Sometimes the road to success leads to wonderful places! Sometimes the road is bumpy and sometimes filled with potholes. We have taken the road less travelled...and there are times we know why it's less travelled. We hope you enjoy our stories!

You've got great ideas; unique products and a lot of energy. So off you go to the local craft shows! Everyone loves your handmade jewelry so you come up with more great ideas, fun and fashionable works of art! You move on to juried craft shows in your area and then bigger shows, bigger sales. Life is great! You are doing something you love and everyone loves your work!

Sales are coming in and you can hardly keep up with your orders. You have to find ways to save time. You never have enough time before the next show. Eureka, you've found the answer and now it's easier to keep up with orders, sales and traveling to all the best shows.

But you're starting to get tired of running here and there, setting up, tearing down - and the sun - and the rain - and the wind.

Next step on the road to success - Wholesale Handmade Jewelry! Not as many shows and bigger sales. You focus on your craft and can actually enjoy a long weekend!

The artisans of copperreflections.com have been making handmade jewelry and unique gift ideas since 1985. Our designs are silver plated and diamond cut on copper handcrafted jewelry and unique gift ideas.

We have seen first hand the up and downs of the handmade jewelry marketplace, from heat waves to tornadoes, and everything in between. Watch for our next article, coming soon!

Bumpy vs. Paved Roads
by: Rena

Jennifer,

I can so relate to the bumpy road less traveled! But no matter what bumps are on it, we'd take it over the paved road any day. :o)

Thanks for sharing a bit of your path with us - and a peek at your lovely copper jewelry designs!
