Etsy Blog: Random Acts of Kindness

What a glorious way to start off the month of November; being included among those featured in an article in Etsy's Blog, The Storque.  This article in-particular was titled "Random Acts of Kindness" and centers on Kind Over Matter. 

Kind Over Matter focuses on feeling good and promoting positivity - sounds like how I live my life!  No wonder our "Carpe Diem" ring made into the inspirational post pics.  Kind Over Matter strives to help independent artists and craft persons follow their respective dreams with mico-grants, funded by donations and proceeds from their Etsy Shop.  The best part of this whole thing? WE - you and I - the public at large - decide who shall be awarded the grants.  How cool is that?!

Read more about Kind Over Matter on their Blog.  Here is a link to the Etsy Blog article.  And of course I could not forget our Carpe Diem Ring here.  That's it below -- second row, middle picture

Enjoy!!

Meet my friend Ivy.

Classic J.Crew - that what's I call her.  Ever so elegant & timeless - thinking of Ivy brings to mind classic movies from 50's.  Kim Novak, Eva Gardner, Audrey Hepurn; each stunning on and off screen - and that's Ivy.

Exact opposites, but oh so similar, Ivy and I are the best of friends and I wanted you to meet her too!  Although if you frequent Etsy, I'm sure Ivy needs no introduction.  The designer behind MomentusNY - Ivy's designs have graced the Front Pages of Etsy a few times since opening up shop in June 2010.

I Waited Three Years For This

I'm at the playground with Gabriel today, pick up the android and get on Facebook.  Right there, staring me in the face is a friends post on my wall saying, "Yay!  Look who was in my inbox this morning", and it was a picture of our Carpe Diem ring.  "Woa!  Are you serious?", I replied.  And sure enough, after checking my own email, there it was staring me right in the face - the MerCurios Carpe Diem Ring in the Etsy Finds Tangled Web Blog Post!  I almost fainted!

Now - MerCurios has been getting a lot of attention lately - the ThreeVillage Patch business feature, the LeopardMilkshake shout out, Fashion Clique with "Rings that Rock", Cleo Magazine requesting samples for September... All of which is AMAZING, of course!  My gratitude to the Universe, and EVERYONE  is unending. 

However, this is most definitely the creme del la creme of them all.  For those that don't know - Etsy's web runs very deep.  The Etsy Finds Blog is up for ALL members to see - permanently - and an email gets sent out to those who choose to subscribe to it - like 200,000,000 people; seriously.  So of course I am stoked!

Like I said, I waited three years for this and I plan to relish each and every second of it.  So please try and bear with me. If my head swells a little too much feel free to pop my balloon... (I always have a back up on hand, lol)

This fabulousness took place on Wednesday, July 21.  Below are the stats as of Thursday morning.   I'm pleased to say the numbers are continuing to climb.  I'm convinced the fallout of this event is limitless.

• Carpe Diem Ring  = 1461 item views / 218 hearts (bookmarks)
• MerCurios = 1515 NEW visitors / 6073 page views / 68 hearts (bookmarks)
• Remaining Items = 4612 views / 67 hearts (bookmarks)
• Sold five items -- three Custom 2 finger rings & 2 other items -- not to mention the numerous inquiry's that I'm confident will lead to sales

Now for the best part - In celebration of this event MerCurios will be giving away a Custom 2 Finger Ring just like the one featured.   Yes! You read correctly.  This contest will be a Twitter Exclusive and is open to all of our followers.  Be sure to follow @mercuriosjewels & stay tuned on Twitter HERE for the details.

Etsy Finds: Tangled Web

Our "Carpe Diem" Tattoo Banner Ring as seen in the Etsy Finds email

It's a wrap

Today's projects consisted of four custom rings - I got three done; not too bad! - phone calls, phone calls, phone calls, and more press kits.  Now I don't know about you, but I loathe phone calls!  Seriously!  Ask anyone that knows me 1. If I ever answer my phone? and 2. If I ever return phone calls? I think you can guess the answer...if you guessed NO, then you'd be right.  My husband actually put someone else - someone that answers their phone - as his "emergency contact" at work.  I hope you can find the humor in this, because I sure can.

Anyway, I digress.  All three custom rings were from the "Define Yourself" Collection, and all were Two Finger Tattoo-style Banner Rings.  I am loving how popular these rings have become!  Did I mention they are available in Brass and Stainless Steel too?!

The copper rings are now lined with felt too & POP Colors are available for those who want to stand out.  I did this for two reasons... 1. to prevent the skin oxidation that happens to some when wearing natural copper 2. I prefer not to clear coat my copper pieces due to the intrinsic healing properties ...& because I like the rustic look of raw copper.

This is what I call a "3 Finger Bench Ring" in that it slides on to three fingers and sits there like a bench of course.  Believe it or not, it's really comfortable & keyboard-friendly! This, however, is the prototype & it's spoken for.  As a matter of fact it's being shipped out to Miss Kat Von D 1st thing in the morning -- I created it with her in mind after all.
