Hello all, in a previous posting I showed you a few vintage pieces on Etsy that I loved, well here's one store that I really love and I hope you will too! The pieces are sweet and feminine. Check it out:

Shop name: jannyfay.etsy.com

Specialty: I feature and love vintage items. I also take average things and use my vintage materials to incorporate new with old.

Bio: One of my favorite things is making my bridal pieces and tweaking them with a bit of vintage added somewhere on the piece. I love old beautiful buttons with rhinestones or an old vintage pin to achieve this look.

Favorite Item: I would have to say my "morning Bloom" rose for bride is one of my favorite pieces at the moment. I plan on expanding the collection of hair pieces to not only for the bride but any special occasion. My long term goal would be to offer a collection for an entire wedding party from the headpiece to pew bows, the bridesmaids, ect. I must add to this that there will always be the vintage look attached someplace in any piece I make . I am very much in love with the beauty and presence that the history of times gone by have and will continue to bring to us all.

Advice: The only advice I can give to sellers is to not be worried or take it to seriously at first. I have not been at this long enough to feel like can critique anyone but from what I have read in the forums is to not be hard on yourself if the sales take awhile to evolve. When you realize how many shops are out there I think the only thing you can do is just be sure and tag your items the best way to give them more visibility and just do what you do best. If you sew , sew your best , if it's jewelery, make your best, at the end of the day you did what you loved doing! enjoy it.

New Additions: Religious

Well I just made two more items in a medium i'm still very new at: polymer clay.

Inspiration for the medium: Sarah lol thanks cousin :)

And the fact that we can't find religious jewelry anywhere. Specifically arabic and islamic jewelry.

So this is just my first attempt. I'm currently working on a much more polished looking pendant, so keep an eye out for more.

Customizations will be more than welcomed when I get those up.

Thanks!

New Finds

So I was on the forums today looking for some great items to promote, and as usual I found a couple that were great!

First is this:

A charm i found, made from polymer clay. He's so adorable! And i love that the paint is what makes his body stand out.

And these two guys won my heart over! They are the prefect present for a best friend.

Newfound Obsession: Vintage

So a few months ago I bought my first vintage piece, a gold locket, thats proven to be the doorway to my obsession with vintage jewelry. My two latest purchases are these:

which i'm hoping to put a dried flower in one and a compass in the other

and this I just thought was very elegant.

And now I'm trying to decide between these lovely pieces:

I'm leaning towards the rose...but not sure yet...it'll have to wait a tad anyway, because as usual i'm hoarding my cash til the end of summer. Saving for school shopping. Ah the wonderful life of a college student, they make you go broke before you can earn a cent.

Anyhoo, night night, major studying tomorrow morning!
