After months of consideration I have finally set up an Etsy shop. I hesitated to open one only because I didn't really see the point when I already had a website to sell my jewelry on. However, after a lot of research I found that Etsy has really strong marketing practices and that by listing with them it would bring more exposure to my work. Plus, I spent a great deal of time looking at other vendor's items on Etsy and I was really impressed with the quality of the work represented. I could spend hours looking at all the cute baby items that their sellers offer. So many cute handmade clothes, toys, home decor, you name it! Listing with Etsy has really inspired me to look into other designers/artists work and to seriously make an effort to purchase from them whenever I need that special gift for someone. With the current economy I really want to spend my money where it will directly help someone support themselves and their creative efforts rather than national chain stores. So please check out my new Esty boutique: www.angelahitt.etsy.com and let me know what you think! While you are there search for unique items from other vendors that you might be looking for, I assure you that you will be impressed! Also, if you look at the left side column you will notice that you can even shop locally, pretty cool!

Little girls love to dress up and as a mom I know I love dressing my little girl up! Now they can have their own sparkly necklace, just like mommy! Each necklace is one-of-a-kind. Necklaces are
made with Swarovski crystal, sterling silver, and features a funky charm! I am still working on the collection and will be posting them for sale on the site soon! Here is a preview of one of the necklaces and a hair bow that will be in the collection as well.

Finally, I have a new website design! After completely forgetting how to make changes to my site and spending hours trying to figure it all out again, the site has a new layout! My next project is to photograph all of the new pieces of jewelry and put them on the site. I am sooo excited about the new styles. They are bright, funky, and just in time for summer! Check out the new website format: angelahitt.com .
