so since it's so darn hot outdoors - as in from sunrise to long past sunset - we are staying close to home. trying to keep off facebook but you all know how that is - a great place to spend time if you can't pull yourself away from it! i've met tons of great new people over the past few months over there. some old friends and lots of new ones with similar interests to mine. you can't go wrong there!
oh yeah, so since it's blazing hot outside, we've been indoors and today i got a lot of work done in the bead department! A part of the house i don't spend too much time on anymore. We sell lots of frog necklaces on Etsy and when we have a sale, I try to list more new ones but I don't know - with my day job and these hot days I just don't have the power to do much etsy or bead stuff when I finish the day. I don't know how some people keep up with it and still stay sane! maybe i'm just extra lazy in the summertime? i don't know - it's been awhile since I lived in such a hot climate... let's see how the fall goes!
so today i collected a bunch of bead sets that have been sitting around the studio, waiting to be strung together and sent off to one of the shops we consign to back in Hunter Mountain, New York. I'm excited to get these bead sets out the door and hopefully into some happy, creative hands! They include lots of great beads and some of them I took down from our Etsy shop just because they've been there for awhile... It's nice to move stock around a bit I guess.
My mom (who is a painter) was actually in the gallery there in Hunter last week browsing around when she saw some women checking out beads. As she got closer to them, she realized they were ours! How cool is that? I don't know if they bought anything but it was nice to hear that people were checking them out. Etsy is great for selling our beads to people all over the world but it's also nice to sell to people in person. So that little story from my mom is what put the lighter under my tooshy to get a package together for that gallery. Because she spoke to the manager there and heard that they need more beads so ... here they come! I hope they all sell at once!
Let's hope tomorrow is a bit cooler than today! Goodnight from sweat-ville!
