Just a hobby??

Ahhh.. my life ... what more can be said ??

I have a wonderful husband, 5 handsome sons, and 3 playful dogs...

I have a nice job, and a hobby that I really enjoy.

What more can a girl ask for? 

Well..... I would love to be able to take my hobby and make some extra money to support my hobby :)

So the real question is how does a horribly introverted girl present her handmade jewelry to the public? 

I am creating more and more pieces with the stash that I already have.  Thanks to a wonderful friend, Ellen of Vintique Jools (her creations are wonderful), I have some more stash.

Should I venture into the world of a facebook business page?  I have one that is getting started Firefly Visions, but it is slow going.  I am attempting to perfect the photo process - which is more difficult with jewelry than one would think.

Should I venture into the world of Etsy or Artfire?  I am beginning this process, but want to wait until I can get some good photos first. 

Should I try my hand at some local craft shows?  Being a horribly introverted girl does not help in the world of sales :(  However, I would if I even knew where to begin to look.  So, if you are reading this and know of a good resource for local craft shows in the Chattanooga, TN area, let me know :)

My trek begins into this unknown.  I will keep you up to date with how it goes.  If anyone has some stories or ideas to share, let me know :)

Much Love,
Shell
