Site Inventory Cleanup

Wednesday, December 2, 2009 1:17:36 PM MST

I'll be removing out of stock and discontinued items from the site for the next few days. I'll be adding some new items as fast as we can photograph them, but there may be a period where we have only a few items listed on the site.

system upgrade

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 8:27:49 AM MDT

I'm going to try to upgrade the e-commerce software for this site today. If it goes smoothly, you shouldn't notice any problems. If it doesn't, the site may be down for a while.

EDIT - Well, that was ugly. Things seem to be running alright now. I installed a new blog module so there may be some more weirdness as I configure it.

We're Back!

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 5:32:55 PM MDT

OK, we've actually been back for a couple of weeks, so I suppose that we have already been back for a while now. We had a good time at ACRE, even though Las Vegas is not our favorite town. We met a lot of nice people, ate some good food, and even sold some jewelry. We took a detour to see the Grand Canyon on our way back, which was well worth the drive.

On the Road Again.

Wednesday, May 27, 2009 9:59:50 PM MDT

We're frantically packing and doing all the last minute tasks for our trip to Las Vegas for the ACRE show. Susan has a bunch of new items for the show, which I'll have to frantically add to the site after we get back. We won't be shipping anything between May 28 and June 8, since we'll be on the road. Now I must go pack socks.

ACRE Las Vegas show and Wholesalecrafts.com

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 4:02:59 PM MDT

We will be at the American Craft Retailers Expo (ACRE) in Las Vegas from May 31 through June 2nd. We'll be in booth 215. We also have a page on wholesalecrafts.com. Retailers can buy our jewelry through wholesalecrafts.com or through this site. Wholesalecrafts.com requires a free membership for retailers, but you may e-mail us for a visitor's password so you can browse their site. They have about 1300 artist members, so there is a lot to see there.

Work in Progress

Sunday, March 8, 2009 4:40:50 PM MDT

Susan is working on some new designs using vintage buttons as molds. One of the buttons she is using is this one, which belonged to a robe she had as a child. This button is used as the mold for the rose earrings (which are on the site) and the new rose bracelet (which isn't).

Susan's Button

Here are some of the new designs and some old buttons. She's placed some of them over pieces of can to see how they look. The bird shape is well on its way to becoming a pin.

Here are some of the cans we've been using:

Finally, here are some more resin button designs, backed with pieces cut from the cans above.

We're Open!

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 2:51:13 PM MST

We are finally open and ready for business. The earring and necklace selection has been severely depleted by the recent tradeshow, but I'll soon add more items.

Are we there yet?

Tuesday, February 17, 2009 8:37:38 AM MST

I thought I had all of my ducks in a row for the site opening, but it appears that some of them have wandered off. Looks like the site opening is going to be delayed while I do some duck herding.

I've added a page of photos of Susan's jewelry. With one exception, they are the same old photos that were on our old site.

Wholesale Sales

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 12:48:50 PM MST

Susan tells me that she's had some people ask about buying wholesale from our site. Yes you can! Just open an account on the site and then call or e-mail us with your account name, business name and EIN number and we'll set up your account for wholesale purchases. Also let us know if you'd like to have your store listed on our site.

It's (almost) Alive!

Monday, February 9, 2009 5:18:29 PM MST

Welcome to the new Restart Jewelry site! Susan is at the San Francisco International Gift Fair from Saturday, February 7th through Monday February 9th. She's in both 501 in the Vintage section. All of our inventory went to the show with her, so I've marked everything on the site as out of stock until she gets back. I'll get the actual, buyable inventory up on the site after the 12th of February.
