Today I mailed out the biggest jewelry order I have had online so far! One of the many pieces that were purchased was this beautiful mirrored necklace that I made more than six months ago. This necklace is actually the only one of its kind that I ever made--I meant to make more, but it took so long to make that I just never got around to creating another one. I wouldn't have sold this necklace either if the customer hadn't asked for it specifically--she saw it on the first page of my website and really wanted it. Honestly, my first reaction was to say that I couldn't sell it--but then I realized that she would really love and appreciate it, and I'm happy that it is on its way to a new home with her. It does feel weird though whenever you sell a piece like that--something that you've had for months, that you just get used to having around. And then it's just gone. I even felt a little emotional when I packed it up today. But again--it's going to a good home, and I know Suzie is going to love it, so that makes it a little easier!
Here you can see the giant padded envelope that I sent all of her jewelry in today--that's a penny sitting on the left side of the envelope, so you can get some perspective of just how big this thing is. I fit eight different jewelry boxes in there! I think this is the biggest size padded envelope that I have ever seen sold.... It always feels satisfying to mail out an order though--I love packing everything up, knowing that very soon someone will be opening it up and hopefully feeling very excited about all of their jewelry! I might have to email her and ask her to take a picture of herself wearing the mirrored necklace... If she sends one, I'll post it here!! Goodnight everyone :)
