It's that time again. :) I'm in the process of opening my Etsy Shop again and I am
so excited. I am presently waiting for my Sales Permit to get approved. Wow, its' definitely different
in Georgia than in Florida.
In Florida, I got it approved right on the spot. So, I am anxiously awaiting the phone call from the
local zoning and biz license office. I hope I'm approved and everything goes well.
As for my creations, I've been working on some hoop earrings that are definitely different. Can't wait
to show them to you.
Well I will let you go for now. I need to finish some of my creations. :) Lydias Treasures 4Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10441300702409860574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765424022067688231.post-86043316727099423212011-05-04T13:07:00.000-05:002011-05-04T13:07:19.147-05:00Surprise, surprise!Funny how life can bring many surprises into your life. After leaving Florida due to retirement,<br />
ended up in Georgia. House hunting can be fun, stressful and tiring if u can't find the home that is perfect for your family. We finally decided to build. Its been an exciting process. Waiting for a house to be built landed us in a hotel. Our best option at the time.<br />
<br />
I never thought we would be living in a hotel for almost a year. We have met so many people come and go. Many have stayed for short periods and some have stayed for longer periods. We also became very good friends with the hotel employees. They are like family members. Everyone at the hotel has been so kind to us and often go out of their way to please their guests. Candlewood Suites, you are so awesome! Thank u so much for your awesome customer service, your smiling faces and generosity. We are going to miss u greatly when we move into our house.<br />
<br />
Outside of our hotel suite, guests often hang out by the pool and socialize with other guests while grilling on their gas grills. I think we will grill chicken today.<br />
<br />
Well, would like to type some more but i've got to go.<br />
<br />
Later,<br />

March was the last time I blogged! :(<br />
<br />
Life has kept us busy with our upcoming military retirement and future move to a new state. I've been working on some new creations behind closed doors and excited about sharing my new creations once we are settled in our new home and state. <br />
<br />
Lately, it seems all we've been doing is filling paperwork, applications etc.......We're almost done. Yeah!!!!<br />
<br />
I'm really excited about opening an additional store called: Treasures4School. My new store will offer things such as decorated and altered school supplies, book marks, teacher's gifts, etc. I will offer fun and whimsical supplies too! I guess you'll just have to wait and see what surprises I'll sell in my future store.<br />
<br />
I will definitely continue my original store called: LydiasTreasures4U in addition to my new store. I am so excited! I love to create and I'm just having too much fun! :) I just can't wait to get to our new home so that I can get started selling items again! <br />
<br />
Blog later,<br />

I have revamped my store policies and offer more great options for my customers. <br />
Here are a few of the great options:<br />
<br />
1.I Work on Custom/Bulk Orders-Looking for that one of a kind piece of Jewelry or are you in need of a few pieces of jewelry for friends, weddings, Bridesmaids etc.? Please contact me on my Etsy store and we will discuss request. A 50% downpayment up front of total cost of item /items are required. Remainder of balance is paid once items are completed.<br />
<br />
2. Do you have any Junk Jewelry that you can't part with and would like something new made out of it?<br />
I can do it! I love to recycle, and refurbish old jewelry and make it into something new. Please contact me on my Etsy store and we will discuss request.<br />
<br />
-----------If you can furnish me with all of the Recycled pieces you want used to create new item-----------<br />
-- I will only charge you for labor and shipping.<br />
--Labor<br />
--Earrings-$2.00<br />
--Bracelet-$3.00<br />
--Necklace-$5.00<br />
--Necklace/Earrings-$7.00<br />
--Bracelet/Earrings-$6.00<br />
(Customer must pay shipping to and from)<br />
<br />
<br />
-------------------If you can furnish me with Partial Recycled Pieces---------------------------------<br />
Cost will be a little more due to me having to buy or look for other pieces on hand.<br />
<br />
****Note*********<br />
No need for surprises on either the buyer or sellers side. All jewelry will be shown to customers on a step by step basis via email. All steps will be pre-approved by customer before I proceed to next step. Once items are completed, customer will pay remaining balance.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I posted some ads on oodle but the ad took some of their standard warning ad site disclaimers and blended it with my ad details making it look like a personal seller warning. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The standard beware ad reads like this: "Beware of Fraud. Stay safe. Always meet the seeler locally and inspect all items before you buy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is how the ad appears:<br />
<br />
"always meet the seller locally and inspect all items before you buy. Beware of...LydiasTreasures4U on oodle-Fort Walton, Beach, Fl.3 weeks ago.ft waltonbeach.oodle.com/sale/?0=75.cached page."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I want to assure my customers that this ad is "Not" a representation of my work, quality or customer service.<br />
<br />
I strive to always keep all of my customers happy with their jewelry purchases.<br />
<br />

Promote, Promote, Promote.<br />
<br />
<br />
Isn't that what we are supposed to do to advertise our business?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, I just checked out my Web Analytics and found that 23 customers had clicked on a link that said: Beware of .....LydiasTreasures4U. So, I immediately researched the comment and this is what I found.<br />
<br />
<br />
I posted on a free advertising site named Oodle. My ad showed a pic of my jewelry and informing everyone that I sold Homemade Jewelry and Accessories. <br />
<br />
Well, my add was blended in with their everyday warning disclaimers and this was the end result of the oodle ad that advertised my jewelry.<br />
<br />
The whole ad reads: always meet the seller locally and inspect all items before you buy. Beware of....LydiasTreasures4U on oodle-Fort Walton, Beach, Fl.3 weeks ago. ft waltonbeach.oodle.com/sale/?0=75.cached page.<br />
<br />
This ad is false and in no way represents my shop, my jewelry creations or policies. I strive hard<br />
to please all of my customers and to insure they are happy with their purchases. <br />
<br />
If you look at my etsy shop, I have a 100% customer satisfaction rating.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>A Paper Mache Category</strong></span>- This category consists of all handmade, paper mache Jewelry which can be described as being funky, wild, outrageous and one of a kind.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>Junk in my Trunk Category</strong></span>-This category consists of Jewelry that has been recycled and given a new life. Note : (All recycled ear wires have been replaced by "New" Store bought ear wires) <br />
Therefore, all ear wires on Earrings are "New".Lydias Treasures 4Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10441300702409860574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765424022067688231.post-2477056188030974492010-01-29T12:22:00.000-06:002010-01-29T12:22:37.184-06:00My HeartsI've spent quite alot of my time making some cute, Valentine Hearts. They are made of paper mache<br />
and decorated with rhinestones or flowers. I really enjoyed making them of different colors giving<br />
them a different look.<br />

We actually had a very nice time with family who came down from Sacramento, California. We always enjoy spending time with our family on the Holidays. <br />
<br />
Still waiting for husband to get out of the Military so we can finally call a place "home". I think it's gotten to the point where I really don't want to move anymore and neither do the kids. We all want to stay in one place. Hopefully, my husband will get a civilian position he can slide into soon.<br />
<br />
Well, as for my jewelry making, I temporarily placed my Etsy shop on Vacation until January 15. I have been catching up on all the things I needed to catch up on. I've been busy making a lot of new jewelry. I plan on opening a new line of jewelry called: Recycled Jewelry (Jewelry with a second life) <br />
<br />
A jewelry line for people who like the idea of giving old jewelry a second chance before it is chunked in the garbage.In other words, old, detash jewelry is taken apart, and then recycled by completely making a new jewelry piece out of the old piece. (For example: If I have a plastic oval off of a necklace, I take it apart and attach it to a flower charm that was off of a bracelet and then I attach any other loose charms etc. off of other pieces and create something new.)<br />
<br />
***Note*****<br />
All jewelry is given a good cleaning and All old earwires are thrown away in the trash and "NEW" (Never Used) ear wires replace the old ones. So no need to worry about using used ear wires. :)<br />
<br />
Well, I will let you take a quick peek at a couple of my new creations that I haven't posted yet in my shop on Etsy. These items will be placed for sale after the 15th of this month. :) Hope you like them!Lydias Treasures 4Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10441300702409860574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765424022067688231.post-91039042799383379262009-12-29T10:44:00.000-06:002009-12-29T10:44:36.159-06:00Happy HolidaysFamily and I had a very nice Christmas. We had my in-laws come down from Sacramento and we had a great time. We enjoyed talking, enjoying the Holidays and just spending family time together.<br />
<br />
We are almost beginning a New Year. 2009 has gone sooooooo fast!<br />
<br />
As for the paper mache head, I still need to work on that. I guess the next step will be to sand down the rough edges. Attaching some ears will be quite interesting. I'm not really sure how that will turn out. Regardless of how it comes out, I will definitely post a picture and let you see how it turned out. We will either laugh together or cry together depending on how it turns out. :)Lydias Treasures 4Uhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10441300702409860574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765424022067688231.post-79124624002686764512009-12-03T21:00:00.000-06:002009-12-03T21:00:16.960-06:00Here it is........<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6_Ax2uY8zyrKC75iem9y1oFULrMnpmVDHTyHMSQMHrJCFZoHcZhvimaiDwVSdtyn15HB2tn6m9p3C3PYDKGqsKSADbIyOmrDDHbmMaBxg5ydHN1jgLDCWTKnpOBRvSHkxs3QP29YuppE/s1600-h/mannequin+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" er="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6_Ax2uY8zyrKC75iem9y1oFULrMnpmVDHTyHMSQMHrJCFZoHcZhvimaiDwVSdtyn15HB2tn6m9p3C3PYDKGqsKSADbIyOmrDDHbmMaBxg5ydHN1jgLDCWTKnpOBRvSHkxs3QP29YuppE/s320/mannequin+1.jpg" /></a><br />
