How did you start finding and then selling your beautiful glass beads & jewelry-making materials?<\/h4>\n

Diana & Gary, her black Lab<\/p><\/div>\n

Ten years ago, my son was just a toddler and I was looking for a business that I could run out of our home. I took a jewelry making class for fun and that’s where my love of beads started. I had access to the Denver Merchandise Mart and at that time there was a bead wholesaler at the mart who specialized in Czech Glass. I fell in love with Czech Glass Beads and began to sell them along with Bali Sterling Silver Beads on eBay. A few years into selling on eBay, I discovered Etsy at the suggestion of a customer of mine, I left eBay and never went back.<\/p>\n

The beads that I have now are beads that I have collected over the last 10 years. They consist of mostly Czech Glass but I also have Sterling Silver, and Swarovski crystals along with some brass chains. In 2012, I began importing my own Czech Glass Beads.<\/p>\n

This past July, I moved my business out of our home and into a large and sunny 1200 sq. foot office space not far from home. This will allow me a chance to grow even more and expand my product line.<\/p>\n

Do you create your own jewelry with the materials you find, or just love to see what your customers create?<\/h4>\n

When I have free time, I do enjoy making jewelry for family and friends.<\/p>\n

How has ShipStation helped you with your business?<\/h4>\n

I have been a long time Endicia customer but with ShipStation I can now easily process all of my orders in one place. One feature that I use often is the search feature. If I need to look up an shipment or an individual item, the ShipStation search really saves me time.<\/p>\n

Diana’s setup to print her labels<\/p><\/div>\n

What’s your favorite ShipStation feature?<\/h4>\n

It may seem like a simple one but having the ability to merge two Etsy invoices into one printable invoice through Shipstation is a great feature. It also combines the total of the order for that shipment so I know at a glance exactly how much to insure a package for.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for beautiful beads with which you make necklaces, bracelets, or any other type of jewelry, make sure to go to Mountain Shadow Design<\/a> to get them. Diana’s amazing Czech glass beads are one of a kind and perfect for all types of accessories.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
