Musings: From Concept to Creation....
http://laurastaley.blogspot.com/2010/08/from-concept-to-creation.html
Monday, August 16, 2010. From Concept to Creation. My newest creation was a fun collaboration between a beautiful bride and myself. After creating her bridesmaids' necklaces for her September wedding, we started to work on her bridal necklace (still under construction) and a necklace originally for her rehearsal dinner, but now to be worn as a statement piece at a friends wedding. That is a show piece! Nice job. Connie. August 16, 2010 at 5:28 PM. August 24, 2010 at 6:38 AM. August 25, 2010 at 10:55 PM.

Handmade Business Blog: September 2012
http://handmade-business.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Over the past few months Etsy has started letting users opt in to prototype features before they become available to all users. I really recommend keeping an eye out for the prototypes because they can give you some great new features before everyone else gets them. The downside? These are prototypes which means they often still need a little work and change frequently. For new prototypes that are available. Add Item to Treasury from Item Page. Similar Items in Search Results.
