1000th Sale on Etsy Giveaway!!

When I opened Hapa Girls on Etsy almost 3 years ago, I never imagined I would have 1000 sales!  Actually it is probably more with all the custom multiple listings I've done, but still 1000!

 In honor of this personal milestone, I have decided to do a 1000th Sale Giveaway!!! You are probably wondering what you have to do to enter this giveaway?

Rules:
1.Visit my Etsy shop (if you haven't already) and take a look around.
2. Go to my Face Book Fan Page and post to my wall your favorite item in my shop.
3. Leave a comment and your contact info under this blog post.

How easy is that?

*I will be giving out numbers to everyone entering in the order of the information left in this blog post.
*I will pick a winner randomly with the help of Random.org.  I will announce the winner on my Face Book Fan Page!
*This giveaway starts TODAY, November 29th and will end on DECEMBER 6th (1 week from the start date.)

Oh! I bet you are wondering what I am giving away!!!!!  Well, since this ring was one of the top trending items on Wanelo with over 385 saves, I'm giving away one of my new Cherry Blossom Branch Adjustable Rings! You will have the choice of the Rounded petals or the pointed petals.

Good Luck and Thank You for making my 1000th sale possible!

I love August!

I hate the fact that summer is coming to an end but I love the month of August because my daughter is turning 4!  Not only is it her Birthday but she is also starting pre-school.  Yes I have waited to the very end of her 3 years to put her in school and I am glad I did.  Although it's been great being a stay at home mom, it's now time to let her go.  I think she may have a hard time the first few days but I know I will have a harder time letting her go.

Happy Birthday!!!

 

 

Bring on the Holiday Season!

Look for new Fall and winter items in my Etsy shop!

What's going on in the studio?

Key, Keys, Keys!

When I get an idea in my head, there is no stopping me!  Right now I am obsessed with making key style pendants.  These are my newest additions.

I have also added a new Lotus pendant to my ever growing collection of flowers.  I started making this blossom about a year ago but only offered it in my shop when one was made.  It is now available as a made to order item. Let's see how it does!!!

Spring Cleaning  

I know some metal artists participate in challenges such as "Ring a Day".  I would love to do that but there is not enough time in a day, week or month to devote the energy needed to come up with designs for a new ring EVERYDAY.  I also can't see myself creating so many pieces that may never find a new home but the plastic container I keep them in! 

On that note, one doesn't have to participate in a challenge to have excess rings and pendants. I think all jewelry artists/Metalsmiths, have pieces they have made tucked away in  baggies titled, "NEED TO LIST ON ETSY", or "NEED TO RE-PHOTOGRAPH"! 

It may have taken me 2 years but I final am starting to clean out those baggies and get these pieces out for public viewing!  Visit my "Is this Ring Your Size" section of Hapa Girls and get Free Shipping !

It's always nice to make it to Etsy's Front page!

The last time a ring of mine was featured on the front page of Etsy, I was not home to see it. So you can imagined how shocked I was to log into Craftcult and see over 140 item hearts! My first thought was, I might be on the front page!!! I was!!!

I find it amazing that in 1 hour on the front page of Etsy can generate over 30 new shop hearts, 140+ item hearts (95 of those hearts just on the ring featured) and 3 sales. 

Thank you to Pilulajula for featuring me in her treasury!

Something New!

My Cherry Blossom lantern pendant came out exactly the way I envisioned it! I am very excited to be added this one of a kind piece to my Etsy shop!

Christmas is on the way!

November was a crazy month for Hapa Girls! I appreciate all the new customers and my returning customers.

Now that Thanksgiving has past and the Christmas decorations are up, I am slowly adding new items to my Etsy, Zibbet, Bonanza and Craft is Art shops. Stop by and do some window shopping!!

This past month I have also been helping my sister start up her own Etsy shop, Urban Corner. Currently she has about 7 items listed and more on the way! Urban Corner specializes in handmade Leather Wrap bracelets.  I am quite fond of a few of her designs and am hoping she will be surprising me with one for Christmas!!
Stop by Urban Corner and show her some handmade love with a "Heart"
