I started my own jewelry business in April of 2012 called Entwined Creations and have been struggling to get the tools and supplies needed to make my business as successful as I know it can be. So many people are interested in my creations and I would love to be able to adapt and create new pieces. The tools needed are not extremely expensive individually but when combined are more than I can afford in any reasonable time frame. As a result I am trying to raise some money for the things I need to get started successfully. If you can help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated! If you are unable to help, your support is also a great gesture. Although my website is not 100% complete, it is in the process and you are welcome to go and sign up for the newsletter!
Yesterday I went to Beach Crafter's, which is the store that is going to carry my jewelry in Long Beach, CA. I thought it would be a good idea to go and look and see what it was like and what I would need to set up my display. It was neat, there were some really talented artists. Everything from bags made from men's ties, hand dyed scarves and handmade pottery to quilts and different jewelry. The owner told me about first Fridays, which is a street fair that happens the first Friday of every month right on the street outside the store. She said they get a lot of traffic. After checking it out I decided I am going to rent a 4 x 4 spot which will cost $80/mo. I had to go get a table of some kind, so yesterday I went around to a bunch of thrift stores and finally found the perfect table at a local Goodwill. It is a drop leaf table, so the ends fold over and then this particular table has three leafs in the center...it means this table can adjust from 2 ft. to 7 ft.depending on what pieces you use. It also is real wood and can be refinished. It was an awesome score!! It is a perfect table for just about every situation, the best part is it was only $39.99! I have decided that I am going to set up my table similar to what I had the set up look like for the boutique. Here are the pictures from the boutique table that I set up (http://tarakins42.livejournal.com/148871.html) Do you all have any suggestions of things I should change or make look different or do you think it looks good the way it was?!
I like taking personality quizzes so I went ahead and took this one and I thought I would post it if anyone else is interested. I took the Myer Briggs Personality test at this link http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=16567335035599898597 and then when I got my results I went to the top of this page and selected my letter combination to see what it said about me http://www.davidmarkley.com/personality/personhome.htm. It is really accurate, here is my personality type:
