To begin with, we hit a big milestone on Facebook. We finally got our 100th fan! Congrats to Melissa Hager!! Of course, we wanted to show our appreciation, so we decided to design something special for her as a way to say thank you. This is what we came up with:
Melissa told us her favorite color was green, so we used a faceted Lime Chalcedony teardrop for the main stone in the pendant. Then, mom wire-wrapped it in sterling silver, and I added the Amethyst and Blue Quartz stones with our unique sterling silver coil design. We're planning to put Melissa's gift in the mail soon, and I hope she enjoys wearing it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
Our next goal is to reach 200 Facebook fans, and when we do, we'll give away another pendant! If you want to be the winner, go to our page - A List Designs on Facebook, watch as our number of fans goes up, become one yourself, and you just might be lucky #200!
In other news, this past Saturday we had an amazing visit to Les Filles Boutique, which is one of the shops carrying our designs in Louisville, KY. We went there to check our inventory and found out we sold 8 more pieces!! We've been fortunate to have consistent monthly sales there, but we've never had so many in one month before! It was such a nice surprise since August is usually a slow month, and we were just hoping we at least sold 1 thing. Needless to say, our expectations were exceeded by far! I'm still doing mental cartwheels over it today, lol.
Now that I think about it, Saturday was actually a super productive day! After our successful trip to Les Filles Boutique, we got busy making a light box, which was long overdue. When we first started photographing our pieces, we quickly learned that natural light produces much better shots. However, taking pictures outdoors isn't always possible because conditions have to be just right...not cold, no rain, no breeze and slightly overcast to prevent shadows. This is where a light box comes in handy because it will allow us to take high quality photos indoors. The best part is that it was relatively inexpensive and easy to make. Here is the finished product:
Last but not least on our list of Saturday's accomplishments, we finally got around to listing something new for the week on Etsy:
I think that just about covers all of the highlights from last week. Here's hoping this week is equally as awesome!
