Logo, website an' all

As I write the logo and new website is being respectively designed and revamped.
New site for the jewellery, as the old one was doing exactly, nada. Maybe it was too hard for customers to navigate through all the interminable portfolios. Who knows, but we do know it wasn't working and something had to be done.
And we need a logo. I am using a service from Mr Site, and they provide a kick start service: it does what it says on the packet, gets you started.
A little teensy trouble with getting my ideas across to the designer, but maybe he will get it. Early next week we really should get the site up and be starting to fill it in.
An eventful week with my trusty 7 year old mac suddenly hitting the dust and quick quick, as you do, get it replaced. What with a new camera, lens, website and now this..... you can imagine.
But I have a new customer Heather, of Heather's Collectables. She has bought several pendants for her shop, so who knows. http://www.heatherscollectables.com

I like it that customers are willing to put their money where their mouth is. It is not use putting stuff in a shop on sale or return.... such lack of commitment will produce , nothing.
And the other thing is I shall soon be able to flaunt the Fair Trade logo!  I will be working with the WWF.  The paperwork is done.
This says I (will be) producing jewellery that uses Fairmined gold. A good thing. We shall see where this leads. There is clearly  a growing demand for goods, as we know in the food industry, that give a fair return to the producers. So with gold. But is very early days, and the public needs to be made aware, to be offered goods produced ethically, that will create a demand that will gradually reduce the very high price of gold leaf that it presently is.
