I contacted the shop owner, Becky, and she was thrilled to work with me. She then sent me a beautiful necklace that was called 'Cleo', and a little apple charm! That very day I got it, I put it on, and went to the store. I had people commenting on it, asking where I got it, or 'wow that's really pretty!'. Ok, yeah, I'm totally sold on Princessipal's jewelry! Here is the necklace I got:
The jewelry I recieve was very well made and packaged nicely. Ha, although at first, I couldn't figure out the clasp on the necklace! It turned out to be really easy to unlatch, and I felt like a dork! :) Thanks for the help Becky!
ME: How did you decide the name for your shop?
Becky: My career is in education. My Etsy shop is my hobby, really. I love “girly” things, and I am sort of a princess at heart. I am also a principal. Thus: Princessipal!
ME: What is your favorite thing about owning your shop and being a seller?
Becky: I’ve always loved to create. I’ve done many different things from sewing, quilting, knitting, crochet, wood carving, (a few of my pieces are on my etsy site), stained glass, interior design, etc. A few years ago, I started making lanyards for the teachers in my school to encourage them to wear their ID badges. It sort of blossomed. Other schools began to order some of my things, then health clinics, and hospitals, and one day my daughter decided to put some of my items on an etsy site for me. It was a bit tense at first, but when I started to have some success, I found that I really enjoy doing it.
ME: Is there anything new you plan to add to your shop?
Becky: I add new things to my shop almost daily. I can’t seem to stick to just one style, or design. Most of my things are one-of-a-kind pieces, and there’s usually something for almost everyone’s taste. I love to keep learning.; I started with beading, then I went to setting gem stones, then polymer clay bead making, then metals (silversmith, mostly) and now I do a bit of everything all at once. Someday I might try making lamp worked glass beads, or something like that. I’m never reluctant to try something new.
