Shops on Etsy I admire

There are a lot of shops on Etsy which I admire a lot since they sell things set in resin or between glass. I wish I had the technical skills they obviously have that I'm still struggling to attain.
Of the resin Artists;
Garden Jems Jewelery
I love how beautifully positioned is each piece! I'd love to know how she does these. There are lots of other beautiful examples in her shop.

Dream Half Full

Some really sweet pieces with real pressed flowers like this delicate white flowers in this shop. Again I wish I knew how they did it!

Sometimes It Just Doesn't Seem Fair....

Just as I seem to finally be able to sell some of my pretty things to a few local gift stores, Hubbie gets his transfer papers! Which is not a bad thing, it just complicates things a bit.
Carnamah will be an entirely new experience for all of us since Jordan probably wont be moving with us, he'll be moving to Perth instead to further his education. And we've never been posted so far from home before.
And it's going to be hot. Flat. Inland. Wheat country.
Ggggreattt...
But on the upside I've been able to sell 13 of my resin and glass pendants to a specialty gift shop in Walpole called Arcadia Blue with the help of a lovely lady who was not only helpful but sooo encouraging! I also sold 8 to a beautiful gift store in Denmark called Karissma Gallery and Gifts. And I've recieved an email from another shop in Denmark, All About Me, where I left a sample piece and they'd like me to come back on Friday and maybe buy 6 off me. I'm actually starting to get anxious that I'm going to run out of stock!
So I've ordered more frames, glass and chain and I'm going to have to make myself get organised and pour more resin pendants before I run out! 
Oh, it's so nice to be doing something I love and being able to make a little money as well :)
