Keeping Up To Date

Hello my dearest people!

Just a quick post to tell you how to keep up to date with The Little Treasure Box! Even though this kinda does but...
Anyways, I've set up a Facebook group. Please join, it's an open group so you don't have to be my friend! Plus you can have a little browse through my jewellery pictures, as the business side of this is going to be mainly jewellery, although I'll be expanding it as I get more orders :).

Hey, you! Yes, YOU!! Join my Facebook group :).

Which reminds me...

I am starting to properly sell jewellery. Here's some info about it:

1. I make necklaces, earrings, bracelets, some brooches and rings, and bookmarks, but I'm making new stuff all the time!

2. Don't be afraid to request jewellery- if I know you, we can meet up, go for a drink and discuss ideas! If not, or if you live far away, you can always e-mail me at thelittletreasurebox@hotmail.co.uk and we can talk about what type of jewellery you want.

3. Some of my ready-made pieces are also available to buy- just e-mail me again!

4. Pricing varies depending on what you want to buy and how long it took me to make. As a rough guide, though, earrings start at around £5, bracelets from around £7 and necklaces from around £10. Sets are also available- at a great price! A necklace and bracelet set can cost around £11. However, prices are always changing, and some pieces can be much more expensive. For example, I'm making some earrings at the moment that are going to have to cost at least £7, probably more, because they have taken me at least 2 hours to make one.

5. I can gift wrap it for you, for around £1-3 extra. Although your jewellery will come nicely presented anyway!

6. I can't take credit card, although hopefully I will soon be selling on Etsy, in which case, I will be able to!

7. I also do repairs. If a piece of jewellery I have made for you breaks, I can repair it for free, even if you broke it yourself (having said that, it doesn't normally!). If you want another piece of jewellery mended, I cen mend it for very little- depending on how big the damage is! I might even do it for free if it's just a quick job :).

For more info, as I said, e-mail me!

LOVEyou
Caitlin

P.S. HALF TERM!! Hooray!!

P.P.S. I am planning a range of Nancy-style jewellery (from Oliver). No, this does not mean prostitute-style jewellery, but old-fashioned, Victorian-style. Watch this space!

P.P.P.S. One last thing: it has been suggested that I make jewellery to go with people's outfits. Post a picture on my Facebook group of your favourite outfit and I'll make some jewellery to go with it!

Earrings

Hello everyone :)
Here are some photos of the 2 pairs of earrings I made yesterday. Would be great to hear what you think about them :)

Aphrodite earrings

Here is the first pair of earrings. I found these little shell hearts that I was originally going to make into a little charm bracelet, but I hadn't got round to it. I probably would have made a bracelet but I couldn't find any clasps or anything so I decided on some earrings. They remind me of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. I suppose I could have called them Venus earrings, but that doesn't sound as romantic I think. I also found these little clay (I think) flowers which my best friend bought me, and some pink organza ribbon which I think just adds a nice touch...

The Back To School Blues earrings

Because it's almost that time of year again, unfortunately. I made these earrings to cheer me up about the hell that is going to be sixth form (so I'm told) and the amount of summer work we got given :( Still, I love these- I made them out of ivory-coloured shell hearts, dark blue ribbon and gold coloured findings.
P.S. The book is 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald, because that's the one we're studying for English next year. I thought it was appropriate :)

So there they are, hoping to put more photos on soon of other things I've made! Hope you like them!

LOVEYOU,
Caitlin
P.S. I have recently developed an appetite for bread and honey. Is this normal?!
