Australia Post has once again raised the charges for posting articles overseas! This really sucks because I don't like charging my customers for postage. But the good news for you is that I'll be absorbing these increases for now (until of course they reach a point of being absolutely ridiculous).
So! The bottom line is that shipping charges at Ackoelade are still a low US$ 1.50 within Australia and only US$ 3.50 for everywhere else!
Go go go! Get shopping :)

Back With A Vengence!
Yep! I'm back with a vengence! :)
Apologies for being MIA, what with Xmas, New Year, (long) holidays back home etc etc, I haven't been adding anything new to the store for a while now. I have still been stocking up on new goodies though (I'm definitely addicted to shopping online!) and finally had a chance to sit down and be inspired to create with all my wonderful new purchases!

So, here's a preview of the new things in store but hurry as they are all one-of-a-kind and some have already been snapped up (yay!)

Big Deal!!!
Yep! It is a BIG deal!
I am proud to announce that Ackoelade got her first "wholesale" order today! Yippee!
A very nice lady who runs a vintage store in KS, United States sent me a little message the other morning to say she was interested in buying a bulk of my jewelry for her store. Upon reading her note, I must admit I was too skeptical to jump around for joy at first. I replied with lots of enthusiasm though and after a few convos back and forth, realised that she she wasn't kidding!
This was not "just another enquiry" from "just another someone"! (yes, I have had other enquiries that just never eventuated into anything)
So there you go! I had my first "wholesale" order and I've got to get to work on these pieces! I wish I could visit this very nice lady's store as she sounds so wonderful and like so much fun. I'm sure she has a very lovely shop!
Fingers crossed there's more to come! Xmas is definitely here :)

Uh Oh....
OK, I've been slack lately. Well actually, not really. I've just not had time to update my blog!
I started a new job about a month ago and since then, I've been working normal full-time hours, then going home for dinner, creating new pieces, shopping for more supplies, taking pictures of my new pieces, then posting them, advertising, etc etc etc, and at the same time trying to have a life outside of Etsy.
Which brings me to this very funny post I recently read in Storque that I can totally relate to! It was so funny I had to email it to my boyfriend immediately so he knew he wasn't alone as Family of the Addicted. It's hilarious and rings so true, and every other commited Etsian out there will know what I mean. Go on! Read it! :)
Btw, Storque is a new section in Etsy where you can read all sorts of articles on what's going on with Etsy, Spotlights on certain sellers, Showcases on some fantastic items and even How To sections! It's a fab read and you might even stumble upon something you can learn to craft (and then sell on Etsy)!
On another note, I made a very odd discovery that has hedlped improve the quality of my pictures by a gazillion times! If you'd seen my pictures before, you might notice they are all much clearer now. Before, the little thumbnails showed up all pixelated and dotty and grainy and all of the horribly yucky attributes that I simply could not understand even though they always appeared fine on my computer before uploading them. I'm now doing constant happy dances! :)
Oh! Oh! And Xmas is on the way!!!!! So come on and shop for some personalised handcrafted pressies for your friends and loved ones on Etsy before you run out of time! I swear, it's the only way to shop this Xmas!!!

Happy Birthday Merrit!
This post is dedicated to Merrit who is celebrating her birthday!
There was a "Happy Birthday Contest" going on in the forums on Etsy last week. Sunday started a thread for her fellow EGA member, so people could send her wishes and a virtual present. The winner would have their item featured on the EGA (Etsy Glass Artists) website and TA-DA! I'm proud to say I won!
This is the necklace Merrit chose and that her wonderful husband ended up getting for her! Thanks Thomas!
It sold like hotcakes that I'm all sold out of it now! There is still one left with a red heart and if you're quick, you can still get it here!
These lovely Jetaime charms are so limited, I am kinda sad in a happy way that they are selling so quick!
Anyway, do visit the EGA (Etsy Glass Artists) website to read Sunday's blogpost which should be up in the next week or so. Sunday sells amazing handcrafted fused glass pendants at her Etsy store, Bead Addict Designs, you have to check them out! Merrit also does some amazing work with glass and will even do custom designs for you so go have a peek in her store, Glass and Grout, too!
Don't forget Xmas is coming so you'd better get in quick as these will make wonderful, personalised presents - start shopping early! ;)
