Bead on a Wire Blog

Nothing to report. Nothing new going on. Nothing new being worked on (until supplies arrive).

We leave for our second vacation on Saturday. So things will be quiet here until sometime around August 5.

My happy bride’s mother bought jewelry for the wedding as well. I’ll be doing a necklace and earrings to match her dress. We have discussed ideas and I’m just waiting for my supply order to arrive to begin work.

In other news, three items sold in the shop this weekend, which was a nice surprise.

My happy bride is back! She wants me to do her bridesmaid jewelry now, which is awesome. And her mother loves the jewelry so much that she took it to her work to show off and now also wants me to do her jewelry for the wedding.

This makes me very happy. Not just for the profit side of the business, but because it means they really do like my work. Gratifying in every way.

I never really imagined that bridal jewelry would become my bread and butter, but it looks like that may be the case. Time to learn new skills like knotting, wire wrapping, and weaving, I think.

My latest bridal customer sent the following yesterday, after she received her custom bridal jewelry set:

O MY GOODNESS JEN!!!!!!

I just got the package today and could not wait to open it. Once I saw it I almost started crying because it was just so perfect and beautiful! It looks so much more beautiful in person and I could never thank you enough for making something that was so beautiful and perfect for my wedding. It truly means the world to me that you put that much time and effort into helping me and make my jewelry. Thank you so much and I will be telling EVERYONE about your awesome work and helpful manner.

I love a happy customer.
