Handmade@Amazon

I decided to give Handmade@Amazon a try....soooo....in addition to Etsy and my original website, I now am selling on Amazon. Handmade is new on Amazon for small businesses creating handmade products.

Please take a look. Selling handmade jewelry is no easy task since it is a touchy, feely thing. There is quite a bit of competition online and at shows. I have been giving my best to learn more about SEO and marketing.

Ocean Grove Giant Craft Show 2013

If you are in the area of Ocean Grove, NJ plan to attend this craft show! I have been a vendor and customer for years at this fantastic show. This year I will be on of the vendors so please stop by and give me a shout out! I will have a banner on top of my canopy with ~ To Be Me Jewelry ~ on it.



Craft Show in Avon By The Sea, NJ ~ July 14, 2012

Hi Beadheads!

 If you plan to visit the Jersey Shore the weekend July 14th please visit To Be Me Jewelry in Avon, NJ. There will be a Craft Show on the Boardwalk in Avon By The Sea  ~ 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.  Rain date will be July 15th.  I love that Avon has a rain date...it's fair to the vendors. Many towns that offer craft shows do not give rain dates and do not return the fees to the vendors.

To Be Me Jewelry will have sea glass jewelry, lampwork bangles, and the famous Thought Waves Necklaces. All of my jewelry is handcrafted with good vibes. You will be able to pick great buys in sterling silver and gold-fill earrings, bracelets, necklaces, bangles.

It's a Bangle Kind of Season...don't ya think?

I've been going bangle crazy! A feeling in the air of warm weather brought me to my flip-flop senses and bangles! I love to wear my bangles in the summer. Here is what's up in my workshop at the moment. Not sure if they will all end up on To Be Me Jewelry  ~ so my dears if you see something in this photo let me know fast.

Inspiration Comes from the Craziest Places...Don't Ya Think?

I am always amazed at where and when inspiration aspires. Recently, I was walking the boards in Avon By the Sea, NJ I notice an array of colors that would make a perfect bracelet. I went home to see what bright color lampwork beads I had in my boxes. There is so much beauty to admire here at the Jersey shore but this day I picked out this….hah! Crazy, right?

AND...

Just to show you real beauty just on the left where I was standing to take this photo is this...

                                          Avon by the Sea, NJ a week before Memorial Day. Empty with a few locals. Next week this beach will be quite busy!

I walked over to Belmar's beach and captured these sweeties!

Where does YOUR inspiration come from? What do YOU do with it?

Sandy Beach Bangle

The inspiration for the Sandy Beach Bangle came from making the silver caps with my Pepe Disk cutter. After making the caps I sat looking at them trying to brainstorm a new bangle.

The Sandy Beach Bangle is a limited edition. Designed with sterling silver, goldfill, lampwork beads. The lampwork beads are light tan with tiny silver balls. Quite outstanding.
