Discover Something New: Metal Freak

http://www.etsy.com/shop/metalfreak?ref=pounce#

Discover Something New is back! And I want to introduce a NEAT shop that I ran across last night while browsing the amazing little website we call etsy.com. 

Here is what her blurb says when you first enter her shop:

“If you are a dreamer,come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!” ~ Shel Silverstein

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you find something you love!

As you can probably tell from her shop name she specializes in metal. To be more exact jewelry made out of metal and in this case I hope it is safe to say wire (although I could be wrong in that statement). Her jewelry is so unique and fashionable, I don't think you could go wrong with any of her pieces! Stop by her store and give her some love :)

Squiggle Bangle with Balls- $35.00

Coral Smile Earrings- $30.00

Funky Vegas Star Earrings- $50.00

Expedition Impossible

At the current moment, as I am writing this post, I am watching one of the newest shows I have found: Expedition Impossible. Its airs on ABC, Thursdays at 10/9c but I just watch it on Verizon Fios on Demand so I don't feel like I have to catch it every week. If anyone has seen The Amazing Race it is a lot like that but with a lot more extreme challenges. If you haven't seen it check it out!!

As well, I am so excited to have some new products lined up. All I have to do is take pictures of them. I have just taken a break cause sometimes taking photos just frustrates me so much sometimes :( I am not sure if I am the only one but the pictures I take never seem to turn out exactly how I want them. I just need to take a break and I will get back to that fun tomorrow :D

I hope everyone is staying cool and having a fantastic summer! Do you guys have any fun plans for summer or for your shop this summer?

Thanks so much for reading, I appreciate every single one of you!

If seven people meet each other and each shakes hands only once with each of the others, how many handshakes will there have been?

Think you know the answer??? Leave me a comment and the first person to get the right answer will be featured on my blog. Good luck!

Complete Overhaul

So I haven't blogged in a long time, which I apologize for, but I have a reason this time! :)

I am attempting to do a complete overhaul of my shop. New items, new pictures, new feel.

I have been contemplating changing my photos for a long time because I found them to be pretty boring and didn't match the feel I wanted to have in my shop. I decided on an idea that I have seen many miniature food stores do. They placed their items on small plates with colorful backgrounds. All I have to say is I am loving the new look. I have only photographed one of my items but I love it.

Its going to take me quite a while to rephotograph and upload all the pictures but I think it is going to be totally worth it.

As well as new photos I have made so many new items including donuts, cake, snow cones and tons of others. But what I am so excited about is what I am calling my "new line" of jewelry which is more adult-like I like to say. Here is a link to the first ring I have listed: http://www.etsy.com/listing/77278675/gorgeous-polymer-clay-rainbow-swirled?ref=v1_other_2.

Finally before I go back to my pictures I want to welcome all the new followers. I can't believe I am up to 70!! Wow!! As soon as I can get to it I want to look at all your guys blogs and follow back. Thanks for everything guys!!
