Aren't these boxes great!! They're perfect to put your customer's jewelry in for the Fall season, don't you think?! These aren't the ones I got though. I just saw these this morning! I did get some though. I got 50 of these...
I got them from a great Etsy shop called NotableNotions. They have a whole section of Presentation Boxes! I needed some that were see through on the top, and a bit larger than the regular jewelry display boxes. My crochet necklaces need more room to spread out! And since they're fiber/crochet, I can't just leave them in the air when they are on a shelf to sell, or at a craft show. And it appears that that may be my next move...to have my necklaces and crochet jewelry in a Craft Mall type outlet.
If I had the money I'd probably be stocking up on boxes from this shop. They have all kinds of shapes and sizes! You'll have to check it out for yourself. They have 12 pages of boxes...and all kinds of other supplies too!! I particularly love these boxes though...
If you buy these you can save on wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows! Your jewelry will show up at the customer's house like a little present! :-)
It was nice to get something in the mail yesterday, to distract me. My activities, due to this pinched nerve in my arm, have been curtailed. I spend my time sitting with my arm slung up, listening to magazines, watching TV, and eating and resting. (I got a really nice long distance phone call from my "New" cousin last night too!!) I guess sipping on soup and taking EXTRA naps is better than sucking down pain pills and screaming! ^_^
I'm kidding because, actually, my arm is feeling a lot better. I can move it almost everywhere now, except for up and down in one area. But at least it isn't aching every minute like it was a few days ago! Massages and resting it in the sling is really working wonders. I'm even typing a bit with my fingers on that hand right now! I can feel it getting tired though so, before I take off for the day, let me introduce you to another AWM team member. Her Etsy shop is emilybetti. This is her business card.
And this Ebony Elegance Bracelet is from her shop.
Beautiful, huh?! Please go by and check out the other cute items she has too!
Okay, poem.
Hanging Out
I'm hanging out, and eating,
this and that, pick, pick, pick!
There's not much else to do
when you're home and feeling sick.
Listening to some music,
making plans in my head.
Just like a tuna, flipping
back and forth in my bed.
Laughing at the T.V.,
playing scrabble all alone,
Looking at the walls
while I'm chatting on the phone.
I'm hanging out, and waiting
for a change in the weather,
for my cold to go away,
and to feel a whole lot better.
Then it'll be back to work,
and I'll be up and about,
waiting patiently for a day,
when I can just be hanging out!
I'm so happy that you're doing a bit better today! I've sure missed you! I love your new boxes too! I've had to invest in boxes recently again and I wish I had looked on etsy. What a great idea! I love the one with the bow!
ReplyDeleteYour poem is cute too! I am picturing you flipping back and forth in your bed like a tuna!! Cracks me up!!
Have a good day....get well....I'll talk with you soon!
CinLynn, Ha! Ha! Yep! Just call me "Flippy"!!! LOL Thanks for all of your encouragement!!!
ReplyDeleteHey I forgot to ask about the mall thing! Have you had any success selling anything yet?? Keep me informed on that one.
ReplyDeleteIts so good to hear that you are feeling better! Love the poem. I have to totally agree when your sick you want to get back into things and when you're back at work you want a day off.

I haven't sent anything to them yet. Maybe now that I have my boxes, and I know people will be able to see my necklaces without leaving them in the air, I will!! I'll let you know!
