As many of you know I LOVE St. Patties Day! It is my favorite Holiday, so in Lou of me LOVIN’ St. Patties Day I am excited to say I will be holding a giveaway!! YAY!
I am proud to be offering one of my readers a chance to Win their very own button bracelet from Jennifer over at Clever Crafter!
I had the wonderful opportunity to ask Jennifer a few questions and get to know her a little bit! I’d love for you to do the same!
Where are you from? and a little bit about you
I live near Lansing, Michigan. Was born in Lansing, grew up in Grand Ledge, went to school in Kalamazoo, got my first grown up job in Grand Rapids, and I’ve been back home in Grand Ledge for a little over a year now! I live with my parents again for the time being, but I have a wonderful boyfriend and my cat, Lily. She’s just like a little kid sometimes!
How did you decide on your shop name?
When I started showing crafts to my mom and to friends, everyone had the same thing to say: “how clever!” Seemed natural to use this as my name!
Why did you start your business?
Extra money of course, but also because I cannot sit still! I’m always crafting, so why not share it with everyone else??
Do you have anything new you plan on adding to your store?
Nothing planned out, but I know that there will always be additions when I stumble onto something new! I have some bracelets made out of puzzle pieces that I used to have listed, I just need to get better pictures and relist soon.
What is your favorite thing about being a seller?
Getting feedback and knowing how much people like my product!
Do you have a blog, twitter, or facebook page?
My blog is http://cleverscorner.blogspot.com/. I run 3 weekly features at the moment, an introduction to a single etsy seller on Mondays, Tuesday’s Top 10 featuring 10 different items from 10 different sellers grouped by a theme, and Lily Loves… on Friday’s which showcases 7 different items from 7 different sellers and show off cats. The Friday Feature is paw picked by Lily!
What inspires you to create this beautiful and unique jewelry?
What items in your shop do you most enjoy making and why?
My favorite right now is the button bracelets. I have so much fun choosing the colors and seeing the end result! I also have a lot of fun naming them to list on Etsy. Some are tougher to name though!
But wait…bracelets are not ALL Jennifer makes! NO…she has a variety of items that include Bangle Bracelets, Beaded Jewelry, Button Earrings, Button Magnets, Pendants , Puzzle Jewelry, Scarves, as well as one of my top favorites, the Guitar Pick Earrings and Necklaces that she has personally hand stamped! They are simply beautiful and unlike any other piece of jewelry that I have ever seen!
