Selling myself

This is going to be tough for me but I am determined to spend more time and energy into making new things for my Etsy shop.

I haven't mentioned it to a lot of people but I haven't been working at my old job since December. I knew the time would eventually come but when it did I have to say that I was surprised and really saddened. I worked for the same company for about 7 years. I grew and learned a lot there.

For over 5 of those years I worked for a wonderful man that had a heart of gold. He treated me like I was family. After he suddenly died I found myself working for his wonderful daughter. I was with her until she was forced to sell the business. Which made us all really sad.

Under the new owners I was determined to hang in there and keep the business going the way Ed had intended. But in the end it didn't work out that way.

So I am spending my time and energy trying to create wonderful things to put in my shop to not only keep me busy, but help make up the income we lost. I know that people that are really successful at this type of thing really sell themselves and their products. This is where it gets hard for me. I just don't carry that gene.

So bear with me here and on facebook when I post my new stuff because I will be successful at this.

I hope. (that's my old self talking :)

So go buy some cool stuff. digadig

Don't forget if you're local you can get my necklaces and naugahyde hair clips at Otto in Fullerton.

  1. Dear my fave girl, I need more felt barrettes. Can you put some in ur shop? I love the flower one fin is wearing but flowers don't quite work for the 35 year old or nearly 35 year old.
    Your biggest fan, jennie
