About Me:: I'm a newbie to Etsy and I have fallen in LOVE!

I make hand crafted artisan wire-wrapped jewelry with a variety of mixed materials, but I primarily focus on gold and silver with precious and semi-precious stones - which is what you will find in my store.

On a personal note, I am married, have no children, but have three dogs and I live in Middle River, Maryland, which is close to Balitmore.

Day 5 of 30 Days to a Better Shop

Task: Focus on shop banner and avatar.

Well, I didn't find today's blog task to be too informative. Basically, you can hire someone or do it your self.

30 days to a Better Shop - Day 4

Today's task is to update my public profile. Once it's done, aside from the obvious, it will serve a lot of useful purposes. You can use your profile at other places besides Etsy, such as your website or blog and social networks (Myspace, Facebook, Indiepublic). It’s also great if someone features you in a blog and needs a quick bio from you.

Day 3 (Time Machine Style) of 30 Days to a Better Shop

So, Day 3 of this series suggests that you give thought to your shop sections and update them. I have the following sections:

Necklaces
Earrings
Bracelets
Anklets
