watchus.com

When I learned how to make beaded watches I fell in love with them. The problem was that, out of the blue, they would stop working. I would take them to have their batteries replaced and the repair people would say "Just buy another watch face, its not even worth replacing the battery." This happened so often that I stopped making watches because I couldn't stand behind the product. I thought I would have to stop selling watches altogether, that is, until I found watchus.com .

They explained to me that many craft watches have what is called a "Japanese movement" meaning that the insides are all made of plastic. The watches at watchus.com are a Citizens Movement and made of metal on the inside. I decided to give it a try.

When I got them in the mail I noticed the difference right away. They were more sturdy, a bit heavier in a good way, and more substantial looking. The best thing was that they were even less expensive than the 'cheap-o' watches that I was getting in the craft stores! I started making watches again and people love them. Now I feel confident selling these to customers and knowing that they are not just attractive pieces of jewelry, but sturdy time pieces. I highly recommend them.

We raised money for CHORDOMA!

This Past Friday my friends and I attended a Bowling event to honor the memory of Tyler Seaman, a recent graduate of Calhoun High School on Long Island, and younger brother of my friend Marley Jay. Tyler passed this past month of CHORDOMA, a relentless bone cancer that affects the area where the spine meets the skull. The message of the evening was that we wanted to remember Tyler as he lived and not as he suffered and passed. This is why they chose to have a Bowling event and not a Memorial Service.

Throughout the evening my friend Irene and I sold our Teardrop for CHORDOMA Necklaces. From those sales we were able to raise over $200 for the Chordoma Foundation!! I got the money order and will be sending it out tomorrow! I am so proud of the mulryjewels team and supporters who are supporting this effort and I hope that this is just a beginning and we can continue to bring awareness and support to this cause and perhaps some others.

Jewelry for Charity

A Good friend of mine recently lost his younger brother to Chordoma. He was only 18. Chordoma is described by the Chordoma Foundation as "a primary malignant bone cancer that develops from remnants of embryonic notochord in the skull-base (head) and spine." In lamens terms it is a tragedy. There is no cure and no known sucessful treatment. Survival time is about 7 years. A Tragedy
I have no words to describe the situation and, frankly, it is not my story to tell.

In honor of the family I have designed this pendant:

The "Teardrop for Chordoma" will be sold in my etsy shop as well as my ustrendy store. The cost is $35 and between $15 and $20 of the purchase will go straight to the Chordoma Foundation. It will also be featured in select retail locations in the NY area.

Chordoma is not well known but it is just as tragic as any other cancer and there is no known treatment for it as it is a bone cancer. Please help by purchasing a Teardrop Necklace or donating to the Chordoma Foundation. Thanks to all supporters and happy holidays.

Bad Events

Ok so, yeah, some events are going to be duds and you are not going to sell anything. Usually you don't take it personally and you chalk it up to experience and move on. Tonight I am feeling particularly hormonal about the event I just did. Mostly because I think that it was the planners fault and not just the way the cards fell.

This was a holiday sale in a very small venue that can fit about 60 people max. WHY were there 10 vendors? And WHY were almost half of them jewelry vendors??? At some point some responsibility should fall on the event planner to make sure that this event will actually bring in money for the vendors, especially if we PAID, yes, PAID to be there.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for sharing and having different styles suit different tastes. However, the sparse turnout at that the event left little room for Anyone to make money, let alone FOUR jewelry vendors. I was not the only one who didn't make a cent at selling jewelry. And, let's face it, handmade jewelry costs more than mass produced sparkly crap. oh yes, I said crap. I can't compete with that. I can't sell a big chunky bracelet for 15 dollars. Its just not going to happen. I am not willing to compromise in quality. My pieces are made with my heart and my time. They are (almost always) my original designs. That stuff takes time, and swarovski is not cheap.

I was told at the time of my "audition" for this event that I was the only handmade jewelry designer and there was one other with manufactured jewelry. If she told me that I would be up against the cheap stuff, the expensive stuff, and some other stuff, AND I had to pay a table fee that was pretty high for what it was. I probably would have stayed home, watched Grey's Anatomy, and had a pleasant evening. Instead I "auditioned" for the event, Spent time and money building inventory, worked on TV night, and was ignored most of the time. I just kept saying "Why am I here??".

I am surprised at my level of complaining here and I know I need to get over myself. I am not complaining, however, at the outcome of the night, so much as the fact that I was basically set up to fail and then charged for it. I learned that sometimes you have to walk away.

Update on Things

Ok, so I am over the worst of my nasty case of Strep Throat and I am no longer contagious! This means I can clean my whole apartemnt (...yay...) and get to work for the upcoming holiday sales. I am admittedly taking it slow this year due to audition season and the amoung of arias I have to work on. Also, I am giving up less of my weekends in the efforts to grow my vocal studio even more than it has been.

Having said that- Here is what is on the the Schedule: (with the blessing of my health holding up)


Thursday, November 11th- Jewelry Night at BEANBERRY Coffee house in Miller Place!
Thursday, Nov 18th- Holiday Sale at Raina's place in Woodbury.
Thursday, December 16th- Recital of Soprano, Lauren Phillips, at the
Hewlett- Woodmere library (featuring duets with me :)
Saturday, Dec 18th- Selling at the Hester Street Holiday Market

Denise, the owner, has an exquisite eye for jewelry, bags, belts, and all things accessory.

Bon Voyage Sale at the Treasure Chest

Since June 5th, 2010, the {newnew}’s Treasure Chest, a summer pop-up store, has been an oasis of hidden gems from New York City’s wealth of talented artists and artisans. The rich history and classic architecture of the island has proven to be most inspiring to our contributors. Weather it is a specialty magnet from Lenny Mud, a biking-themed messenger bag from Groundsel, an “I love Governors
Island” T- shirt from Aperture Agog, or a necklace featuring local architecture from Citibitz, many of the items in the Treasure Chest
are designed with Governors Island as its main source of inspiration.


The Partnership of Governors Island with the {newnew} Etsy Street Team has proved to be overwhelmingly successful. All through the summer they have provided local shoppers and tourists alike with a unique shopping experience in which they can view and purchase all things handmade. These items include but are not limited to jewelry, clothing, original artwork, lampshades, pottery, house wares, and beauty products.



It’s almost time to say goodbye to summer, but ,on Governors Island,
the farewell is bittersweet. Along with the Island’s closing for the
season comes savings on your favorite handmade goods from the {newnews}’s Treasure Chest. On September 3rd through the 5th you can save 25% on the entire store of local artisan crafted items .

If Governors Island is your favorite summer getaway, you must stop by for
jewelry, clothing, handbags and more, inspired by its serenity,
history and style. If you’ve yet to take the short ferry ride to this
hidden oasis, this is the perfect time to say “bon voyage” to summer
and “hello” to 25% off the best New York area Etsy items.

This magical pop up store has made its home in Historical House 6B in
the Nolan Park section of Governors Island. On September 6th, 2010,
however, the {newnew} will bury its treasure for good, only to be
found on the etsy pages of its contributing artists. Come in and
shop while you still can, landlubbers.

Stoopher and Boots

Stoopher and Boots is a new store on the Upper West side of Manhattan (Amsterdam between 78th and 79th St.) whose items are just as cute as its name. Sisters, Stephanie and Elizabeth, were given these nicknames, respectively, by their father. Seeing as how the store is filled with adorable items for babies, children, and adults alike, it is completely appropriate. Check out some of my favorite items from the store:




What started out as a simple etsy shop has turned into a "brick & mortar" filled with the whimsical, fun, and funny.

Here's the best part (for me, anyway): Stoopher and Boots will now carry selected Mulryjewels items!

Check them out online or in person!

First Sales at GI!

So, I'm not sure which items yet, but I sold my first 2 items on Governors Island this past weekend! I suspect that it was a rivoli ring and a crystal ball necklace (pictured below). I don't actually work there until July but I want to go visit this weekend if I can find the time. The house is great and it is a really great day trip from NYC. Hope to see you there!

Governor's Island is WHERE its at!

So, I visited the {newnew} street team's House on Governor's Island this afternoon. In a word: WOW. This house is amazing. The jewelry is set up like any chic NYC "Brick & Mortar" boutique.

The shop, located at House 6B in Nolan Park, Governors Island, has somewhat of a nautical theme, calling itself the etsy {newnew} "Treasure Chest" and all of the catalogues, press releases, and other promo material is amazingly designed like old treasure maps. This was a genius idea and the house looks fun, inviting, and chock-full of amazing products.



Click here to take a look at the Ferry Schedule. There are ferries from Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The island itself is an old military base and the buildings all look uniform and historical. It is like a journey to another part of the country in one 8 minute boat ride. It is tranquil and covered in green grass and shady trees. The island was closed for years and recently reopened to the public. Ther are art exhibits, food vendors, activities for kids, shopping (that's where we come in), and even theatre pieces being developed there this summer. I am so excited to be a part of this. Find out some more interesting stuff here.

Watch the ABC 7 News story here!!!

Governors island opens tomorrow, June 5th. This weekend Etsy's {newnew} street team will be virtually all over the city at various fairs. Look for us (though not me, I will be in rehearsals all weekend) at the Renegade Craft Faire in Brooklyn, The Brooklyn Flea (ooh, fish tacos, yum) at Fort Green and at the Bank at 1 Hanson Pl., the Hester St. Market downtown, The Brooklyn Indie Market , and the Fulton Stall Market at South Street Seaport!

Its a beautiful day to support local artists! Thanks, everyone!

Crafts in Chelsea

What a great street fair! Everything on 21st st. between 9th and 8th ave's was handmade and original works of art by local talent. No mass produced crap and no sneaky sales people. We had a great time...until the winds came.

I learned that whatever hollywood or the media, or pop culture says about New Yorkers being rude people is complete crap. My tent blew right into the street, Mary-Poppins-style, and 4 different people caught it and helped me take it down in the blustery wind. I also got help from my fellow {newnew}-ers when my jewelry started blowing into the middle of the street.

Even with the record-breaking winds I sold pretty well and there was no rain. I am so proud to be a part of a team that can pull together for this kind of awesome event. Thanks to Lorrie from Lenny Mud for organizing this event. We even managed to raise money for a local Public School!

$500 Worth of Giveaways!

Wow! This is the biggest giveaway EVER from the {newnew} etsy street team! This is a group of fantastically talented designers. Giveaways are for everything from clothing, to jewelry, to soap, to pottery. New giveaway every day through Friday! Enter each day! Check it all out here at http://www.thenewnew.blogspot.com

Shame on Sugarplum

(Since I just did a glowing review of a store, I would like to continue these. Here is my next one....)

During tax time we are forced to review all of our purchases for the year and re-evaluate their importance. It can cause a montage of memories of purchases past. This year, picking up the receipt from Sugar Plum in Lynbrook, NY, I took one look and started to get really annoyed.

Last spring I was lucky enough to get to sing with the Chelsea Opera. This was an amazing opportunity that required me to wear a gown. I thought nothing of this because I do own a couple of gowns. However, when it came time to pick a gown I realized that one did not fit me correctly anymore, and the the other was severely showing its age. I decided that, though I clearly can not afford it, I do need to buy a new gown for such occasions.

It seemed like fate that later that day I heard a commercial for Sugar Plum in Lynbrook. The big draw for me was that they touted their "plus-sizes on the rack." Being a plus-sized gal myself, I realize how difficult it can be to find things in my size without ordering it in advance. Very soon after I made the trip.

I figured this would be very easy: "I need a dress...Today! I am going to spend money here! Easy commission." I thought they would be thrilled and very helpful. The woman that was helping me,however, kept saying to me that they don't have much in the way of my size. First of all, "my size" is a 16, NOT a 24, and they advertise to have sizes 2-28. It was their big selling point. She had a very "Well, I'll show you what we have, but..." kind of attitude about the whole thing. As a girl of a bigger size I have heard this comment before, but usually not from stores that talk up their plus-size section.

As I interacted with her and tried on the measly selection that they did have I became increasingly disappointed, pressured that I may not find a dress, and actually apologetic for being the size that I am! I would hear her say "well, if you had let us know earlier we could have ordered this in your size." This is not the ideal shopping experience. The one great thing was that I ran into my Boss from my Summer job who was there buying a dress for an upcoming event. I knew SHE, who is very fashionable (size 6-8 TOPS) and a great lady, would at least be honest with me and keep my head in reality.

As we both tried on dresses I did eventually find a dress that fit and was not ugly on me. Here is the thing: after you have tried on things that are so wrong for your body and you find something that "fits and is not ugly" it starts to look pretty good to you. Thinking that this was my last hope I showed it to my boss and she say is was "good." Not great, but good. She was trying to tell me that I could do better. The dress was basically the same color as the Statue of Liberty (ick), which totally washed out my skin as I am very pale and need to wear saturated colors. It was also SATIN, which is super-unforgiving, even for skinny people!! The logical side of me would have never even tried that dress on, knowing these two facts. However I did need a dress for a concert later that week and felt like this was my last chance.

Feeling not-quite-right about this I told her that I would think on it and come back later that day. My boss agreed and said the same for HER dress, which looked amazing on her! This confused me but I let it go. I did later come back and buy the dress because I figured that a dress that fit was better than a dress that didn't. I spent over 200$ on this dress that was "not ugly" and since it was on sale it was a final sale dress. I later found out that my boss did not buy HER dress because she thought that the lady was so rude to ME and she didn't want to give them any business. Too bad I already did.

Well, there you have it. I took the dress to rehearsal, they said it was pretty but I could have found lots of dresses in my size at Davids Bridal. DUH. I went there and bought a much cheaper dress that looked stunning on me and ended up wearing that one for the concert. The "lady liberty" dress still hangs, unworn, in my closet, and I am still paying the credit card bill.
Here is me in the new gown:

Jewelry by Mulryjewels, of course.

I learned a very important and very expensive lesson: DON'T COMPROMISE. That is what Sugar Plum, however unintentionally, had me do. The sales lady could have been a lot more positive about the situation and I might not have written this blog. I do not want to slam this store as I have heard reviews of people having a good experience there. I, and my boss, were not two of them, though she would have had a great experience if she did not view My experience. I will not be going there for future dress needs. You are free to decide for yourself.

Vintage Heaven

So, as some of you know one of my favorite stores ever is the Plus-sized Vintage Boutique Re/Dress. They have fabulous vintage and modern-day clothes for the fuller woman. They also have an amazing selection of shoes and jewelry for all sizes of woman. Drag queens: I'm sure you already know about this store but if you dont- Go Check it Out!

Anyway, Re/Dress is responsible for my head-to-toe look here in the FABULOUS siging group the Boop Troupe:

Special thanks to Jofia for hair and make-up and SABRINA SHAPOLSKY for photography!

The best thing is that the whole look: dress, belt, and shoes, costs less than $75!

Located in lovely Carol Gardens, Brooklyn (where I would SO live), Re/Dress buys and sells plus-sized clothing and accessories. They also have the occasional plus-sized model search. Their prices are so reasonable and the people who work there are so nice and also very fabulous plus-sized beauties. I really didn't know that I could find vintage clothes in my size and now I am a total junkie. WORK!

Scam?

So, in last months blogging I wrote about how this blog "won an award" for a featured blog and I put the thank yous and the links, etc. This week I got an email saying "we featured your blog and could you please put our link in your front page." That sounds reasonable so, as you can see I put "hp printer cartridges" in my "Special Thanks" section.

The next day I got the same email from a different printer company siting the same blog awards and asking me to put a link to THEM. Then TODAY I got the same email AGAIN asking me to link to Epsom printers. What is the deal?? So I guess every printer cartridge company ever made gave me an award and now I have to link all of them?? Obviously this is some kind of scam and I am not going to put a million links to a million different printer companies on this blog. The point of this blog is not for people to buy printers or cartridges. They can take their award right back!

Bloggers- if you get this "award" report it as spam, ok?

Featured Item for Spring

The colors of spring have been majorly inspiring me this season!

That is why, for Spring, I would like to feature the Crystal Ball! It is just a fun pop of color that can jazz up a great spring dress or a tank, jeans, and flipflops!

Beautiful as a simple but sparkly necklace. Also great as Earrings!

See more at Mulryjewels and enjoy the weather!
