It was a busy weekend for me and for poor George, my trusty sidekick. We had a table at the Medford Arts Fair on Saturday. It was an all day event, sponsored by Medford Open Studios, and it was a big hit! The weather could not have been nicer. It was 76 degrees and sunny. Occasionally a gust would come through and threaten to tip the whole tent and table over, but that never happened, and it kept things exciting.
I met a lot of really terrific people and had a whole lot of fun sharing my jewelry with everyone. Many people bought necklaces and earrings and my inventory is quite depleted. But I have lots of new ideas and can't wait to get started making some new things. I am in the market for real jade, since one lady would like more earrings in that stone, and I will work on that tomorrow. It would be fun to make a necklace with peridot and jade I think, colors that seem to collide in a very striking way.
One little problem that I am having, and which is bothering me, is that my Ebay feedback is not working. I have only received one comment out of all the things I have sold. Ebay left a system wide message that they were having trouble with feedback for some sellers, and I guess I am one. Today on my way to work, I realized that not hearing feedback from buyers is a little like giving someone a present and never hearing a word from them. It just leaves a little "hole" of doubt, whether they liked the item or not. So, I'm suffering a little with that problem, and have sent an email off to customer support to see if they can help. I found a new setting on the digital camera that seems to show the jewelry better in my "photo studio" on the dining room table, so I relisted a few things this morning bright and early.
Today is Monday and a long day for me at work, so I have to put my jewelry hat aside and wear my work-a-day public relations hat today.
I hope you all have a lovely day.
