Welcome Jewelry Divas!: Make Olympia Downtown Street Market

Welcome Jewelry Divas!: Make Olympia Downtown Street Market

Make Olympia Downtown Street Market

I would like to invite you and yours to the first ever 2011 Summer Market in downtown Olympia. On August 20, 2011 Theresa (my sister) and I will be in a big white booth, between 4th and State in downtown Olympia from 10:00 AM until 3 PM.

The summer Artwalk is being held in an effort to support and encourage local businesses. So, show your support and come and say hello. Bring your big fat wallet as well.

It's the Weekend

I am happy to say that today is friday. Go shopping for jewelry on my "Etsy" site for Ashar Gems. Better yet, Google Ashar Gems. I need to buy food for my six kids, my Aunt Mona and crazy Uncle in Yonkers! Can you dig it? I knew that you could!

What the @*$*(%, it's Almost August!

Hey kids! The month of July is going far too fast! 

I wanted to check in and talk to myself again about the economy, business, sales, lack of sales, google analytics and what what.  It is great to go to my Etsy site and hear other business owners coo and tell me how beautiful my handmade jewelry pieces are, and on the other hand, not have a sale day after day. I spruced up my profile, purchased a gorgeous banner, added more wedding jewelry and guess what? Nothing! Someone out there somewhere is purchasing. Do I have to drape myself over a BMW (better yet a silver-gray Targa) or pose in a Firewomen of LA calendar? Where are the people who buy shoes, handbags and jewelry and tell the landlord that the dog ate their paycheck?

I would give all of this up and join a convent, but I hear that you cannot wear fragrance or get your nails done. Too much austerity for me.  So, I guess I will push on, dust off the pink ball gown I wear to weed the garden and find more nonsense to write to MYSELF. If anyone is interested, please respond.
