i have it listed on etsy for 14$ thats reasonable! its sooo nice. mmm not as nice tho as 'the necklace that is too pretty to sell or post pics of' mmmm what a dream...
hey you know what? im considering coming back to shop cocoon when my contract ends but get this- as a jewery/accessories designer instead of sewing. what do you think?
the yaletown market went well! lots of people making 'tawad' mostly mga instik, sometimes its a bit insulting... like the japanese tree basket purse with kanzashi flower? the girl who came back for it ( it was priced at 55$), anyway she came back and said' can i take these TWO for 60$????' holy insult right? she wanted a large tree pouch and the basket purse for 60. what a lame-o she kept showing me me the cash and i just always want to be nice and agreeable so i finally said 'ok' but then her friend must have been mortifyed came back and bought a pair of earrings and didnt even get the change. good friend haha but i should always stick to my original price coz then i regret the sale and whenever i think of it its always sad.. i mean, another 10$ is like nothing, a lunch. you know? its two bags and a kanzashi.. i mean i frikkin designed it, made it, it took me two days to make the purse nevermind the weeks conceptualizing and the table fee. some people.... but I MADE $$$ anyway and i need it more than sentiment.
yeah,,, these days i feel my sewing work is not worth it. its fun to do and cute to make but people dont buy em... i think they would rather some bags from wal-mart. but the jewelry! yay ladies buy right away and have no problem dropping 50$ on a crochet necklace. see? 50$=1 hour jewelry making OR 50$=5 hours sewing cutting sewing finishing, ironing, cuttting the interface, measuring... you get the idea.....haha! im pretty excited. lets see if it happens its you life jewels and gems for your personal adornment.....
EDIT:oh my gosh. i eat my words daily! sharyn just called from paper ya and the pouches are almost all gone! my sewing is worth it.
paper-ya stock update next monday! watch for it!
