Yesterday I made my very first sale. Technically it was two.
I took three pendants into the vet's office with me to show to the receptionist who has been hounding me for the past 6 weeks. :) She bought the blue lace agate in gold for herself and the "sparkly raspberry-color" mystery cab in silver for her daughter. Total tab: $55. I walked out of the office feeling bouncing-off-the-walls happy for selling something I made and SO guilty for charging so much for them! I just know something will go wrong and a pendant will break or she will decide (or someone will tell her) that she overpaid.
And all this makes me realize how much I have to learn and how woefully unprepared I still am for making this into a business. I need to learn to make more than the one type of pendant, and I need to put more effort into it. I have been thus far only working on jewelry when the mood strikes. Then there is the question of coming up with business name and getting all of that junk setup. And a web site, gotta have a web site..... I know I am thinking way far in advance. But my brain keeps clicking on this stuff. Makes it really hard to sleep at night! :)
Anyways I just wanted to share!
