My Valentines plan worked! I’ve got 5 or 6 orders for rock’n hearts Got most of them made but with some custom orders I'll be busy this weekend Heck I could take off next week And be a grinding cupid in the rocking heart factory I wanted to promote the heart for the last few Valentines seasons But never felt confident enough in my product The sales are not enough to get me out of rock bottom Ha Ha But at least I’ll break even on the rock….mostly  |

This heart sold to the lady at the Lunch Counter  Husband went for it when I explained the rocks were from Pennsylvania. He’s from PA. Its Jo’s famous self-collected moonstone & albite!! I made it a couple seasons ago and just recently re-ground it. Hard to photograph But even in 3-D its colors are real neutral. But deceptive! Because it got that chatoyancy thing going on Thanks for looking Now I better get back to grinding Mohs |

Cool hearts! You ever put any of 'em on Craig's List? Lots of flaky people on there, but I have a couple of friends who do pretty well, and it's free

Thanks radio!
never put any up on the internet
maybesomeday
right now its more of door to door operation
but lots of people ask about them
so I should get together a web site
then hand out a business card
& let them browse at their leisure

Why not? Get enterprising, you certainly got the heart for it and a super product to boot.

Thanks Kurt !
Yep at certain time of year the heart rocks!
I held off from going prime time
because I felt I didn't have the heart process mastered
and I really don't have any stock
rocks are hard

Thanks radio! never put any up on the internet maybesomeday right now its more of door to door operation but lots of people ask about them so I should get together a web site then hand out a business card & let them browse at their leisure Ed If you don't want to get into a web site just yet, consider putting them on Facebook, there are groups that buy & sell rock and things made from it. you could try there at first and them as things progress, up grade to a free website, then if it continues to make you $$$, upgrade the web site to a paid for site and you can always point it back to Facebook so people can see what you have done in the past and comments from buyers... stuff like that. Basically, lots of possibilities are out there for you, you just have to start it!! |

But the post man's wife complain today
He told me that his wife
said the colors weren't right...mostly
on a Birthstone Heart I made for their children
Although there is some validity in the complaint
I still just wanted to cry
