Now with PayPal!

I think I've figured out the PayPal thing. All my items for sale should now have PayPal buttons on them. Please note: although you can manually change quantities for any item to more than one, there only exists ONE OF EACH ITEM! Hopefully I won't have two people buying the same item, in which case I'll send it to the first person, and learn how to refund the second. Anyone know how to set the quantity of items in PayPal?

eBay: didn't sell

Unfortunately, the first three items, which I listed on eBay, didn't sell. Not too surprising I don't think, but I'm not sure how I would get them to sell. Anyone else sell things on eBay much?

I can relist them if anyone wants to buy them, or leave a comment or email zandperl-AT-gmail-DOT-com and we'll arrange it through PayPal instead.

Orange glass set

This orange glass set is not currently for sale - I made it for myself to wear with a dress for a couple weddings this summer - but I thought I would show it off.

Neclace consists of a glass pendant in the shape of a heart. Half clear/white, and half opalescent orange, it hangs from a sheer golden ribbon cut to choker length that fastens with a bow. The earrings have one larger opalescent orange glass bead in a rounded tetrahedral shape, two smaller orange and yellow beads, and then one disk-shaped pearly pink/white glass bead. Beads are threaded together with a fine silver wire that also wraps around the beads. Hook earrings with a backing, currently hanging in a gold silk bag from the same hanger as the dress.

Maroon glass tile Earring and Pendant set

This one is my favorite yet, and I won't be sad if it doesn't sell. One-inch square maroon glass tiles are hung diagonally and wrapped three times each way across the face for a secure hold. Above are smaller white with pink glass tiles wrapped similarly. The pendant has an additional white and pink tile beneath the main maroon one.

Hook earrings come with an included backing so you won't lose them. Necklace not included - I would recommend a simple silver box chain, or lightweight black silk, though you could try leather or a silk ribbon in various colors. The set comes with a matching maroon silk bag to keep them safe in a drawer, carry while traveling, or to use as a gift bag.

PayPal to eBay

I'm afraid the PayPal "Buy Now" buttons seem to be giving me issues. Anybody else use them and want to help me out?

In the meantime, I'm going to remove the buttons from each item and put a link to the eBay auction. If that ends without a winning bid, I will put up static prices, and if you wish to purchase an item, leave a comment on that item's comments, and when I reply with confirmation you can use the "Donate" button in the right sidebar. All my eBay auctions are available here.

Welcome!

Welcome to Zandperl's Fancies, home of handmade jewelry and other creations. I'll be posting new items as I make them, and all are for sale through PayPal. I hope to have reasonable prices - I make these for fun, not profit, but I don't really want them sitting around the house when I'm done making them.

Comments Rules
I welcome and encourage comments, including feedback and suggestions (though I am not yet taking commissions, if I ever do).

No comment spam. Posts that appear to be for no purpose other than to provide a link to another webpage will be deleted. Comments with links to executable files will be deleted, as they could contain viruses and I do not want my blog to inadvertantly compromise anyone's computer.

No profanity, insults, or flame wars. I would like to keep this site PG-13, apolitical, family friendly, safe for work, accepting of all individuals, and respectful. I do understand that these things sometimes slip out, and even PG-13 movies aren't 100% pure, so I will not delete every such post, just when they become excessive according to my own standards. I don't expect that I'll ever have to actually implement this policy.

That said, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions, or comment just to say "hi" and who you are!
