A New Leaf...

I'm turning over a new leaf in my business, and you can probably get something out of this as well :)

After some long and hard thinking, I've decided that I'm going to significantly cut back on my decoupage offerings in my Gilded Days shop.  The demand for my jewelry has been so great, and the decoupage is so time consuming, I feel that this is what makes sense for my business at this point in time.

I'll still be doing my wall plaques, trays, and some boxes, because those are what I love doing the most.  But I have to have the right sheet music, inspiration, time, and materials for them, and having those things align has become less and less frequent.  It becomes like a chore after a while, and I don't want it to be like that. 


All of this is in anticipation of selling directly from my stand-alone website.  Until then, managing two shops equally on Etsy (and it's not hard to tell which one is the neglected one) has been too difficult. I'll still be listing some new artwork occasionally, but I won't be restocking things like ornaments, mirrors, frames, and larger boxes.

BUT TESS, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?  HOW WILL MY WORLD BE ROCKED BY YOU REFOCUSING YOUR ENERGY????

wow, what great questions! ;)
This is what it means for you:

♫ I've marked down a lot of my stuff in my Gilded Days shop so you can get some great deals on beautiful, well made things, that I need to clear out.

♫ You'll be seeing more choices in jewelry, and new, higher quality materials.  Sterling silver, anyone?

♫ More custom work! If you have an idea for something (decoupage or jewelry), I want to work with you! 

If you read all the way down here, then thank you for being such smashing good sports!  As always, I'd love to hear your feedback, so feel free to drop me a note in the comments!
