New Shop

It is not quite ready to go yet, but I am working on stock for a second shop. I could not really figure out how to market jewelry and home decor / wall art kind of stuff with each other. So, there is a second Etsy shop in the works for me. I will post the link to it when it is open, and then the blog posts will more evenly span both shops.

Thanks for the support!

Etsy Findings Wednesday

Last night I had a dream that it was football season again. Perhaps it was the letdown of the Hurricanes losing the 4th straight game last night.  At any rate, be it the Hurricanes or the Wolfpack, red and white are my colors! This is the perfect game day bow for either! This red and white bow comes from Etsy seller DottieStripeLayne. 

When you are finished checking out this listing, check out my shop, Jubillie.

Happy Shopping!

Blog I Like Friday

On Etsy, I am a member of 2 Street Teams. These teams are a way for people who have something in common or sell a similar product to work together to market themselves as a group.  Periodically, I will talk about one or the other. 

Today, I want to talk about the Homefront Team. We are all Military Spouses. Each week we might feature an artist on the team, a style of work, or some insight or advice from any number of Homefront Members. 

If you would like to see items on Etsy from the Homefront Team Artists, go to www.etsy.com and enter Homefront Team in the search box. 

Check out my site too! Jubillie.

Etsy Findings Wednesday

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the day I married my husband, but it is also the day I married into the U.S. Air Force. In honor of our anniversary, I decided to pick something military related as my found item of the day. 

I have just fallen in love with these 2 bags from Etsy seller Llyrric.

and 

These bags are both made from military uniforms and super cute. I want them both! 

Happy Shopping!

Etsy Findings Day

Hello Everyone!

Wednesday is Etsy Findings Day! A few weeks ago I purchased some matchbook notepads from Etsy Seller CharlottesAttic82. They were really cute little note pads... easy to stash in a small purse. I was looking at her site for more gift ideas, and I came across these magnets:

She has these magnets in other designs and colors. Check them out HERE.

Look for Free Shipping on JUBILLIE tomorrow!

Structure

Okay. I have decided that it is time for my blog to have a little more structure.  So, Starting tomorrow, I am going to follow a set up. I may add in other little things from time to time, but these will be pretty set. 

MONDAY-  A GIVE AWAY OR A FREEBIE

This may come from me or it could be something going on by someone else. I will           provide a link if it is someone else's give away or freebie.

TUESDAY- MY OWN FAVORITE

Each Tuesday I will show off one of my own items. It could be jewelry, or it could be something else that I do. 

WEDNESDAY- ETSY FIND OF THE DAY

On Wednesdays, I will present you with an item on Etsy that I like from another seller. These could be anything at all, so be sure to look out for great items!

THURSDAY-FREE SHIPPING THURSDAY

I will either offer free shipping across the board on Thursdays, by providing a code for you to enter, or I will offer free shipping on a specific item. These codes will be good for until midnight on Thursdays. As long as the item is purchased and paid for before midnight, the shipping costs will be refunded within 24 hours, usually within an hour. 

FRIDAY- ANOTHER BLOG FIND

I will link you to a fun article or find on someone else's blog. If you know of a great blog that you would like to see featured here, please let me know!

WEEKENDS- Check in on weekends. There could be a great deal posted. 

Hopefully, with a little more structure, things will get rolling a little better!

My Teams.

I am a member of two seller teams on Etsy. Teams are groups of people with something in common, that work together to promote each other and support each other in their shops. 

The first team is The Homefront Team. We are all spouses of military members.

Feeling Human

Hey everyone. So, I have been experiencing, what I think is the flu. But, I am finally starting to feel human again! Yay!

I have had an order on my fish tail earrings. I am going to keep the offer going. If you buy one pair of fish tails, you will get another pair for free. 

Stop on by and see here. 

Happy Birthday Chris!

Today is my little sister's birthday.  I would like to wish her the very best happiest birthday ever! 

I am uploading my princesses to my shop today. Check them out here.  I actually only have three to start, but there are more on the way. Eventually, I will seperate the jewelry from everything else. But, for now, they will just have to be together!

Fairy Paintings

In the next day or so, I will be posting some new items on Jubillie. I have some fairy princess art. These pieces are multi-media, and super cute and sparkly. I need to take pictures when the light is right, then they will be up. Keep a look out for them!

Fish Tails

Today, I have been sitting here making new items to post in the store. I am not ready to post the new stuff yet... I still need to take pictures and write descriptions... in the mean time, I LOVE these earrings. 

If you like these earrings, and want to purchase them, you can buy them HERE. If you purchase  Fish Tail Earrings with the code FREE FISH in the "message to seller" section, I will give you a free pair of Fish Tail Earrings! 

Back to Work Tomorrow-

I have taken a few days off from making stock for my store, from blogging, and from ChaCha-ing while we have had some company. 

I will be back in full force tomorrow. 

"Quotation Marks"

While looking around today for some fresh ideas, I followed a suggestion on Twitter to check out the "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks.  People are snapping pictures all over the country of signs where quotation marks are seriously misused. 

This site is great for people like me. I have been accused of being the Captain of the Grammar Police.  

Sick...

This is the way I feel today. It has been this way the last couple of days. In a few hours, I usually feel better... but, until then, I feel like poor Peggy Ann. "Sick" by Shel Silverstein

"I cannot go to school today"

Said little Peggy Ann McKay.

"I have the measles and the mumps,

A gash, a rash and purple bumps.

My mouth is wet, my throat is dry.

I'm going blind in my right eye.

My tonsils are as big as rocks,

I've counted sixteen chicken pox.

And there's one more - that's seventeen,

And don't you think my face looks green?

My leg is cut, my eyes are blue,

It might be the instamatic flu.

I cough and sneeze and gasp and choke,

I'm sure that my left leg is broke.

My hip hurts when I move my chin,

My belly button's caving in.

My back is wrenched, my ankle's sprained,

My 'pendix pains each time it rains.

My toes are cold, my toes are numb,

I have a sliver in my thumb.

My neck is stiff, my voice is weak,

I hardly whisper when I speak.

My tongue is filling up my mouth,

I think my hair is falling out.

My elbow's bent, my spine ain't straight,

My temperature is one-o-eight.

My brain is shrunk, I cannot hear,

There's a hole inside my ear.

I have a hangnail, and my heart is ...

What? What's that? What's that you say?

You say today is .............. Saturday?

G'bye, I'm going out to play!"

Weddings and Things...

There is a lot of wedding talk lately around here. Both my sister and I have a few weddings to attend this year. Yesterday my cousin and I went to David's Bridal for her to try on dresses for when she is the maid of honor in an upcoming wedding. 

I am going to attempt to do a wedding portrait this weekend. I have been married almost 3 years, but never succeeded in getting one... so, we are trying again. This is me on my wedding day with 3 of my bride's maids:

I wish I had known about Etsy when I was wedding planning. If so, I might have scored something like this bracelet, from seller Lazy Angel, back then!! I love it!

In the mean time, click HERE to head over to my site, and check out my pieces... I will be adding more new stuff one the company parade finishes at our house!

Frustrated

This morning I woke up a little frustrated. I had 2 sales on my Etsy site, and then nothing. I am starting to doubt myself, and the wisdom of this plan of mine! I am hoping that this feeling is just because I had a bad night of sleep. I will revisit this thought tomorrow. I am spending my last day with my cousin before she leaves... tomorrow I will get back to actively pushing the site, and trying to make it publicly findable! In the mean time, please go check it out! www.jubillie.etsy.com.
