Would spring hurry up and get here already!?

As the pieces I’ve created for my shop, I am sooo ready for spring! Unfortunately, we are expecting more snow here in KC :(
Lucky for me I’ve got my home studio getaway where I can dream about sunny weather and create beautiful spring inspired accessories!

Miley Cyrus at Wal-Mart

How did the geniuses at Wal-Mart know that it is impossible for me to resist any article of clothing that a) has sequins b) is purple and c) under $20.00!

The Miley Cyrus and Max Azria line at Wal-Mart is all about tees, tunics, skinny jeans, leggings, short skirts and party dresses! She’s even got shoes and accessories. And I find it all totally irresistable!!!!



Never mind the fact that I’m a 24 year old wearing clothing meant for 13 year olds!

MissBettyLou is on Facebook!

I've finally created a Facebook fan page for my Etsy shop!

Next I’ll have to get a twitter account. I hear it’s a great marketing tool for etsy sellers but I have NO clue how to use it!

I’ll have to do some research on it. Anyone have any tips for a beginner tweeter?

Sold and relisted

My White Bridal Statement Necklace recently sold and has now been relisted!

Oprah's Statement Necklace!

I was watching Oprah last week and was so excited to see her wearing a statement necklace similar to the ones I make in my shop!


Update ♥ and long overdue!!!

In my last post I boasted about my 700 sales. Well, it’s been nearly a year and I’ve almost doubled my sales. But the growth of my Etsy shop has been seriously hindered by my college education. No more excuses since I have now graduated! Yep, I’m finally a college graduate. I’ve earned my Bachelor of Liberal Arts in Religious Studies with a minor in Psychology at Avila University (go Eagles).

Since my graduation in December and my subsequent recovery from the holidays and year ending at work-I’ve been hard at work crafting every chance I get!

One of my favorite arts is sculpting and I feel like I’ve honed in on that skill with the new accessories I’ve been making. I shape beautiful fabrics into darling little flowers and add any embellishment that I can find-I have an ample supply of shiny and glittery things!





They’ve been a big hit so far with all of my friends (who have great taste so I trust them implicitly)!

Yay! I've just hit over 700 sales in my Esty shop, MissBettyLou.etsy.com!!! This is so exciting for me. I’ve been working really hard lately to get out my new spring line. I’ve been having so much fun with the new pieces I’ve been coming up with. I plan on spending my summer break creating!
Thanks Etsy!!!
