Woo-hoo!

I officially have 200 items for sale!


I'm sure that, for some people, this is not important news.  To me, however, this represents an achievement!  I'm so happy!


Working on my store, itself, makes me happy...  This is an excerpt from a letter I recently wrote to my mother, and I think that it sums everything up quite nicely: 



I really have been doing a lot of work on my store recently.  I have been taking photos to replace some of the not-as-good photos online.  I have been creating new designs (like the hairmarks, and the ouroboros necklaces).  I have been posting many items—both repeat designs, and new ones.


And, through it all, I realized something the other day… something that I had already known, but never actually thought about.  I realized that working on my store brings me joy.  True, I can get stressed about the details and imaginary deadlines that I enforce upon myself—but if I am upset, working on my store brings me peace.  Case in point: the other day, I was really anxious and worried about something… and then I sat down, worked on my store, and it was like the stress just faded away.
 
Can you believe it?  


I, certainly, can't believe it.  My store, my labor of love, has come a long way from its humble beginnings...  I'm excited to see what the future holds for it!  


I am so, so blessed to be doing what I love!
