My First Sale and a BRAND NEW ITEM!

Yes, that's right! Yesterday I made my first sale in my Etsy.com store - AmandaBeth Boutique!!! (thanks, Krista! :) It was quite an unexpected suprise, as I was pretty much giving the jewelry business up for lost and hoping to turn to other products. But not only was it an encouragement to me, it got me out of the business slump I had been in for a while and helped me to start work on a bunch of fantastic new items, one of which is now available in my online store!!!

May I introduce to you...

Elizabeth Siddal - Pre-Raphaelite Artist and Muse - Romantic Cameo Handbag



Please click the link above for more details on the handbag and the ill-fated woman portrayed on it. (Oh how I love a tragedy! ;)

This will be the first in (Lord willing) a long running series of handbags featuring gorgeous Pre-Raphelite paintings, turn of the century photographs, and fashion plates. Please give your input and ideas (after all, if nobody likes them; what's the point? ;) - custom bags using your own images may become an option!

Keep cool and have a blessed week (Gee! I wish I could post everyday like this! Hoping to make it a bit more frequent! :)
