My D1 is getting ready to open an Etsy store. She has begun sewing and wants to sell some of the things she enjoys making. Basically she likes playing with fabric more than she can afford and make more tote bags than she needs so she's hoping to sell a few in order to feed her creative muse's budgetary needs.

D1 has asked D2 to make some jewelry to add to the store in order to beef up her offerings early on. D2 is pretty darned good at jewelry creation (she made the vast majority of my collection) so she has made a few pieces. Problem with this jewelry idea is, of course, the cost of materials. For whatever reason, the cost of beading supplies has sky rocketed - like so many other things these days - so I don't know how successful sales will be (there is certainly no shortage of people selling hand made jewelry on Etsy)

Here are her offerings - not selling here, just sharing her work to see what you guys think of it. Oh, and remember - I am no photographer...

This first one is actually my mother's day gift :)
