I have my own pair and I can tell you that they are beautifully made!

I'm going to have to get some more...before all of you get there, lol!

1. Thank you, sweet Peg.

And thank you for the compliments. I'm so happy that you enjoy yours. I try to make them as pretty as possible and I love doing it.

You're a wonderful friend, my dear. :hug:

Edited to add: I do have more, but since we are limited to two threads a day in that forum, I thought I would just post 10 of them tonight. Will post others tomorrow evening.

2. I took a peek, those are just lovely! Nicely done!

:hi:

[hippywife]

4. Thank you so much!

I really love jewelry and I'm really enjoying making these. It's a nice way to spend my time on a cold winter night.

:hi:

3. You display them so artfully

The earrings are beautiful and you have a good eye, but you also display them so creatively.

[hippywife]

5. I really appreciate it, siligut!

My husband went and bought me a couple of light sources and helped me learn to really use his digital camera, so that was a huge help. The other things in the pics are little do-dads around the house that I thought would look good as display items.

7. hippywife, may I say that you do lovely work, and that you charge

way, way, wayyyyy too little (unless you're giving fellow DU'ers a good deal :)

I have a good friend who makes earrings in a similar style to yours, and her lowest prices - wholesale - start at $10; local stores sell them starting at $15+. Not including shipping.

Anyway - just don't want you to sell yourself short! :hi:

[hippywife]

10. I really do appreciate the sentiment.

This is a tough economy for everyone and I just want to be fair. Plus we're all friends here, right? :)

[Flaxbee]

20. absolutely!

It's a lovely sentiment for your fellow friends and family, etc... but just sayin' if you ever go out to try to sell in stores, hike those prices up a bit - even if you doubled your price, it would be more than fair. You do beautiful work!

[hippywife]

21. Thank you very much, Flaxbee.

I do appreciate the advice and the lovely compliments. :hug: :hi:

Hippywife. And as someone stated above, you are charging way to little for your lovely works of art!

[hippywife]

19. Thanx, sweetheart.

I've gotten some really good prices on the components so I see no reason to charge more than a fair market price for them. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]
