Jewelry Collectibles began
officially in December of 2002 when my mom became ill and I decided to
stay home and take care of her. The job market was a mess at that time
anyway and having been downsized several times, it ended up also as the
only viable alternative to making an income. My mom passed away in August
of 2005 for my birthday and I decided to stick with the business and
continue to work at home after caring for her 24/7 for almost 3 years and
working very hard to make my business more successful each year that went
by. You can read my website dedication to this wonderful lady whom I am
very proud to say is my mom
here.
My original business was and
still is A
Wild Thyme Bath Shoppe. I became fascinated with natural skin care
products back in 1999, learned all I could about natural, organic and
herbal ingredients, and spent many long hours concocting luxurious skin
care recipes that actually worked and cleared up dermatitis, eczema, and
dry itchy "outdoors" skin. Today I have my own original line of skin care
products ~ lip butter, body butter, handmade soaps, herbal bath tea, and
organic skin care lotion. I also make gift baskets, and sell wholesale.
Utilizing my technical,
database and engineering background, I began
A Wild Thyme
Web Design in the year 2000. This is my website design, hosting,
domain registration, graphic design, search engine optimization, website
promotion, advertising, offsite office services and small
business assistance business. The goal of this business is near and dear
to my heart ~ to provide small businesses the necessary tools and
expertise that they absolutely need to succeed in the world of
e-commerce.
Jewelry
Collectibles initially began as an eBay store and quickly outgrew the
limitations and restrictions of eBay, although I will say eBay gave me my
initial education on e-commerce and customer service, and helped me
discern which products I would be selling in the future. Today Jewelry
Collectibles is the home of one of a kind unique handmade and handcrafted
jewelry, where each "department" is a little domain of it's own. Jewelry
Collectibles also sells Czech glass seed beads, novelty collectible
buttons for scrapbooking, sewing, dollhouses and more. In addition, our
"departments" are:
Beaded
Dangle Earrings
Beaded
Eyeglass Chains
Wedding Jewels
Rosary
Beads and Bracelets
Birthstones ~ Bracelets ~ Necklaces
In addition, I also run an
artists / crafters / artisan exhibit gallery at
Rising Star
Gallery, and
The
Marketplace, which is an e-commerce venue that is niche targeted,
well advertised and well trafficked. 3 of my own stores are there ~
A Wild Thyme
Bath Shoppe,
Counted Cross Stitch Kits, and
Babies and
Dolls. Two new stores of mine will be opening there in 2006 as part
of my business plan ~ Grace Images (my photography business of greeting
cards and more), and a new store that is still in development at this
point.
I am very happy to be a part
of E-Commerce Arena and happy to help and share my knowledge to assist
other small business owners become successful as well. As Forum Hostess
for the Arts/Crafts/Gifts/Collectibles Forum I bring over 15 years of
experience in those fields as well.
