I didn't disappear!

Hello everyone, I've been away for several months and have missed working on my blog and crafts.  I decided to take some time off to reevaluate my life and family relationships, and found that I was seriously neglecting my loving and understanding husband.  I found that the blog, crafting and Etsy jewelry shop was taking way too much time away from my husband and step-kids!  So I made the decision to close the jewelry shop, it's still open a the moment - everything has been reduced so pop on over and help me permanently close the store!  Oh and here is a coupon code for an extra 5% off GOTAGO!

But..... I did realize that I actually liked the hunt for vintage jewelry supplies more than I did creating the jewelry, must be a shopping thing, lol.  I didn't want to give up my dream of being self employed and found that the supply end would be my way, and at the same time takes a lot less time away from my family.  So I opened a second shop selling Vintage Chic jewelry supplies Alyssabeths Vintage - stocked with vintage handset Czech Glass & Swarovski faceted glass jewels, cabochons, cameos, beads, filigree and so... much more.

I'm busy stocking the store for the up coming Holiday Season with lovely sparkly things!







Keep checking in, new vintage jewelry supplies are added daily!

Thanks for stopping by,

Beth

My New Esty Vintage Jewelry Supply Shop is Open!

As you can imagine I have absolutely tons of vintage jewelry supplies, re-purposed and salvaged pieces stock piled for my own jewelry creations for my Jewelry Shop Alyssabeths.  And, well I do, I really do!!  (by the way my hubby doesn't know exactly how much so, let's just keep it between us girls). 

Several months ago, for some crazy reason, decided to open a second shop selling mostly vintage, but always lovely and unique jewelry supplies - cameos, cabochons, brass set jewels and stones, and salvaged pieces, vintage and new brass components and filigree.  Since sometime before Christmas I've been having a great time finding treasures for my new shop Alyssabeths Vintage and as late last week opened the shop up! 

Only a few items are listed so far, but there is so much more to come, so I hope if you are a jewelry designer, crafter, mix media artist or scrapbooker that you will stop by often!  Oh... and for my US customers there is flat shipping rate of only $2.50!  And as always, a little surprise will be included in each shipment.
Sign-up as a follower on the blog to keep up with Sales and Events from both stores!
