Kirameku in 2014

Good evening everyone ! : )

Oh yes, as I mentioned in my previous post, time has fly. But what about Kirameku you might say? Did you left it on the side too like your blog? Well, yes and no… I didn't had enough time on my hand to do as many new products and promotions as I wish I had, but I enlisted in more craft fairs than in 2011. Some were good and some were bad but overall, I love it as much as the first time I tried it and I want to do 3 craft shows at least this year. I'm very glad Etsy has a Local market prototype and I can't wait to use it! Basically you can put up in your shop the location of your upcoming craft fairs. That is awesome! 

Now, I've had more free time on my hands from the end of 2013 and for the beginning of 2014. So, as a good graphic designer, I wasn't totally satisfied about my shop's image, so I rebranded it! Let me show you, I'm so proud of it! :D

Here's the Valentine's day shop banner. A lot of my visitors loved the bookeh effect on the Christmas banner, so I decided to keep it for this one too.

 Here are the ads that you will see on a few blogs and websites.

And here is the wonderful mini-cards from Moo! :D I simply love Moo and I love their products  Quality print, affordable prices, funky options and made from sustainable sources …? What more can you ask?! 
And now I still have to work on my packaging. I'll keep you guys posted : )

Frosted Berry rings for the Holidays

The Vintage Berry collection 

The Dangle and Drop earrings

And the Mother of Pearl earrings

''But, what about the paper earrings'' you'll say. ''I loved those!'' Well, a new collection is still in R&D, but I found some amazing new papers and I think they will be perfect for this fall! Right now with the scarves and all, I don't think long dangling paper earrings are such a good idea. I'm a big fan of those, but it's such a mess when they get stuck in your favourite scarf… :S

Yep yep, I sure kept busy! I've also introduced a wedding collection in my necklaces - those have pearls and Swarovski crystals in plus of the classic berry charm.

Also, last but not least, there was a lot of re-shooting my products in the last few months. It was a huge task but I think it was definitely worth it! I read a lot about online marketing and I want to share a few articles with you about it. But that's going to be for another time.

So, let`s sum this up ! 
Sales : 123
Twitter follower : 627
Blog follower : 92
Items : 69
Heart shop : 750

Thank you so much for taking the time to check all my hard work ! : )

Busy Bee

Another hot hot summer day ! :P

Before I go to my backyard getting my tan back, I just wanted to do a small update.

I didin`t wrote yesterday because I was busy making jewlery with swarovski crytals. I loooooooooove them, they are so shiny and the colors are just... perfect !

Here is a peek of one pair of earrings I`ll be listing tonight :P



Bermuda Blue Swarovski Earrings


I have a lot lot to do today, I have to cook my muffins - wich I kept saying for the past two weeks lol - cleaning, laundry and all that stuff... Yay... -_-''

But most importantly, I`ll be trying this Project wonderful advertising thinghy.

Quickly, if you don`t know about this project, it is that you can advertise for free or very cheap prices on blogs and wesites. I`ve asked my fellow etsians about it and the opinions are pretty much 50-50, so I will give it a try and keep you guys posted. Advertising is cool, but for that you must have a good budget and all. I`ll try it out first with PW, and after I will try out a few cool websites I came across.

So, I`ll stop saying it and I`ll be on my way to open up this account...

See ya tonight !
