New stuff and looking ahead

For the Frozen hunt, until month end, this lovely set is available. I was rather pleased with how it came out - so much so that I made sets in pink and blue for store release. I can't decide which color is my favorite since I like them all! If you'd like pics of someone wearing these, check out Hans Inshan's blog and flicker.

For Cherish Charms, I've added a Fall Collection, gathering some new and some previously released charms. A good deal for some very nice charms, inspired by my childhood memories of raking leaves, picking apples and all the other fall things.

Cherish Charms has already had one limited edition charm go into charm history - another limited edition is ending on 11/24 and a new one starts.....

The Captured Crystal charm is an introduction charm for Cherish Charms. I looked at is as my dreams and ideas for the product line had been captured and conquered!

AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 24.....This sweet, holiday charm reminds me of those colorful toy trains that babies and toddlers push around on the floor. Choo choo!!! This charm is available through December 31st so don't forget to stop by after 11/24 and get yours!

Upcoming......

- I am SO excited to be part of this - stay tuned for posts. I have 2 exclusives for it and loads of other stuff including special Cherish Charms commemorating the theme of Stage Magic.....Voila!

-CHRISTKINDLMARKT in Mieville - I just love the Mieville sims and I try to participate in their events as much as I can. And for Christmas, Perryn and Mike have done a fantastic job on the market area! I feel Christmasy all over whenever I go there! It officially opens December 1st.....

I think that's enough for now.....I guess I make up for not blogging often with long, informative ones.....sorry!

See you soon!

Always Eclectic Jewelry Main Store

Welcome 2012!!

A new year always seems to bring hope and dreams. Besides the usual world peace and stamp out world hunger, I have some wishes for Always Eclectic...

.....Continue expanding the jewelry lines. I'm envisioning 3 lines - Victorian, Renaissance, and anything that doesn't fit into the first two!

.....Take or at least consider custom work requests. I completed one recently for the Dr. Who store in Mieville Wells (Who's Who). The owner seemed quite pleased with the outcome. There is more than one way to increase brand awareness!

.....Create a line of jewelry for Tinies. I'm not sure how I want to take this. I could just make reduced sized versions of my normal lines, or I could create silly stuff that would only make sense on Tinies. I think I may take a tiny, Tiny survey to see.

.....Have a stall or small store in each specialty area - Victorian, Renaissance and Tinies. This is easy enough to do for Victorian (already there!) and Tinies (there's a Victorian Tinies sim (Mieville Shelley) and there's Raglan). Renaissance seems a bit more difficult as most of the sims seem to be roleplay sims. This will probably take some research.

.....Learn about mesh in relation to jewelry making. I keep hearing that mesh is great for jewelry - I'd like to find out why and how mesh is created, etc. This is a stretch goal as I don't anticipate being ready for it for a while. I'm learning enough the way I'm going between Sculpt Studio and Blender and Photoshop and Illustrator.

.....Trust my own instincts. Recently I got myself into a, um, opinion war between a couple of strong willed, well meaning people. It got very uncomfortable for me. If I had stuck with my guns in the first place, I would not have had nearly the problems I ended up with.

I think that's plenty!!! I'll try to readdress these points periodically to see if I'm making progress or if the direction has changed. Makes sense for now though!

Happy New Year everyone!

Twas the night before Christmas....

...and all through SL
Many creatures were stirring
Non-creatures as well.

And I as a diligent shopkeeper do
Some clean up, some stock up,
some straighten up too.

Through the hunt hints I go
through SL type snow
Friendly help waiting
to keep me a go.


To the top of my house
to the bottom of my stash
Victorian christmas dress hunting
and off in a flash.


To a Mieville fun party
Thanks Perryn, it was marvy!
We dance and we laugh
Then I must go get tiny!


Back to the stash
For my new w00tmas flash
then up to Raglan
for the fun w00tmas bash.


White reindeer have taken
the stage it is clear
It must be a conspiracy
to start the new year!

So I'll say Merry Christmas, happy w00tmas to all
Happy holidays to you all!
