I just realized I haven't posted on here in almost a month. Thats because my camera phone is on the fritz and pictures have been shoddy. But there is good news.
I got a professional to come out and shoot for me the whole set. 2 and a half hours of pictures. With lights, and professional digital camera, the works. Now i am going through the process of editing and stamping them all with the kanzashi temple logo.
I haven't heard much from my webdeveloper friend, he's been pretty busy, and I have been as well.
I am not adding new pieces to the Etsy stop, but new made to order listings. By building up a variety of examples, I hope to build a different kind of business there in which I sell only custom orders and made to order, instead of paying for stock pieces that don't move. Those I am sending to storenvy. With all new photos, and a new website, a new face book store integration, that matches the blog. Its a complicated network, but worth it to finially have a logo or theme i can stick with.
I will also be changing the etsy site name from lilyashes to kanzashi temple. But i wont activate that until I get closer to opening the Storenvy site.

We are EXPANDING
OK SO!
I am working with a web developer friend of mine to get the Storenvy shop open and looking beautiful. I am still keeping Etsy but lilyashes.com will no longer be pointed at it. It, along with all pre-made merchandise, will be moved to the custom built site. Etsy will remain open for made to order and custom items. I might keep a piece or two in there, but most everything will be moved to Storenvy. I won't be opening until middle of september, so I can do a major relaunch with new photos on the new phone.
And my friend is so wonderful, he's even going to look at the blog for me. Because I am a css and html and ruby and liquid dummy.
I am currently working on different kind of kanzashi like barrettes in different sizes with the snowflake design. I am also working with a new technique of satin kanzashi to bring that back into the store. If I can master this hot glue technique without burning the hell out of my fingers (which has happened. A lot.) then I can really expand the inventory selection. Headbands, barrettes, broaches, etc. would all be nice.
So with all that said, I am hard at work but it will be a while before any new listings come up. Keep checking here and on my Facebook feed for examples of the upcoming products. I had a few up already.
