Okay, it is only one sale, and just for a few of my metal clay fine silver charms, but hey, it is my first official etsy sale, so I gotta brag!

The extra nice part of it was that this has been the weekend from hell starting with a Thursday ER trip around midnight (DH was sick but doing much, much better now, thanks) and ending (hopefully) with my hard drive deciding to take a huge nose dive. To top it off, my tech support guy is on temporary hiatus and I’ve been having image issues on this blog for weeks. I have had to link over from photobucket or use images loaded before wordpress decided to cop an attitude.

So, when I got an email on Friday that someone wanted to buy some of my little silver stars, well, I was delirious. At least that was one tiny bright spot, and needless to say I wrapped her package with much love and got it out the door asap.

I have more items set up to post in my Crafty Princess Etsy shop, including this little sterling silver mermaid charm I cast a zillion years ago and uploaded to my shop just minutes ago. This is actually left over from my days selling charms on Ebay. I took a lost wax casting class for a number of years with my husband. We made a pretty good team because he likes to do the filing and I prefer polishing, so we would both cast items and then help each other with the clean up process.

I will say when my hard drive decided to stop cooperating yesterday, I managed finish up some metal clay pieces I’ve had waiting for some last minute detailing. So, I also have some other metal clay items waiting in the wings for my Etsy store. After warming up for about an hour, my PC decided to work for awhile today and I’ve been typing like a mad woman ever since. I do have a laptop as a back up, but of course, it just doesn’t have what is basically my life uploaded to it.

I’m off to get some more of my Etsy jewelry items ready to post, mainly metal clay pieces I’ve made and a few other leftover charms from the days of my casting class. I still haven’t found the whole niche thing over there yet, but as far as views (which I’ve heard may mean nothing really), it seems the metal pieces are the most popular on my shop right now. We’ll see what happens with that.
