New and Discontinued...the verdict is still out

Here's a couple of new earrings that I've added to my store today. With any luck and time allowing I'll be adding a couple more tomorrow as well. These are just really simple designs that can be worn everyday and with any outfit.





Now on to the discontinued subject. I love this pendant below and made the originals 4 years ago for my best friend and myself. I've sold quite a few of these, but I'm considering not selling these anymore or at least for the time being. It's one of the few pieces along with the meditation/prayer beads that I carry in which I put a lot of my healing thoughts and energy into. It really is about focusing on the metaphysical properties of the stones and while creating sending that intent into that particular piece. I really enjoy making these pieces but find with my time constraint that I can't dedicate the energy that I want to....or that I feel needs to be dedicated to them. I've just sold my last Chakra pendant today and I only have 1 Meditation/Prayer beads left, and more than likely will not relist either one of these until I've figured out a solution. Maybe it's as simple as better time management...I'm not sure, but I'll let you know when I've figured it out!

Hoarder? Who me?

Oh no, not I! Okay so fine, I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to beads. This is just a portion of what I will be selling on Etsy when I finally open up my destash store. I have entirely too many beads and they are quite literally overtaking my little work area.

I figure that I better start getting rid of them now before I move into my studio, because when I have all of that room available, I may not part with them.

I know what some of these stones are, but there are some that I'm not quite sure of. There are some that are dyed, and some that are not a high quality but are still pretty to look at. Ranging in shapes and sizes these gems could be made into something pretty to adorn yourself with.

I still have to figure out a name for my destash store. Once upon a time when I had one it was ShiSupplies, but I closed it because I didn't really want to part with some of the stones. Even though the store is closed I can't use the same name :( Hmm...what about GoddessGifts, the natural stones are gifts from the Earth...or EarthGifts...aye! I'll have to think about this one a bit. If any of you have any suggestions let me know!
