Well my friends, its been a very very busy season!    First we have had lots of lovely trips to Toronto,  Portland, St Louis and Seattle, and secondly we have some lovely creations at a local shop here in the sunny heart of the Market!     AND!  And, we are in talks with a boutique store in Toronto where I would love to place our lovelies (so wish us luck!)



Check it out!

 The owner, Mandy is a huge personality with a stunning smile and her staff at the shop make you feel like you belong.   And last but not least...what store is not complete without their very own dog named Pearl!

We are busy making, making, making so that we will be ready for the spring craft fairs.   We were lucky enough to find some beautiful druzy and solar quartz so we are using those a lot lately.

As usual, you can find us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DawningsCustomJewelry/ and on Etsy! https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/DawningsCustomDesign

See you soon!
Dawn

In my last post I told you I joined an Etsy Resolution Group - awesome learning experience but Oh MY I don't seem to 'get' SEO.

I read, I edit, I read some more, I edit some more and well...I'm not sure its any better!

Any web fiends out there to act as editors and tell me what I'm doing wrong?  Nicely of course, I like to think I'm smart so don't pop my bubble!

Can I go back to just making stuff now please!

Well I just took a look at the date of my last blog and um, oops?    I dont seem to be very bloggish lately. I hope you forgive me!

So, well, How have you been?   Doing ok?

Dawnings has been really busy - 7 craft fairs, 22 donations to local worthy causes, we bought a new bannner, added umpteen listings to Facebook and Etsy. 

Recently we joined a Etsy Resolutions group, Canadian.  Its been really instructive actually.   I have revamped my photos, and am taking a hard look at our packaging. I am experimenting with stamping, junk mail, anything, something that will make opening one of our parcels a joy but stay within our green mandate.   I will try a few things and see what sticks!

Its minus 12 outside and I spent the whole day doing Dawnings stuff - making, packaging, posting, emailing, twittering, etsying and facebooking.    Phew!    

Hopefully I will be dropping by to chat more often!

Here are some of our latest treasures!

Here are some of my new friends from the Etsy Resolutions Group:
