*****************************************************************
Name: Sherry
Boutique Name: Lindees*Boutique
What do you design: I specialize in custom children's jewelry
What inspired you to want to start SassE? I had a few designer friends who were in different groups and we all wanted to be in one together. So, last January we started our own - not really intending to leave the ones we were in. However, it worked out that we did and from there SassE has evolved into what it is today.
What are the best and worst things about being a group leader? Well, the best part is that nobody can kick me out! Haha! The worst part is trying to steer the group in a direction that will help us all to be more successful without seeming mean or bossy.
What would you call your style? My style is usually pretty classic. Sweet, soft and little girlish. But every so often I like to get really creative and mix things up a bit.
Do you design for what you like, or what you think your customers will like? I do a lot of both. I make lots of stuff for Lindee that is what I like. But I also love the challenge of making something from someone else's imagination too - rather it is something that I would put on Lindee or not.
How has your design style changed since you started? I think my style has pretty much stayed the same. I have learned lots of new things. And I have gotten better at what I do. But overall I am still me.
What was the first item you ever sold, and how much did you sell it for? My first experience with selling on Ebay was back in 1999 when I had some really nice Home Interior stuff that I no longer wanted. It was too good to give away. So, since I had bought a couple things on Ebay I decided to give it a shot. I got out our little $50 digital camera and took the best pictures that I could. Then I followed the "Sell" instructions on Ebay and listed some things. I made $300 the first week and I've been hooked ever since!
