Updates

Just wanted to give an update because I've been M.I.A. on my blog lately.

I've been very busy revamping all the titles, tags and descriptions in my Etsy shop to conform with the new SEO guidelines. It's not really the way I prefer to spend my time, but it had to be done.

I've also picked up a few new wholesale accounts, which I'm very excited about! They've been keeping me busy during this slow Etsy spring.

In addition, I've been squeezing in some time to create new bridal jewelry and summer accessories that I can't wait to debut in my shop. They'll be coming soon, so keep an eye out!

On the home front, prom is coming! We picked up my daughter's gown this week for her Junior Prom. It's a gorgeous royal blue with sequin designs. I'll definitely post the pics next month.

Also, the weather's been beautiful so we've been washing down the decks, cleaning off the patio furniture, mowing the lawn...all the fun stuff that comes with nice weather. :D

I'll post again soon. Hope you all take care and have a wonderful week!

Etsy Front Page

Easter's right around the corner, and Etsy is getting ready with this great front page (which also happens to feature my Pretty Pastel Hairpin Set)!

Unfortunately, my children are too old now for all the fun things we used to do for Easter. :( Spoon races, Easter egg hunts and pictures with the Easter bunny (who always managed to show up at our parties, that busy bunny). One year we had the kids and all their cousins rolling Easter eggs up a hill in our front yard with their noses to win prizes! You've heard of "What would you do for a Klondike bar?". You'd be amazed what children will do for toys from the Dollar Store and bragging rights. Aaahh, those were the days...

Black Friday Cyber Monday

Yesterday was my first Black Friday on Etsy and it was CRAZY! I loved it! Everyone must be all "shopped out" today, because it's been very slow. That gives me time to get some new creations listed in time for Cyber Monday.

Just a reminder that Hot Pink Chick will be running a sale the entire extended weekend. Black Friday through Cyber Monday 10% off one item - 15% off two items - 20% off three or more items. Always free worldwide shipping!

New listings on the way...stop by and check it out!

Aaaaahhhh! She's driving!!!!

I just wanted to share some good news with everyone. My 16 year old daughter, Maddie, just got her learner's permit. Scary!!! We've been very busy practicing every day and she's really getting the hang of it! It's so strange to see your baby behind the wheel of a vehicle. I don't know if I want to laugh or cry, but I'm very proud of her.




In other news, I've been working on a new look for my shop. What do you think of my new banner and packaging? I've received a few comments from friends and family that Hot Pink Chick should at least have the color hot pink in it's branding. But I have to admit, I kind of like the irony of NOT having hot pink. Makes people wonder...I like that.

Well that's all for now, I'll check back in soon! ♥ Bonnie
