I just added a Halloween Flower Pen Arrangement to my Etsy store
It came out soooo cute! I made the Halloween pens for my craft fair and just found the little vase. I put it together and looks great!

I just added the personalized pink and black necklace to my Etsy Shop
I enjoyed making these and they came out sooooo cute. It was my first attempt at jewelry making and I figured it out pretty easily. Thank you to all the bloggers out there with their how-to blogs!!
I was also very lucky/blessed that even though I didn’t know exactly what I was ordering everything fit well. I had to learn about the sizes of the holes in the beads and gauges of the head pins and jump rings. The only thing I got wrong was the size of the bead cap. They were too big but I’ll use them later for another project 🙂
I’m very happy with how these necklaces turned out. I hope others will too!

I got a great referral at my craft show this weekend and was asked to take my flowerpens to a doctor’s office. They bought four arrangements! YAY!! Thank you for your purchase! It makes me so happy when others like my flowerpens enough to buy them!

Today’s necklace is tiger print. The image is on a glass cabochon set in a copper backing with a copper link chain. I am selling these for $10 plus shipping on Etsy

I just got home from my second vendor market. My sister went with me and we had no problem setting up the tent. We also took everything down and packed up in record speed due to a storm coming our way.

I sold my necklaces for the first time and I had a lot of interest, possible future custom orders and a few sales. At first I was afraid I had made a mistake, but as more people came by I felt better. I had lots of good feedback even if they didn’t buy anything.

I’m very tired. Stayed up until midnight all week working on the pendants and stayed up until 3am Thursday night and 1am last night. My fault for being a procrastinator. Which also meant I did my state sales and use taxes last-minute last night also.

I still feel happy about my hobby-turned-business. I am doing the 2nd Saturday Market next month as well as Sam Rayburn high school band fundraising market and car show. Maybe I’ll go in hubby’s mustang 🙂

Here are some pictures from today. I made 100 pendants this week!!! Crazy!!!

I named my little business FloralPensNThings because I knew later I would like to add different items to my listings. I have now made some cute necklaces that I will be selling at the Second Saturday Craft and Vendor Market this Saturday. Here are a few examples of what I will be offering there and on Etsy soon.
The Texans Pendant is already on Etsy.
The others will be added this weekend.
The snake and pink ones that I am wearing are magnetic so you can have the same chain and backing and switch out the little designs to match your outfits!
