Trunk Show

The trunk show went well today. A reasonable number of people came by - maybe they were all at work!! It was the first time the group had done a day time slot!

As the theme was Mothers' Day, I showed three lariat style necklaces. The first one was the mother's lariat charms:


This reminds mothers of the times when we were young and innocent and cute and easy to please!!!

My second piece was going to be my "comfort" hand piece but it sold as I listed it yesterday! So that was good. Instead I chose "in safety's keeping" in recognition of the safe place that mothers provide us - that little bit of safe haven:

My third piece was "home is where the heart is". I've done quite a few variations on this design as they always seem popular. It needs no explanation why this would be appropriate for mothers' day.


The whole trunk show is a lot of fun. People comment all the time, some people speak, some are on camera so you can see them...and participants can "throw" hearts or cupcakes or penguins or whatever to people or items being shown. This may not make sense - but if you go to one, you'll see what I mean. If you missed this one - try another in the future. It's a fun experience!!!!

Etsy Metal Clay Trunk Show - Tuesday at 2pm Eastern/11am Pacific

The Etsy Metal Clay team that I am a member of is having a virtual trunk show on Etsy tomorrow - Tuesday at 11am Pacific time. The theme is Mother's Day. Hope you'll stop by. Go to www.etsy.com and go to the Virtual Labs. You'll see different "rooms" there - and click on the Gallery and then you'll be in the trunk show room. It's an interesting process and some wonderful artists will be showing what they do with metal clay - along with me showing some of my pieces.

And as Mother's Day is May 10th in the US, I'll offer a 10% discount off any items purchased today or tomorrow from my store. Just add "trunk show discount" to the message line when you check out and I'll refund the discount.

Here's some work of the artists in the Etsy Metal Clay Team. Look forward to seeing you there.
Any questions - just let me know.

Etsy Metal Clay Trunk Show

The Etsy Metal Clay Team will be hosting their second Trunk Show on January 29th at 7pm EST (4pm PST) in the Etsy Virtual labs. This Trunk Show will display the work from eleven of the Metal Clay Team members. I am not participating this time but go take a look at what other people make with silver and bronze clay. The designs above are all by other members of the team.

All of the fine, handcrafted jewelry that will be presented during the Trunk Show will have a Valentine's Day theme. There will be nine door prizes to give away during the Trunk Show via Valentine's Day Trivia. So if you have fast typing hands and a quick wit, you will win jewelry created in fine silver and bronze. Hope you'll stop by.
