my studio

Thought I'd share some photos of my studio. It's where I spend most of my time.
Of course, it's messy, but that goes with the territory.




This is what my husband built for me to keep my wire sorted and organized. As you can see, it's not very organized.
There's pegboard on all 4 sides and it's on casters so I can wheel it around.

zibbet.com selling site

Just listed these three bracelets on my zibbet shop.

I don't know about that site. I signed up as a premium member and paid for a year's subscription, but am wondering if it was worth doing. There seems to be very little activity there.

It's hard to know who is looking at your shop because the shop stats aren't very revealing.

Anyway, I'm there for a year, so I'll keep listing and hoping for a sale or two.

My 'babies'

Thought I'd post a photo of my two much loved, much spoiled kitties. Actually, they're far from kitties, Tig, the orange one is almost 15 and Gypsy, the one hiding behind Tig is around 8. But they're still my kitties.

They're in one of their favorite spots -- on Daddy's lap - you can't see the rest of Daddy, but he's got his eyes closed too. They're all relaxing on Daddy's lounge chair.

Range of prices on Etsy

Here's another comparison. The bracelet shown is mine, listed for $55.oo

There are 3,561 copper cuff bracelets listed today on Etsy.

Prices on these range from a high of $600. to $22.50

So how does a customer judge the value?
What do you think?

They say variety is the spice of life. Well, maybe.
I've just done an interesting experiment. I looked all listings on Etsy for 'Roman glass necklace.
The one pictured here is mind. It's listed for $85.00 and is strung on 14k gold filled triple strand chain.

I found that there are currently, as of today,
262 listings for Roman Glass Necklace. Of course there are many styles. But the price range is a bit astounding.
Highest price listed was a whopping $1500.00.
Lowest price was an incredible $15.00.
Now, that's quite a range for similar materials, don't you think?
