introducing: skinny necklaces by maoiliosa

as i suspected, i haven't been able to blog much so far this year, but i have been keeping so busy! my number of sales per month didn't go down after the holidays (!), so i've been packing up orders and making replacement items just as quickly as i can.

i've also been making new items. i'm proud to introduce my first run of skinny necklaces! these sweets can be found in the necklace section of my etsy shop and are $13 (on a chain, too!) the designs measure .5" x 1", so very skinny and cute!

here are a few:


'jasmine'

'cotton candy'

'koi on blue'

'chococherry malt'

'ohm'

there will also be skinny earrings and some new magnet and bobby pin styles listed in the shop over the course of this coming week.

in addition to making new items and packing up orders, i've also made a new maoiliosa catalogue for my spring line. now, when stores want to buy wholesale from me, i can simply mail them a hard copy, email them a pdf copy, or drop by with a bound copy! i spent a lot of time on it and i'm very pleased with how it turned out. if you're interested in having a copy for yourself or your business, feel free to email me at maoiliosamerch@gmail.com.

last but not least, i got a job at a floral shop that will be opening up near my house. i will be managing the store when the owner isn't present, making floral arrangements, etc., and my maoiliosa items will also be for sale there. i'm excited!

so that's a pretty sizeable update for you ;). i'll of course keep you posted on all the other new merch that will be making its way into my shop soon!

fellow austinites...

'maoiliosa' merch is now available at 'aviary'! if you're in the austin area and are jonesing for some japanese flair in your life, head on over to 2110 south lamar and take a peek at my necklaces, pocket mirrors, magnet sets, bobby pins, and earrings in person!

i'm excited to be able to offer my wares and more and more local and national venues. when you love what you do, i guess you want to share the love with everyone, huh? :).

on another note: sorry i've been kind of m.i.a. lately, my dear readers! school has really become my priority this semester, and i am eager to finish. i'm so close to having my degree, i can practically smell it!

not much exciting has been going on here that i've neglected to tell you, other than i finally bought myself a new desk chair (it was LONG overdue, trust me!) and a fancy new camera! it's a canon powershot sx110 is, and i am in love ♥. the only problem is i haven't had a lot of spare time to fiddle with it yet; you might notice a good chunk of the photos in my shop are entirely too dark, and this is because i prematurely uploaded the pictures i took with my new camera without even thinking about proper lighting (i can be a scatter-brain when i'm giddy about something, haha!). so i do apologize for the crappy photos, but as soon as the sun comes out again, all will be mended :).

♥,
melissa
