New Bracelets in the shop

I say an early Happy September, it is only a day and half away.  Today was a day off filled with alot of projects. I delivered Avon, bought some groceries, and posting pictures of new items and posting updated pictures of items already on the site.

I added three new bracelets to the shop.  I have had alot of traffic on the site but no sales.  I am hoping adding a few new things spark some interest and purchases.  The updated pictures were an improvement over what I had done.  I think the new photos are going to help.

In the blink of an eye

Wow, things have changed since my last post only 2 weeks ago. I have a new job starting tomorrow. The last job was okay, I think the people I worked with were the best part of the job, but it was not a job to be a main source of income. The new job will be, and I say this with just a little trepidation, full time and more money. Definitely more money. One of the good parts of the job will be that I will get a discount on items I need to grow my Etsy.com business. Have you been to my store on Etsy.com. Just to to www.lindagilljones.etsy.com. It is a great store with bead bracelets, and I will be adding more.

Speaking of Etsy! My circle and favorites keep growing. I am now a member of 4 teams and contribute to the conversation regularly. It helps to keep you name and shop out there. I have found that making treasury lists are very helpful in getting attention for you shop as well, so I try to make at least one treasury a day.

On the Avon side, well not so great. Avon is changing some of its fees and earnings so I don't think I will be continuing with that much longer. But with the new job I may meet people who would be interested in buying from me. We'll see. In the meantime you can check out the current catalog and order at my website, www.youravon.com/lgill-jones.

I continue to make more bracelets for stock, I hope to be able to get out to some craft shows in the Fall and early Winter. I have some tax formalities to deal with first before I get to that point. I will keep you updated.

Happy August

It is amazing how time goes by so fast.  I had my 90 day review at work the other day; it certainly did not feel as if 90 days had gone by already.  I had no doubt I would not do well, but it really wasn't a review as I know it.  It was more of a pass/fail thing.  I passed.  It just means they are not going to fire me at this time.  I continue to look for full-time work and I do have a call to set up an interview for a full-time position, things may be looking up.  Keep your fingers crossed. 

My store on Etsy.com, lindagilljones.etsy.com, is growing and gaining more views.  I have sold 3 bracelets that were on the site and 2 that did not even make it to the site.  My sister bought those, but they are sales.  Here are a couple bracelets that are available.

The Fall collection is shaping up nicely.  The collection is an eclectic mix of styles and colors.  My husband even went bead shopping with me and picked out a few beads and gave me some great ideas.  Please take a look at my shop, you may find something you like.

Well, just a short update right now.
