The Rockin Bead - Update

So the little store that could is still going. There has been many ups and tons of downs but i haven't given up! I want to say that my thing is lack of social media promoting. I am not too good at it, and I am shy. I once saw a pic of someone selling jewelry and another person wrote that they were copying and that someone else had that charm, and both went on and on and that SCARED me. I mean there are only so many stores to buy charms and of course people are going to have the same charm.. I worry too much about what if that person things I am copying them. Another thing that I am getting better at is pricing. Painting beads and the process of getting the lines straight and neat is hard work, and although I am aware that is a ton of work I often feel bad pricing them. I often think well I want the shopper to find good quality at a good price and, as a mom myself, I want them to save. I am getting better at getting the right balance.

Still Going Strong..

Jeez! It's been quite a while since I wrote on my little space in the "blog world". I would like to dedicate this special space to my mother in law Maria. To say that she was the music anywhere she went couldn't be more true. She lit up every space, she fit anywhere you would put her, and she always had a funny story that will make even the most depress laugh. She died 5/11/16. Her laugh lives on through her children and her entire family. I was very fortunate to call her my mother in law. I like to imagine that her and my grandmother met up and hugged and just laughed..they were very fond of each other. Till we meet again.


This is a picture of my grandmother and my mother in-law the day my cousin had her quincenera.
