New Endevours

And so continues the journey of Elisabeth Ashlie Jewelry.
Unfortunately, my sister does not go to college in the same town as where I live so that means our jewelry business must spread it's wings.  The span of those wings? About 900 miles. From Chicago to Raleigh.

Thankfully, the Internet is our only shop right now, so it'll be pretty easy to continue creating and posting new items almost daily. The sad part is-we won't be able to sit at the same kitchen table working on our creations together.

In some ways, she's better off. My kitchen table is glass. That makes it pretty impossible to see what you are working on unless you remember to put a piece of paper down first.

iChat, photos via iPhone, and email are going to be the best ways for us to show each other what we are working on. After we complete, and even sometimes before we are finished with, each piece-we get the "okay" from the other. Usually, I am receptive to her critique. Sometimes I think something is great the way it is... And I begin the photoshoot. Then, after seeing it from another angle, I see what she saw. I would quietly return to the glass table and make the necessary corrections.

Even though the business is about the endure a big, and unfortunate, change-do not fear! Elisabeth Ashlie Jewelry lives on. Your shipments will still be prompt. Your jewelry will still be made with the same amount of excitement and love. The same excitement and love we, Kate and Lauren, will feel when the day comes again that we can create together!
