I am well into my first week as a shopkeeper. I want to thank everyone who has come into the store. It has been a lot of fun serving up the beads to all you passionate artists, stitchers, crafters, and stringers. You've all been patient with me as I learn the ropes and ride the bumps of working the computer, scanner, printing receipts, etc. I have already sold out of some colors! I placed my first "re-order" on Wednesday, and it was already shipped yesterday.
Product Update
Ancient Hook and Eye in Yellow Bronze and Sterling
Margo was carrying a very nice finding for which I've already had requests. It is a hook clasp that she used in many of her designs. She sold the hook for $5. I've got it at the store now. I will sell the HOOK ONLY in bronze at Margo's price of $5.00. The hook and eye together are $7.50. I also have a limited number behind the counter in Sterling Silver. This order I can sell for $15 for the Hook and Eye, and $12.00 for the HOOK ONLY. With silver the way it is, it will likely be more expensive when I order it again.
