In April I wrote about my plans to introduce jewelry to Vallon des Trésors. Yesterday I had my day off from work and I decided to use this day to make this a reality. I am very proud to have these online, and I would like to show you two of my favorites!
The pink beads on these earrings are made of cherry quartz, they are topped off with a blue glass Czech bead. The two colors really compliment each other! the gold spacer beads and the earhooks are gold plated brass.
With the cultivated sweet water pearls and the golden plated connector these earrings are elaborate, yet not too big. The connector is decorated with flowers and swirls. They are real eye catchers!
These are just two examples of what can be found at Vallon des Trésors at the moment, and I hope you will all take some time to come around and have a look at the other pairs yourself!
At the end of January I started to feel a little overwhelmed with everything going on in my life.
There are 3 things that need a lot of time and attention: learning French, looking for a job and the Etsy shop. At a certain point I felt like I could not do any of them properly.
It took a little time, but I decided I would have to put one of these on hold. Naturally that had to become the Etsy shop, as the other 2 where way to important to put on hold, and also, finding a job would solve any problem immediately.
So, in February I did nothing for she shop, it gave me a lot of time to focus on the other 2 things, and even though I did not yet find a job, I do feel I am close to doing so. Also the French language has really progressed, I took a test last Monday at school and I can go to the next stage.
By ignoring the shop, I also had to put blogger aside, and therefore there have not been any posts in February. Now it is March, and I have decided to spend some more time on the shop again.
Still not as much as before, but I can take some hours a week to make new items and promote my shop and other shops.
Before I go, I would like to show this little elephant. It is a hand-carved Bali bead, made of bone.
He sits on a ketylo hair stick and I think he is absolutely adorable. There is also a version available with a rabbit and a frog!
