If I wasn’t so set on my plans for a shop facelift, I’d be regretting embarking on it already. It is surely the worst time of year to be taking masses of photos. I have a good number of new pieces, and I’ve taken dozens of pictures of some of them and I still don’t have the necessary five advised by Etsy. In fact, I don’t even have one that I like of this necklace.

There are little faceted labradorite tubes between the larger czech glass beads (which are also more lovely than they look here). They give off wonderful flashes. You can see some trace of it here but its nowhere near that you can see by eye. To make things worse, the pendant is proving tricky to photograph on the white background. Anyway, I thought I’d stop by to share some of my more successful pics of what’s to come.

Tomorrow will be another day of crouching in the cold trying to get decent pictures. I may be some time. In the meantime, the sale continues on. Thanks to Picmonkey, I managed to put together a couple of collages of pieces available. All the earrings are currently available for between £6 and £10, and the bracelets for £10 to £15. All you need to do is enter the discount code (SPRINGCLEAN) when you check out. They’re rather ridiculous prices, really, and ones I won’t be able to offer on these new pieces - so now’s the time to buy, if you’re after a bargain! Click here to get shopping.

Right, time I got back to the photoshopping…
