Spring Clearance and Reduced Prices

I recently cut prices even more on most of my Branch earrings.At first they were $30,then $27,and today i decided to mark them down to $25.I'm trying to find the perfect sweet spot for pricing them.I know everyone's budget is different,and that price would be too much for some,hardly anything for some,and just right for others.But we'll see how it goes.I don't like fluctuating prices very much.
You may remember that post I did about figuring out jewelry prices a long time ago.
And I thought I would show you some items I have on sale,or clearance.I might put some more on spring clearance later.

Introducing my Friend's Shop - berrycrafty

I wanted to put in a few good words for my friend Kathy.I met her at church a while back,and she had with her some of the most beautiful polymer clay jewelry i've ever seen.We became friends,and since a few of her other friends had been encouraging her to sell on etsy,I helped her set up shop.Her last name is Berry,thus the reason why part of her shop name is berry.I think it's a cute name.She makes pendants,hair barrettes,butterfly magnets,keychains,and even some beads!I've seen some earrings,too,which should be up sometime.
Visit her shop at berrycrafty

Here are a few of my favorites,and I've seen them all in person,and they are so gorgeous!I've also seen some of her works in progress,and I'm still not very sure how she does it.She's been doing this for a while.She said she could teach me a little,so we'll see how that goes.Enjoy the lovely items below! :)

A Bit of a Shop Update

I've been taking so many pictures you would think I'm sick of it,but...nope!I'll take a one or two day break,and then take 100-500 pictures.haha.
One of the things I've been photography the most,besides the outdoors,is jewelry and hair things for my shop.I've been replacing lots of photos,and I think I'm almost done.
I've been wanting to get pictures of me or someone modeling some of my earrings,since I think people would like to see it on someone.I had just bought a bunch of gold clip-on earrings,since my ears aren't pierced.So I finally took pictures of me wearing some earrings on the clip-ons..Not very many pairs,only three.I was going to get more,but I was freezing!Anyone else agree that it's time for winter to be done?At least the sun came out yesterday and today.Makes me feel like spring is right around the corner,which it is.
I'll be getting more pictures of me wearing earrings later,and when i look better,too!lol.
What do you think?Do you like to see it on a person before buying?

Here are some of my photos from this afternoon~

Photography Name?

I thought I had figured out a name for my photography business.I needed a name for if I decided to go pro someday,and also so I would put a watermark on my photos.And to use for my photography blog,which i will be moving some things from my likethegold blog over to the new one once I decide.I had decided on "An Old Fashioned Girl's Photography".There's a bit of a story behind that.But then the name "Look for the Light Photography" popped into my head,and I think i might like it better.There's some stories behind choosing that name,too.Hmm...
They're both kinda long,but I seem to like long names.lol
I would love some feedback.Which do you like better?

Well,that was weird.I had a long post about the New Year,published it,and it totally disappeared.Hmm.Well,looks like I'll have to rewrite it.In the meantime,Happy New Year!
How was everybody's?

Busy Days.......

Boy oh boy,have I been busy.Not quite too busy,though almost pushing that.

One of my friends let me borrow her camera,and I took at least 2,000 photos while I had it.I learned a lot of things,like learning how to shoot in manual.It was fun.I also got to do a photo-shoot with a friend.I'll be putting up pictures from that up on my new blog.

I think I finally have figured out my photogrpahy name,and I reserved a blog name for it on wordpress.It's "An Old Fashioned Girl's Photography".I have another wordpress blog,which was for my photogrpahy,but I didn't know what name I wanted,so i decided to make another,since I think I know now.So I'll just start all over,which is ok.i haven't gotten very far on the other blog.

And the giveaway ended a few days ago.I've been so busy i just remembered!Wow.lol
We have two winners,one for $40,and one for $15.
Congrats to Donna and Sally!
