Something for Everyone

We Are Ashley Davis Designs

It's crazy how quickly time flies. Christmas is a little over 2 months away. For those early shoppers, shopping can sometimes be a breeze. Buying things early before the demand for the product rises, tucking presents away for Christmas, and getting great deals on clearance and sale items are often times some of the best ways to evade the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. However, for people like me, Christmas shopping is not a breeze, it's a nightmare. Trying to find something for everyone, making sure you didn't already give them a similar or the same gift in prior years, attempting to remember everyone that I'm suppose to buy a gift for, and so many more things are the things that make every holiday season stressful for me.

One of the things that has lightened that burden is my business. I rarely if ever make the same item twice so I don't have to worry about giving someone the same gift. If I can't give someone jewelry, I can always paint or draw something for them, and for the guys who don't wear jewelry, I can make them a keychain. Now don't get me wrong, I still don't have everything figured out, but every little bit helps.




My goal for Ashley Davis Designs this year is simple, I want to lighten that burden for every stress out holiday shopper. Ladies, if you are in search for a gift for your kids that they can keep through the years, look no further. Art is something that last especially if it's taken care of. If you are searching for a gift for teachers, bosses, co-workers, pastors, best friend, etc. jewelry or accessories might be the perfect gift, If you're shopping for a jewelry lover, you have come to the right place. Gentlemen, if you are shopping for a daughter, girlfriend, or wife, remember many girls love jewelry. If you don't see something you like, custom orders are available.

  


As much as I love sales, Black Friday, and great deals, I love my sanity more. I like for the holidays to be an enjoyable experience not a season for tears, chaos, and panic. If I can lighten your stress even the slightest, I have accomplished my goal. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas filled with Christ, love, happiness, family, and relaxation! Be sure to stop by Ashley Davis Designs.

Gems and Stones

We Are Ashley Davis Designs

Gems and Stones

                           

Everyday I'm learning more and more about beading. Every stone has a different quality and a different quantity of materials. Gemstones can be raw/natural, heated, dyed, precious, semi precious, lab created and/or synthetic.


Not every gemstone is real and not every gemstone is fake. Not every gemstone is what it claims to be. I like to work with semi precious and raw/natural gemstones, whether they are dyed or heated is not so much of consequence as long as they are what they claim to be, semi precious and/or precious.



Another great way of getting quality
gemstones is to order directly from a supplier.
I have looked at  many, but one supplier has ready stood out to me. I met a supplier via Facebook in a jewelry group, and we began to network.


Through our conversations, I have learned a lot about gemstones. The cloudy white and black bracelet and the green bracelets are great examples of what can be done with her gemstones. Although I would love to have all of her gemstones for myself,
her jewelry supplier business deserves to be known.
Rachel of Rough and Tumbled has been
great to work with and definitely deserves recognition.

Slowly but Surely

We Are Ashley Davis Designs


Having an Etsy shop is a lot of hard work.
When I first signed up, it seemed easy enough.
I thought I would just add some listings
and hope that people would find them.
I learned how to upload pictures,
to create listings, and to attempt writing descriptions.
I had no clue what treasuries were,
how much advertising/marketing would be required,
or how important SEO is. Each day I learn some new aspect of Etsy.


I'm not sure if I will ever grasp all of the details,
but I'm willing to try. Research and networking are key.
Without creating relationships,
it is very difficult to gain support and/or a following.
Through research, I have attained much of the information I know now.

One of the biggest lessons I have learned is that any and all support deserves appreciation.
Without support, businesses fail.
Support from friends and family is just as important as support from your clientele.
Most businesses don't take off in a day, and much advertising comes from word of mouth and friend/family support.
Even if your business hasn't taken off, a start is still a start.
My business is coming along slowly but surely,
and each day I remind myself that a start is a start.
