Was I Missed?

..... I wasn't? Oh No! I was away being ill but I am now back and ready to rumble! I'm in the middle of making six or so different pieces of jewellery so I'll photograph them and pop them on here during the course of the week.

I have listed loads of new cabochons on my rosebudlia site - www.rosebudlia.co.uk - and I am now full on for the pre-Christmas orders. So, if you want cabs, make sure you get your orders in early.

Tis is me gone now ... until the pictures anyway lol
Toodles for now,
Sue

Overcharging Shipping from the US

Can I have a moan please? I have been selling and buying online for some years now and I think I can say, I know what I am doing and I know what's fair and what's not. I was going to order 48 plastic cabochons from a seller in the US. Shipping to the UK was $12.95 AND there was even a handling fee of $2.95! They have lost my custom. I sell happily to the US with a shipping of $8.70 regardless of how much is bought. Come on you US sellers, I know we are another countly but we aren't on the moon! I buy a lot from Etsy and most US sellers have just perfect international shipping rates. One however charged $13.00 for something that would fit in an envelope. Why do this? Why price shipping SO highly that you lose custom? You are internet sellers and you want to sell to the world, yes? So, look at your shipping rates and then perhaps you will then discover why sales are low.

New Fabby Smashin' Cabochons!

I love green glass cabochons - do you? I ordered some in from the Czech Republic where they were cut from a cane for me ... here they are and they are for sale on my site. I LOVE THEM!
I am making a beaded brooch with one of them and I will add it to the cabs page when it's finished.
