Me the Entrepreneur

Ok so I love making Earrings and stuff and so I decided to try to sell them just to see how they would do. I made a "Treasuer Tree" out of wire and put my earrings on wire and took them to Helen's shop "Annie's Fresh Frozen Custard" because she already sells antique jewelry for her friend Bev and she won't charge me anything. I kept it cheap and before I left the shop I had sold 3 pairs. I made $9.00 in less than an hour. needless to say I am a happy camper.

Don't cha just love my cute little tree? It's hard to tell from the pictures but I think it's pretty cute.

Very cute and clever tree. And the earings are gorgeous. I think you need to up your price however. I bet they would still sell. Way to go James!
