Well to be perfectly honest I'm not entirely sure but here's some ideas of the things I plan on posting on this blog:
- The progress of my personal jewellery making business. I'm still just starting out so I plan on bringing you along as I dive into the world of business ownership!
- Sharing some of the small business advice that I've found helpful to me while surfing the net
- Some of the other amazing artisans I've found both online and in the real world!
- Anything else that catches my fancy!
Since coming back from my adventures at sea I have been fully self employed. I started Valerie Lynn Designs when I was in my first year of college although seeing as I was in school I didn't focus much on sales until much later. Now that I'm out of school I've been in full production trying to make myself keep to a regular schedule in my studio just as if it was any other job. (Of course seeing as I'm just starting out I still need to look for a job to pay the bills so I'm also on the job hunt).
Currently I'm only selling in person or on my Etsy store (see link above). I've been a little afraid of taking the plunge and approaching galleries with my work but I know I will have to do so quite soon! I already have a list set up of galleries in Ontario and Victoria BC that I plan on approaching.
If you'd like to see some of my work please visit my Etsy shop, join my Facebook Fanpage or visit my website at http://valerielynndesigns.com
Good luck, Val! Especially with that piece you're doing for me (if you want to cover that in chocolate too, I wouldn't complain).
