I've been laying low the past couple of days trying to get everything ready for the BIG SALE! I always forget how much work goes into these online sales. Taking pictures, retaking pictures, editing pictures, uploading, taking measurements, writing descriptions, posting... for HUNDREDS of pieces... it's quite engulfing.
The plan was to launch the BIG SALE tomorrow, but I forgot that I have jury duty. I pray that I don't get selected, because that'd throw an even bigger monkey wrench in everything. It has already displaced the BIG SALE and therefore made it conflict with my birthday get together. I'll have to temporary cancel it and try to reschedule for when I get back from Hawaii. I can't have folks come over in the midst of such chaos... the apartment looks like an antique shop and a bead shop exploded and covered every horizontal surface. I'm determined to have at least a few more get togethers in New York though.
In other news, Heather Trudeau (aka The Peacock Fairy) just posted on her blog about the Charm Club I hosted earlier this year. She even included pictures of pieces that she's working on that include some of the things I sent along. CLICK HERE to check it out.Honestly, I was hesitant about doing another Charm Club. Life threw a lot of curve balls the last go around, and although it was rewarding to have a set goal of making things... it was also incredibly frustrating trying to make EVERYTHING balance out and still make good work. No one could have foreseen all of the obstacles that popped up unexpectedly. (Thankfully the participants were as patient as saints.) HOWEVER, after seeing what Heather's done with her pieces, I think I might give it another try. It's just a question of timing. One hurdle at a time.
Right now the goal is to launch the BIG SALE this Thursday. I'll be adding things daily or as space allows. The sale will run for two weeks. (Yep, I've got that much stuff!) I'll be posting even while I'm gone at the Soft Flex Company Glass Art & Bead Festival - Honolulu, HI. Shipping will begin AFTER I return.
