’t sold anything (again). And I’ve got all of the jewelry that’s made and lovely. And I want someone to be wearing it. You know, I can’t wear it all all the time. And I’m pretty sure my friends are about to get sick of getting new jewelry for every gift-giving occasion (and some random Tuesdays in the mail).

Now, I’m not at all sure about how to do this, but I’ve got a bunch of really groovy jewelry that would really like a nice home. I can’t afford to give it all away because I’ve got an investment in the materials. But by that same token, I’m ready to be surrounded by new pieces.

So here goes… I’m going to post pictures of the pieces that I have made and ready. If you see something you like, let me know. I’m not listing any prices.

If you make something, we’ll swap. Jendi and I are already swapping. She’s making a jeans bag for me out of THE cutest pair of Eliza jeans you’ve ever seen. And Kellie and I are swapping. So, come on, now, don’t you wanna play, too?

If you wanna name your price, fine. If you wanna pay me in Starbucks cards, ALL the better. If you wanna give me a really amazing story about why you need groovy jewelry but can’t afford it right now, I’m pretty sure you’re going to end up with groovy jewelry.

That’s the deal. Leave a comment. Tell your friends. Happy Tuesday.
