Fanciful Wish Shop - Reopened!

Yes it is true! I decided to reopen my ETSY store Fanciful Wish, on a small scale just for the holidays!

I've been waiting for the right time to open my shop again. And it felt right to reopen the store especially since I have been creating christmas gifts for friends and family. Then a loyal customer who has been waiting for me to reopen asked if I would be. That gave me the much needed push in the right direction, that I needed. So yes, I am officially open again.

Hooray!

So I will keep my shop open until February 2014 when once more I will be moving to my permanent home, for good (God willing). Then once I am settled in, we shall see how I can keep my shop open while caring for my son. I hope I can do it because I really love making jewelry. While living at my parents house at least at certain times of the day, I have someone to watch him for just a little while.

I still have plans to broaden my knowledge in making jewelry, as soon as I can free up some time to take more classes. For now, check out my shop Fanciful Wish for macrame bracelets and hand stamped jewelry. I'm going to keep my selection small this time around since I don't have all the time I used to have.

I will be revealing a coupon code for 25% off to use at my store on Black Friday. So please stay tuned.

Thank you for your patience and ALWAYS thank you for reading!

Xoxo,

Yolanda

Hand Stamped Metal Jewelry

One of FancifulWish 's best sellers (when I have the time to make them) are my hand stamped metal jewelry. I like the act of pounding a metal stamp into a piece of metal. Maybe it's stress relief? I bought my first kit from Beaducation . And yes I started off with a kit because I didn't know what went into metal stamped jewelry. I would have taken a class from my local jewelry store but I was at home with a newborn with no babysitter, so learning on my own was the way to go. Now I will warn you - making hand stamped jewelry is NOT cheap. You can get away with using a hammer you have at home to pound your letters into your metal but the letters themselves are pricey. I've only managed to collect 5 different types of letters, 3 of them the same font in different size with numbers included. The other a different font in lower and upper case sizes. And then there are punctation stamps and design stamps....not cheap. Alphabet s...

What's New: Paparazzi Accessories

It's been awhile! Being a stay at home mom of two has really been something else. I thought I was busy with one, but with two, it's been on another level of madness. All of this busy-ness means I haven't had time really to work on my Etsy shop. It's still open but I've kept hammering metal to a minimum. So for now I took the jump into a new venture. I just signed up to be Paparazzi Accessories independent consultant. Yup...who knew, after making my own jewelry for $5 years that now I'm selling jewelry designed and manufactured someplace else. What is Paparazzi Accessories exactly? It's jewelry at the sweet price of $5 and that's hard to come by. The products are designed in the USA but manufactured in China. I own a bunch of their earrings - I'm a sucker for hoops, large and small. And I love their stuff! I call my shop Leylah's Jewels - which is a play/combo on my children's names. We'll see how things go, so far it...

Echoes of the Universe / Namaste / Tree of Life

Ever have a feeling like the universe is listening to you and things happen that reflect that? And you stop for a moment and say hmmm...I was just thinking that or you had just been talking about it or reading about it... First it was the dream catcher. I saw the bracelets online and wanted to make one but didn't have time then a few weeks ago I saw that my nephew had a dream catcher hanging in his room, which used to be MY room growing up and I had my own dream catcher. SO I finally made the dream catcher charms.... Then I was talking to my husband this weekend about making tree of life pendants because I saw them on Pinterest. BUT I used to make wire trees, years ago, they looked like this...I remember teaching my co-workers to make them for a fundraising basket we were putting together. I loved these trees. But my husband is Jewish and said it was perfect I'd make tree of life pendants because there is a Jewish holiday Tu b'shevat (it was in...
