Yes, I have been a baaaad blogger for not keeping up to date on what's new with OdLibby's. Life just seems to bombard you all at once, does it not? :) On top of not posting my latest creations, I was also wiped out of my stock one weekend when I made a trip home to see family. Cousins and Aunts make the best customers! :) They left me depleted like a "Going Out of Business" sale! So.....what's next, you say? Cue in my newest venture...Etsy. I absolutely love this website...just a wonderfully creative collection of talented artists sharing their wares to the virtual public (with a few off the walls finds that definitely need to be posted on "Regretsy"). Etsy is like a arts and crafts festival that never ends! Why not open a OdLibby*s shop for myself? So...I did. :)</div><div style="color: #f6b26b;">I must say that it's been a fun experience so far, and even though I haven't had the mad rush of sales as I did in my Aunt Glenna's kitchen a few months before, I do have a good feeling that I will prosper, learn and grow. Check out my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/OdLibbys?view_type=gallery&show_panel=true">shoppe</a>, and feel free to ask any questions. Occasionally, you may see that I also make other things beside jewelry, but my first and foremost love will be "anything that glitters".</div><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">It started off as a simple hobby of jewelry making to de-stress at home, but has recently turned into the beginnings of a (side) cash cow. At the suggestions of my friends and family, I have begun to sell some of my pieces, and I am pleased that so many have shown their approval to my work. Therefore, <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/OdLibby" style="color: white;">OdLibby*s</a><span style="color: white;"> </span>has been born, created from the names of my beloved(s), Odysey and Liberty, who have shown their support by sitting at my feet under the dining room table while I work.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">Each one of my pieces is handcrafted by myself, and given a name to distinguish their unique quality. I am a total magpie when it comes to shiny, sparkly things, so it has been only natural that I find enjoyment in creating "baubles" with my own hands. :) I find inspiration from many different things that I come across in this world from nature, culture, history, or the arts...from the simple to the exotic</span>. <span style="font-size: large;">I think it is awesome that I can share with others, while making a little cash in the process. Who wouldn't love that? ;)</span> <span style="font-size: large;">I plan on posting some of my work here in the hopes of inspiring others. Definitely, share your comments. :)</span>ChicChickoryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12089186147265863160noreply@blogger.com3
