It was a $50 dollar gift certificate to shop for some awesome and utterly amazing beads. She has onion, marquise, briolettes and more. If your looking for high quality hand selected beads, Licia Bead Vault is the place to go.

Feature Satuday AnBlathPaipeir on Etsy
Today we are featuring Becki Owner of AnBlathPaipeir on Etsy. Please visit her shop to see all her pretty and amazing items!
First Name: Becki
Who runs the shop? Why, I do.
What do you sell? Recycled Eco Friendly Recycled paper flowers
What made you decide to sell handmade? I have always loved working with my hands. This one is not my first shop. I started out with beaded jewelry. I still have the shop, but it is a rough market on etsy. I enjoy what I do, and I feel great that I can help the environment, and make a small chunk of change for my family in the process.
What exactly goes into developing your product (s)?
Mostly...Time...My flowers are unique in their assembly, and in their creation. Each has its own personality, and shape. They take about an hour to make. If you look at the picture, you can visualize each sheet of paper, singly its own place in the symmetry of the flower. And each one is placed individually.
What are some challenges in running your own shop?
Again, Time. I am a full time stay at home mom running a house hold of seven. I am a full time writer working on publishing my first novel, AND a full time business woman. I juggle a great deal of things in my daily life.
Anything rewarding about what you sell? How it may affect others who use it?
Did you take any classes? Not presently. But I plan to take a few creative writing classes very soon. I have considered teaching a few classes as well.
What are your favorite materials? For the flowers anything paper! I have tried nearly every type of paper.
Do you have another website besides etsy? I have a blog! http://beckisdesigns.blogspot.com/
Any goals for the rest of the year? I am hoping to get to some shows this summer, replenish my stock, and reach 30 sales!
What advice would you give to someone just starting out? Whooo...thats a big question. All I can say is don't give up.
Incredibly enough, I came upon the idea for these flowers in a dream. As far as I have searched, I am the only one with flowers like these.
Made from recycled printer paper, spray painted pink, and sealed with an acrylic sealer.
3/4 inch Star flower Ring.
$15.00

New featurette every Saturday!
I love finding new and exciting people especially on etsy. Every Saturday will feature an etsian so I hope you will look out for that. I googled my name this weekend and found only three pages lol. Anyway, I found that I was sorda kinda featured on the ReadyMade Blog! The blog spoke about using different colors in your everyday style so it features a color wheel and products that was similar. My item is the first one which actually sold on Friday! I always love combining red and gold together it's just so regal looking. I try to incorporate color into my wardrobe but it's difficult. I'm a basic black girl and while that is bad in summertime, I still love it. Do you have that same problem, comment below!
Also I will be giving away a piece of my jewelry for June. Not sure the date yet but it will be easy to enter! Look out for that later on.

Handmade Jewelry a style trend for 2010
I've been reading that the best purchase consumers are making is handmade jewelry. Obviously because the economy is not doing so great, consumers are looking for an inexpensive way to afford beautiful jewelry. The cost of real gold is so high so look out for those who want silver and even brass jewelry. If you were thinking of giving up your handmade jewelry shop don't. Keep your chin up and continue on because there will be people out there looking to make that affordable choice. All handmade items are becoming a more popular choice so whatever your selling keep it going. It's easier to give up than to keep the faith. I've been there for both my shops. Waiting and waiting for that first sale is difficult. Instead of worrying why your items are not selling, try constructing new ideas within what you know best. Hoped you enjoyed reading this please post your comments below!
