Bring on 2012!

2011 was a great year for Hapa Girls and I have all of my fans, followers and customers to thank for it!!!!

I am now ready to embark on 2012 with new goals and resolutions.  I am also looking forward to gaining new contacts and bringing new designs to life. 

What's Coming in 2012

January 8, 2012 will mark my 3rd year on Etsy! It's been an awesome experience and I feel very fortunate for all of the followers, fans, admirers and contacts I have made through this ever growing Handmade Market Place.

If you did not know this by now, every year I have an ETSY Anniversary Giveaway!!  The first year I gave away a Cherry Blossom Key Chain.  The second year I gave away a pair of Cherry Blossom earrings.  This year, I thought I would change it up a bit!  I will be posting my, "Anniversary Giveaway" starting January 1, 2012 ~


Have a safe and Happy New Year!!!

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?

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!

It's that time of year...

When everyone is rushing to find the perfect gift for their family and friends.  If you are in need for help to find that special unique gift, Pinterest and Wanelo prove to be very helpful. Thousands of items from handmade Artisans can be found on both sites.

It's official!

Hapa Girls is kicking off the Holiday shopping season with the first of many Holiday items ready to ship!

I hope to get more pendants and earrings listed in the coming month.  All items will be inspired by the Holiday season but can be worn year round!!!

Pinterest and Wanelo

I know a lot of you are addicted to pinning products on Pinterest, I know my sister is!!  Has anyone tried Wanelo?  I came across Wanelo while looking at my Etsy Shop Stats.  I noticed I had quite a few visits from the site and thought I would check it out.  I signed up, it's free, and started searching through the many products displayed.  Like Pinterest, you can pin products to Wanelo the same way.  It's a great way to promote your products as well as find new products that are trending today.  Give it a try, you may find that someone has already been promoting your products for you! Pay it Forward!!

Just one of the many popular items on Wanelo

Get a jump start on this coming Holiday Season!

I can't believe how fast September has flown by!!  I told myself that I would be more prepared this Holiday season than I was last season so I will be stocking up on  Cherry Blossom earrings and Cherry Blossom Branch Cuff bracelets.  They were a hit last year so I hope to be fully stocked in that area.

I also hope to be adding a few "One of a Kind" items to my shop for those guys who always come in for that last minute gift!!! You know who you are - MEN!!!!!!

Enough about my shop!

I hope to have enough time to promote great gift ideas from other Etsy Artist.  I do most of my promoting on my Facebook Fan page, so if you would like to post your shop name on my page or follow me (no obligation), stop by and say Hi!
