"Artisan Component Marketplace" opens doors today!

I have a surprise announcement for you today!  

This afternoon I just launched my third online store!   Like my new store on Etsy, this one is also called "Metapolies™" and is on a brand new online marketplace for artisan jewelry bead and component makers.  

Marla James (MarlasMud) is the founder of the new selling venue.  She and a small merry band of 5 other component makers (myself included) have been working to set up the site. 
  




It's called the "Artisan Component Marketplace" or "ACM" for short.  My Metapolies™ store is currently one of six but there are more stores being added soon!  


If you are interested in joining, there is detailed information in the "Learn about ACM" and
"Team Member Pricing" sections!   

I hope you'll pay a visit to the new ACM site and continue to find me in all my locations!   There are stores-full of unique items in every location!

Shai's a winner in so many ways!

Congrats to Shaiha Williams, winner of the Sharyl's Jewelry shopping bag from the Back-to-School give-away drawing last weekend!  

...And this seems a great time to mention that Shaiha has just opened a new store!  I've been watching her design pieces for quite a while, and I'm so excited to now see her designs appearing in her own store!

BACK2SCHOOL Sale & Give-away!

Back-to-school has always been one of my favorite times of the year!   It's full of new beginnings, new promise, high expectations, and anticipation!  

While the schools in our area started several weeks ago, I know some areas just began this week.   So I'm thinking it's not too late to celebrate with a Back-to-School sale in my Sharyl's Jewelry store on Artfire!  

Everything in the store is on sale for 20% off price shown through Sun. 9/7/14 with code: BACK2SCHOOL

• metal components 
• polymer clay beads 
• jewelry
• even Clearance items!

I'm also giving away a canvas shopping bag!  Check poster below for details!

Sale & give-away applies to Artfire store only, but please visit my Metapolies™ store on Etsy too!

Many thanks and Happy Back-to-School!  Let's celebrate!

Happy Labor Day!

Sept. 1?   Happy Labor Day!  

But yikes!  Where does time go?   It's been a couple of weeks since I posted here with announcements of the new Metapolies™ store on Etsy and 2 weeks of back-to-back sales! 

You may suspect I've been kicking back, enjoying the 95+ degree weather here in Kansas the last few weeks...   (um,...about that...)  ...but really I've trying to keep cool inside!   

I've been busy making loads of metal components, filling up the new store on Etsy, getting ready for a Fall event, and working on several special projects due soon!  

This is not much to show for all those hours of work, but here are just a few pics of items I added just a moment ago:

So what have YOU all been doing?   Drop me a comment and share!     

Be safe and happy, and have a good Labor Day!  Enjoy the end of Summer!

~Sharyl
