Pam Robinson of cooljewelrydesign + Giveaway!

From: Jewerly by Solange

Introdcing Pam Robinson of cooljewelrydesign

How did you come up with the name of your shop?
Several years ago I sold sterling silver jewelry...I would hunt down quirky and elegant pieces. Often I was asked from people who knew I was in the jewelry biz: "what kind of jewelry do you sell" My response was always, without blinking... "cool." My business name at that time was actually cooljewelry. When I began making it myself, "that" name was taken here at Etsy, and so I had to add "design" at the end. (There are several variations of this name "out" there...but I am all lower case and run together.)
Tell us a little about your craft –What do you do/make?
I refer to my personal style as eclectic edgy “random chaos” and I craft OOAK (one of a kind) jewelry very similar to how I cook—the recipe is often tweaked to the point of no recipe being followed—therefore, a very intuitive process. I love to work with color and texture and enjoy pairing the most unusual suspects together, often in an asymmetrical style.
When and how did you start creating?
About 3 years ago I enthusiastically attended what I hoped would be a really great beginner class. It morphed into nothing but a coffee klatch and so I decided to teach myself.
Did someone teach you?
Just me
What is the most difficult part of your craft?
Applying the brakes when it comes to making final color choices. (you would have to live inside my head to understand perhaps)
Tell us about your workspace-Where do you create?
Finally about 3 months ago I had a sitting room converted into a studio—still unorganized. But I have a killer 1890’s Belgian chest where “most” of my stuff can reside.
Where do you find your inspiration?
I love to color and texture match on sunny days, allowing the natural light to guide me. The actual stones, beads, and findings inspire me—they even YELL sometimes…”hey, look at ME!”
Do you have a favorite item in your shop that you just can’t bear to part with?
I “did” have a favorite bracelet and so it’s among my “inactive” items…I may drag it back into the shop in the fall.
What has been your best marketing technique?
In person: do not try to over-sell; people really know what they want. Otherwise, I don’t have one particular marketing technique—I do the social networking and just hope I am not bugging the life out of people. Planning to offer a really “sweet” deal to past clients in the form of a “private” sale, not Etsy-wide.
What’s your supply addiction?
Hands down…lampwork and really cool clasps.
What other hobbies/crafts do you enjoy?
Traveling, cooking
Is there a craft that you'd love to learn?
I would sooo love to learn some aspects of metal smithing…was just thinking about that on the way to work. (Maybe in my next life)
What are some of your favorite things to do outside of etsy?
Hang out with friends, movies, Criminal Minds
Tell everyone a random fact about you:
I love animals and also psycho killer shows like Criminal Minds…I want to come back in the next life as a profiler (who makes jewelry, of course)!
Where can we find your work?

Mrs. Fields Father’s Day Giveaway

From : Sassyscoops

Boy, oh boy, was I invited to a fun event in Utah a few days ago. I had no idea that the Mrs. Fields’ headquarters, containing everything from the marketing to the shipping, was just down the street from me!

Image Via Beautiful Kami from NoBiggie.net

Who doesn’t love a warm Mrs. Fields brownie or cookie while shopping in the mall? That’s where I usually buy my Mrs. Fields treats and I also love sending our grandmothers Mrs. Fields gift boxes through their online shop. Now I can tell them their packages are made just a few minutes away from where we live.

All of us bloggers were invited to learn more about the packaged gift side of Mrs. Fields, tour their facility, learn more about the different products and decorate our own cookie pie! Their gifts you purchase online can be shipped all over the country and are perfect for any occasion: sympathy, graduation, birthdays, get-well gifts or any special day!

Check out these adorable monogrammed cookies they made for my personal blog, INeverGrewUp.net—wouldn’t these be perfect for baby showers, weddings, company parties? And they taste quite yummy to boot!

Another really fun thing I learned is Mrs. Fields has a blog, a GOOD blog. We all know “other” companies’ blogs can be kind of lame, but not this one! The lady behind the blog does a fabulous job with recipes, baking tips, gifting tips and fun advice; this is a blog to add to your reader right now.

I was blown away by the efficiency, warmth, cleanliness, staff and precision of how every single aspect of Mrs. Fields is run. This is a company I am happy to support. Because lots of our readers DO live in Utah I wanted to mention they offer tours and have a great gift shop, ice cream shop AND outlet stores (at pretty awesome outlet prices, believe me) right here in Utah. Here is their contact info:

Mrs Fields Factory

1717 South 4800 West, Salt Lake City

But now to the fabulous part: Mrs. Fields has been gracious enough to let us host a Father’s Day Giveaway! They are going to let the winner pick their choice of these three Father’s Day Gift options:

One Year Older - Birthday Giveaway!

From:

Isn't it funny how in each society different ages hold different meaning and landmarks for us. As a teenager turning thirteen is a big deal because in your mind you are no longer a "child". At sixteen you are definitely cooler than you were at the coveted thirteen. At eighteen you have the legal right to do whatever you wish with no need for parental consent or approval. The oh so popular twenty one where alcohol flows forth endlessly and "freedom" is a consolidated word phrase for "it just loosens me up and makes everything easy?" Then it starts to get serious around twenty five. You are either happy with the path you have chosen and are embarking on ever more present responsibilities and goals with the tools and wisdom you have gained, or you are slightly freaking out because you still have no direction and you wonder if you are the only one stuck in time with no defined rhyme or reason as to why you are doing whatever it is you are doing. Yeah, the later would be me, and here is where I insert the customary "LOL." But, at twenty five I was NOT "laughing out loud", more like SOL, and I no I don't mean "*!&# out of luck"! More like "sobbing out loud." I look at that moment now and I laugh. My parents and wiser friends consoled me and made me realize that while society provides us with predetermined lines of what success and accomplishment are, only I can measure what my success is.

Now I can't comment on thirty (steadily approaching) or forty, fifty or sixty. But I look forward to reaching those "landmarks" with ease and the unwavering confidence that no matter what happens, as long as I have faith, patience, love and understanding, they will be greater than the landmark that came before!

So, after your patience during that rambling, I would like to reward you with a giveaway. From today until June 9th at midnight I am holding a Birthday Giveaway! For this giveaway the winner will receive a pair of my Hammered Hearts SS earrings and, AND, a $10.00 gift certificate to be used in my shop Shaped By Hand!

Namaste Monroe Bag Review + Giveaway

TheShoppingMama is having a great giveaway! Read this article to be able to know how to enter.

From The Shopping Mama:

Monroe Bag

Organize in style with the Monroe bag, featuring a unique 3-compartment storage design fully equipped with extra pockets and strong magnetized closures. This bag features a rear document pocket that’s excellent for toting your magazine or other important documents unharmed. Optional strap buddy to keep straps together so slippage off the shoulder isn’t an issue. You’re gonna love this bag!

From the moment I opened the box to check out the Monroe bag I was impressed. The bag arrived in a storage / protection bag, which marks its quality and makes it feel worth well above the price tag.

The Monroe bag comes in six colors ranging from black to hot pink. I opted for the Peacock – a beautiful greenish blue color. I wanted something bright and colorful to add a little fun to the classic lines of the bag.

Mama-Friendly Handbag

With its three separate compartments, the Monroe is perfect for mamas who want to organize all that stuff you can’t seem to leave the house without. I use one compartment for kid stuff like diapers and sippy cups, another for my stuff and the center area for stuff I want easy quick access to. The bag measures 5 inches wide, 11 inches tall, and 16 inches wide but is deceptively big on the inside. Seriously, even a pack rat will be able to tote all you need in this bag. I think it’s a good option for working mamas, too, since there’s so much organization and space inside the bag. It would even hold a mini laptop without problem.

I really like that I can carry a purse that holds everything I need for my kids without skimping on style. The clean lines of the Monroe bag are classic and the color is bright and bold. It’s really a fun bag to carry.

Bags & Accessories

Namaste bags are a great balance of style and necessary function. In addition to handbags, Namaste offers great accessories for inside your bag like a wallet, buddy case and mini clutch.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… The Monroe bag seems and feels like it costs well above the $85 price tag. The construction is top notch, the bag is stylish and with oodles of storage and room, it’s big enough for mamas lugging kid and baby gear. At the same time, because of the streamlined and modern look you don’t feel like you’re dragging around a giant bag.

Or Not to Buy… My only improvement to Namaste bags would be to add more handbags to the collection. Right now there are only 4 to pick from.

Shop! The Monroe Bag is available in six fun colors and costs $85. All Namaste bags and accessories can be purchased at NamasteInc.com or search for a local retailer.

Win! Your Choice of Handbag from Namaste!
