I'm lagging...

I have this brand new blog and am not being very good at making posts a priority. There's just so many other things going on that I don't think about adding content on a regular basis, which needs to change or nobody will want to read this :)

What's new with me? I had a bridal show at the Pleasanton Fairgrounds on Feb 10th. It went very well and it validated my feelings about focusing in the bridal jewelry market. Here's a photo of my booth.

My target market consists of custom jewelry for the brides and working with them to match the perfect set to their attire. It also includes jewelry for the bridal party (i.e. matching crystal or pearl necklaces) to be given as gifts or purchased individually. I'm also designing tiaras and combs. These are equally exciting for me because of their unique nature and endless design styles and color combinations. Check out my website http://www.lindadavisdesigns.etsy.com/ to see some of my pieces. There are also hair pins too.

My next endeavor is to market to the bridal stores in the area and when the weather gets better to attend some local Farmers Markets. I know in my heart that I'm in the right place and doing exactly what I should be at this very moment.

Do you Like Lemonade?


I'm crazy about citrus, so when I saw the shop name Lemonade I just had to write a feature about her. She is part of FEST (Florida Etsy Street Team), and since my team SFEtsy is partnering with FEST to promote each other, I've chosen Lemonade to talk more about. Her shop consists of material goods such as coin/wrist/pencil pouches, aprons, headbands, and other must have items. She uses beautiful fabrics to design these lovely items and I admire her unique clever ideas when making things that are very useful. Next time you're surfing Etsy make sure and check out Lemonade's shop - she's got really neat things.
