The jewelry in my booth at Good Juju in the Old West Bottoms of KC

The bracelet making binge I was on kept going past my days in the hospital while I kept my sister company. I found that it nice to have my supplies out on the dining room table while the fam was here for the holidays.

Keeping busy keeps me happy.

And it’s a very portable craft, all I need is cord and a box of gemstone beads.

Plus I just love making them.  I had to practically twist my own arm to make myself stop. 

I’ve been lucky with jewelry sales at Good Juju.  

I carry a variety of new, vintage, hand made, fine jewelry and costume.

While I always do a flip flop turn around for my booth every month, I’ve discovered that the jewels do their best up front and together, not mixed in with other things.

As tempted as I am about mixing it up and moving it around, I stop myself and keep the jewelry shelves up front where they work best.  But I do switch up displays on top of and in the shelving.

This month, I’ve included some great vintage shoes, purses, and other tidbits.

I like the combos.

I’ve changed up the colors on the shelves too, and have been happy with the new look.

One thing that never goes well for me are the earrings I make.  I’ve tried soooooo many ways to display them.  Each is silver with real stones and under $20.  Often, way under.

Maybe it’s time to give up on my earrings and offer the space to things to sell better?

I’m not ready to give up yet.  Mostly because I like making them so much.  Eventually, I’ll have to decide though.   For now, I’ll stick with the mix.

First Friday weekend is going on today, if you come down, say hi!
