Hi, don`t be surprised that I mention Christmas. It is October after all, and as craftspeople, unfortunately, we have to think months ahead to keep up with markets etc. I was thinking perhaps we could share some Christmas jewellery ideas - themes, pikkies, previous success stories. What do you think? Here`s a photo of some basic earrings I made last year.

Thats really cute Annie. I think white and red jewellery would be nice..the colours of santa I 100% agree that you need to get ready early for Christmas. We lost so much sale due to out of stock items last year because we thought that ordering stock 1 month prior would give us sufficient time. To our horrow a lot of the items we wanted to bring in was out of stock and our manufacturers couldn`t deliver in time due to overwhelming demand. Lesson learned, always prepare early for Christmas. It`s the merriest and busiest time of the year

I just posted some beautiful wirewrapped red & white dangles and blue and white danglers I made and sold within a week. I was quite please with the way they turned out. The design was pretty simple and the way they turned out was gorgeous. I need to put aside some more time and work on making some more. Here`s a pix of Simply Red & White....the blue and white pair are also displayed in my gallery. Have a great day! Pat

I love the green rondelles on your Christmas Glitz. We`re in the middle of a 4 day stall in a Kmart plaza and Christmas jewellery is catching everyones` eye. I sold this totally white necklace this evening. Perfect for that special Christmasy outfit.
