I'm back now with a lot of fresh ideas for making jewelry, living green and designing new product lines. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've been in the unemployed camp for longer than I'd like to admit.  It doesn't look like the job scene is going to get any better, especially in our area.  This is scary, but it's a good thing too because I have a good reason and motivation to get back into business full-time. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to be selling a lot of my existing &lt;a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/touchofavalon" target="_blank"&gt;jewelry on Etsy&lt;/a&gt; while working on some new designs which will show up there too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, coming soon my hand knit 100% cotton dishcloths will be available for $6 each with free shipping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This weekend we're hitting a big bead show in our area so expect to see some hot new stuff coming along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay tuned for more soon!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.etsy.com/etsy_mini.js'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script type='text/javascript'&gt;new EtsyNameSpace.Mini(5441282, 'shop','thumbnail',1,5).renderIframe();&lt;/script&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8917031490061866079-2035185077904811833?l=touchofavalon.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://touchofavalon.blogspot.com/feeds/2035185077904811833/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://touchofavalon.blogspot.com/2011/03/back-and-better-than-ever.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8917031490061866079/posts/default/2035185077904811833'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8917031490061866079/posts/default/2035185077904811833'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://touchofavalon.blogspot.com/2011/03/back-and-better-than-ever.html' title='Back and Better Than Ever!'/><author><name>Megan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01147554567813047960</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HnOM1zigvwM/TW3Lz55mnqI/AAAAAAAAAAY/oqAbJNPTUCI/s220/204-2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
