Busy bee..

I am currently changing the look on the product pictures in the shop, doing almost everything all over again. I want the background to be slightly darker than before, more rustique, matching the shop banner. The tiny shabby cupboard I bought at a flea market a couple of weeks ago is doing the job just fine!

Got me a rack!

Yesterday I went for a long walk and got me a jewelry rack! It sure makes taking photos of earrings a lot easier. And speaking of earrings, this lot will soon be avaliable at Everyday Glory.

It all of a sudden hit me that I've been ordering a lot of jewelry supplies lately, which will soon arrive.. and I still have a LOT of supplies here in boxes and drawers that I need to make use of. So please; if you see anything you like in the shop, and would like it just a tad different, don't hesitate to let us know! Chances are that we can make it just the way you want it.

More jewelry on it's way

This weekend I managed to take 100's of pictures of new jewelry for our store, and some of them turned out quite good..

Star Wars

How incredibly cool is this?? Can be bought on Etsy at homesweetwalls
I want one!

Summary

Well, it's been a while! Both Sigrid and I have been reluctant to pick up where we left on our blog. It's been a busy, and fun period of time since the last time any of us blogged.

We almost sold out completely at the "Designernes eget julemarked" ("Designers Christmas Market") here in Oslo. Unfortunately I was unable to contribute there (had to maintain my day job), but Sigrid was there pushing our jewelry out to the Norwegian public, whom until now have been spared a little.

Our Etsy shop has also been well visited in the Christmas rush, and we've almost made friends with the emploees at the local post offices.

I find that it's always hard in the beginning to sell something I've created. Not so much because I grow attached to the things, but more because I'm surprized when people want to buy my creations. We have both gotten better at this though. When things are a bit slow in our Etsy shop we tend to bring a box of jewelry to our day jobs, and boldly put them on a convenient spot where everybody can see it. It always creates a buzz! Or we make sure to always carry a little bit of the jewelry in our bags, so that when people ask "so what kind of jewelry do you make?" we can pull a "Funny you should ask.." and like a rabbit out of the magicians hat: bring out the bling from our bags!

All in all this has been a very good year for Everyday Glory, -and us, and we can't wait to take new pictures of our new jewelry designs as soon as daylight and time allowes it.

So, for now, a merry Christmas to all of you! And thanks for all the good support and cheering along the way!

Sigrid & Anja

Etsy fontpage

Nothing makes a quiet Sunday morning seem even better than dicovering that we made the Etsy frontpage on Friday. I like the different creations from this selection too. The color and the theme was really working.

Beads and more

I made these pretties a couple of weeks ago, and after snapping picures of them all separately, I took a family photo of them all. Look good together, don't they?? For sale at Everyday Glory.
Ah.. the colours and the shapes... sigh!

Harry Potter og nettshopping

I går var jeg og noen venner og så Harry Potter og halvblodsprinsen. I mine øyne ikke den beste Potter filmen. Den var vel litt.. fyllmasse i Potter-serien, litt pausemusikk mens man venter på den store avslutningen.

Èn fin ting med Potter filmene er at de alltid får meg til å glede meg til vinteren! Vakkert hvitt landskap og mennesker inntullet i skjerf, og som vasser rundt i snø, får meg rett å slett til å glede meg til de kalde månedene!

Denne uken var vi på forsiden av Etsy igjen med dette smykket, som jeg hadde kalt "The Golden Snitch", inspirert av filmen, selvfølgelig.. Temaet for forsiden var Harry Potter, og blandt de andre aktørene var dette skjerfet fra ParkaProject... Fantastisk fint!! Og til 42 gærninger har man altså et skikkelig varmt - og uendelig tøft skjerf som ennå ikke finnes på Hennes&Mauritz!

Til alle som nøler med å handle på nettet; Etsy er et veldig bra sted å begynne. Det er trygt, og jeg har ennå til gode å oppleve å bli snytt. Hvis man i tillegg bruker Paypal er man rimelig safe. Hva er vel morsommere enn å åpne postkassen og oppdage at det ligger en pakke til deg oppi??

____________________________________________

Yesterday me and some friends went to see Harry Potter and the half blood prince at the cinema. In my opinion not the best of the Harry Potter movies.

However; I always start looking forward to winter when I watch any of the Potter-movies. The beautiful white winter landscapes, and people dressed in thick scarves and sweaters does it for me, and makes me long for snow and the cold months..

This week we appeared on a Etsy frontpage where the theme was Harry Potter. Our necklace "The Golden Snitch" was featured along with a very cool scarf made by ParkaProject, which looks really good, not to mention warm! Nothing like having something you cannot just go to a chain store and buy! -And there's nothing like getting packages in the mail eigther!

Rush hour

Okay, so neither Sigrid or I have been too active on the blog front lately. Too much to do, I guess. Spring is always very busy at work, and Sigrid have also accomplished to finish some rather heavy classes besides her job, and is now celebrating her achivements, -touring around in Europe.

Our Etsy shop has also suffered a bit under these stressful times, and sales have been a little slow. A lady on one of the Etsy forms said it well the other day; "to be succsessful on Etsy means you have to treat your shop as a business, not as a hobby".

But yeeey! We've been on the frontpage at least three times since last, and that's always very fun! And there's a LOT of beautiful jewelry in boxes just waiting to be photographed and put out for sale.. so drop in every now and then!

Others than that, (other than gluing) I am currently working with the scenography for our studio. Here's a miniature of the old one. Me and one of my co-workers made this one about two months ago, when it was a LOT quieter at work. It's 1:50. Hehe.

The big 3-0-0!

Haha! We've been anticipating this moment, and it just happened: our etsy shop hit 300 hearts! 300 people hearted out shop since September / October '08. Wow. That's just fantastic! The next mile stone will be when we reach 100 sales in the shop. Hopefully soon.. We'll have to celebrate to chips and candy, I guess..
