When I opened Jac & Elsie, it was on a whim. I hate to admit it, but there was little thought into anything when it came to opening a jewelry shop. A friend had shown me how to use a crimp bead and needle nose pliers, and that was that. After I made about a dozen beaded bracelets, I thought, “I can never wear all these. I should try to sell them.”
And so I did. On June 1, 2009, Jaclyn1423 was born.
In my first seven months of existence, I made 24 sales. I had a vague idea how to take photos, but I’d never heard of a photo box. I hadn’t yet thought of the money I could raise for organizations that are important to me. The idea of incorporating rocks, paper and scissors into a friendship set was more than a year away.
Somehow, I never got distracted. I never got bothered by any lack of sales or views, mainly because all I wanted to do was make jewelry. I didn’t try to sponsor any blogs or network in any way. It was just fun to have a hobby.
Between then and now, I’ve made 501 sales. By many standards, it’s not much. I’ve been open for nearly three years, and plenty of other shops with much fewer time under their belts have many more sales. But for as learn-as-you-go as this has been? I’m damn proud of the accomplishment.
I’m proud that Jac & Elsie jewelry has been shipped to Greece, Sri Lanka, Japan, Australia, France and more. I’m proud that a big ol’ blog with a ton of readers saw it fit to feature my Full of Awesome necklaces and get my little shop seen by hundreds of new eyeballs. I’m proud that one time, Etsy even saw it fit to stick a Jac & Elsie original on the front page on a Saturday morning.
I have no clue why any of that stuff happened. But I know lots of time and work went into it, and I know that I have more fun with this “hobby” than I ever thought possible.
Naturally, I want to thank you. By giving you stuff. Lots of awesome stuff.
One of the greatest things about Etsy — and one thing I never even considered upon opening my shop — is the community. Etsy sellers are often so supportive. They got your back and give you encouragement. They answer your questions and share your links and act like the coworkers you don’t get when you go into business by yourself.
Since I’ve been selling on Etsy, I’ve been buying on Etsy, and so many of these awesome, supportive ladies have agreed to help me celebrate my little milestone by donating some of their treats to:

This whole post makes me want to happy dance! WooHoo 500!!
But my latest happy dance came when my son not only made the varsity baseball team because the coach recognized his awesome work ethic, but hit a double on his very first at bat (after a terrible hitting year last year!). I know, totally personal that no one else probably gets, but it made this mom want to happy dance all over the place!

My fantabulous happened a few days ago. After biopsy, scans, ultrasounds, and blood work, I received the “worthy of a crazy happy dance” good news that everything is A-OK. I’m still dancing. YAY for me!

Congrats on 500 sales! That is awesome. I think that deserves a lot of happy dances. As does the giveaway! So many lovely prices.
As for my personal fabulous news: I was accepted to a master I applied too, and that was though to get in too. I am so proud of myself because I worked so hard to get to this point. I have been ill for years and therefore had to restart my bachelor degree. Worked my butt off while battling my illness and I got my bachelor degree with good grades in December. With acceptance to this master degree I am one step closer to an independent life! It will be a bit scary giving up my financial safety net, rent out my apartment (and find tenants), as well as moving far away from friends and family (to another country..not too far though) but it will be so exciting! I am so excited. Recently I have been dancing a lot of happy dances to this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jI2EcRXR7RU It is in Swedish, so easy to understand for a Norwegian like me. Still I believe it so fabulous that people who don’t understand it still will like it. I might be wrong, but it definitely makes me dance and smile:)
My favourites on etsy are anonymous (my username is ijsbeer) so I don’t know if this counts but I did heart all these items:
From your store these where my favourite: http://www.etsy.com/listing/81783671/extra-long-powder-blue-dangle-earrings I might actually buy these if I have money left over this month.
This was my favourite bandolier from CleverHands: http://www.etsy.com/listing/82622188/journal-bandolier-kraken 🙂 Very practical! I am going to need one of these when I start on my master degree.
I loved this from Paperplanet : http://www.etsy.com/listing/88985578/illuminated-earth-light-hope I mean who doesn’t love the light of hope?
From The peach tree these where my favourite: http://www.etsy.com/listing/65419454/aaa-black-onyx-faceted-teardrop-dangle So beautiful!!
Ps: I love the little icon monster that comes with the comments. So cute! It makes me smile a lot!
Again my favourites on etsy are anonymous (my username is ijsbeer) so I don’t know if this counts but I did heart all these items:
From Lola’s Room: http://www.etsy.com/listing/75058797/sale-bird-photograph-nature-natural I love the serenity feel in that photo. It is beautiful.
From JulieAnnArt: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89152195/i-love-you-card-girl-robot-love So cute!
From A wild tonic: http://www.etsy.com/listing/89039469/vintage-purse-classic-navy-blue-handbag Great bag! Taking a look at all these shops is dangerous for my wallet. I just expanded my wish list my tenfolds..
From Elm studio I loved this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/37403199/take-a-chance-bowl?show_panel=true I think taking a chance is the best thing you can do. It is scary but either way you always learn from it. Sometimes it turns out to be just the amazing thing everyone deserves.
Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Something fabulous….something fabulous….hmmmm……..well, I found out today that I got a position as a volunteer photographer for the renaissance faire in my area (they said they loved my portfolio!!), which I’ve been DYING to get (only 3 people get to do it, and it gets a lot of exposure for my photography), so I think that’s pretty fabulous. 😀
Let’s dance to Joy Division! Weren’t them fabulous? 🙂
