Charm Three: a key (to your room at the Ritz or the Hotel Bristol, whichever you prefer).

Pill Reminder Charm Bracelet

New in my shop! 

I am having separation anxiety from my charms!!!

However, I did get some new charms today. That are so lovely. Ou I cannot wait until I can post pictures of new bracelets!

Ready to ship!

I have so much to do tonight before I head back to the city, this includes making more charm bracelets as well as packaging them up before I send them out. 

I ordered new charms and packaging supplies off of Etsy earlier today. If you know me then you know I am completely crazy when it comes to organization etc. and I am also OCD about the way I send an item to a customer, which means I am going to attempt to set up a wrapping station like everyone has been talking about. I want things on wheels like this picture from marthastewart.com:

To make things stress free, I appropriated a Martha Stewart checklist and made it relevent for sellers on Etsy: 

• Write out a customer/order list and organize addresses. Doing so on a computer or a PDA will help with neatness and efficiency as you can then make printable shipping address and return labels.
• Buy stamps, cards, and wrapping supplies in bulk to eliminate any last minute trips to the store.
• Now, set up a wrapping station in a convenient area of your home.
• Sign, address, and send packages (remember to ship packages early to guarantee on-time delivery. You can even save a trip to the post office by scheduling an at-home pickup at www.usps.com).
• Take an inventory of staples and replace those that are running low.
• If you are running low, shop online (you can do this at any time of day and because of the large variety it will save you the time of finding the perfect size boxes etc.)

Also referring back to the wrapping station, I found some pictures on marthastewart.com that might inspire:

Back to work!
