20best20 Supports The 7th Crow!
Have you checked out 20best20 yet? Well, I have and let me tell you something! They are an amazing group who are here to promote individual artists in a very classy and unique way! Let me tell you a little about them.

Our Story...
20 Best Twenty, stemmed from a problem, that we quickly turned into our solution. When out of the ordinary, non carbon copy t-shirts became hard to find, we thought, why not make them easy to find? Why not search, locally and internationally, for the best independent makers, sellers, designers, and boutiques across the world? Oh, and while we are at it, why not share their work with everyone else that appreciates the fine tuning of above average ideas? Well, that is exactly what we decided to do.
Mission
20 Best Twenty reveals the best designs, premier pieces, and unique products from independent makers across the globe. Every two months, 20 new items in 20 unique categories will be highlighted by ourselves and The Crew. They are bloggers, designers, and independent thinkers. They work with 20 Best Twenty to be the eyes and ears of the freshest finds, most brilliant boutiques, and amazing designs around. We are not an online store. We do not profit from a sale.
Our goal is simple - to feature the undiscovered items that are often lost in an age of chain retailers and commercial advertising. We celebrate inspired design, and unite original ideas with discerning consumers.
Vision
We believe each of the products featured makes the world a more beautiful and interesting place to live. Whether a fun pair of socks or a well designed chair, each item distinguishes itself by the thoughtfulness and care that only production on a small scale can accomplish. We encourage you to visit the independent sites of each of the products featured. There you will find many more items that stand out from the crowd. For yourself, or a gift, you will be shopping the best new products the web has to offer.
As soon as I was approached by 20best20, I was sold. I looked all over their website and knew we were a good fit! So guess what!
THE 7TH CROW IS BEING FEATURED ON 20 Best 20 JEWELS!
Stop by, check out The 7th Crow, but also please check out the whole website! I'm telling you! It's amazing! It's a great forum for promotion of people like me. I am someone who wants to be the best I can be - on my terms! I work hard. I work long. I work personal. And the folks at 20best20 see that and respect it!
So, thank you to everyone at 20best20! I am overjoyed to start 2012 with you!
Happy New Year!
Wow! 2011 was really amazing for The 7th Crow! It was our first full year on Etsy and an amazing one at that! I would like to thank so many for the ongoing support and encouragement! So hold on to your hats! Here it comes!
My family has been amazing! My husband, two boys and my parents have given me the time and encouragement to keep going and dedicate myself to this amazing love of my craft. From letting me work instead of doing laundry or helping me set up all this crazy internet stuff or loading the boys up and heading to the main Dallas/Ft. Worth post office at the last second while I'm so sick I can't get out of bed, you have been there for me! Without their support, I wouldn't be where I am now.
My friends! Thank you for allowing me to throw ideas around and test out new designs on you. Thank you for spreading the word of The 7th Crow. Thank you for being rocks when I felt I was destined for failure. Oh and thanks for letting me give you all that free stuff!
My customers! Repeat customers and custom orders have helped me to better understand what my clients really want. And all of the feedback has been amazing. Thank you to each and every one who owns or has gifted a piece of jewelry from The 7th Crow. I would always be honored to work with you again in the future, and if you have any problems or issues with a piece you have received, please don't hesitate to contact me! I want to make sure you are 100% happy.
The Artisan Group! This amazing group not only has faith in me and in my craft, but the support of the group as a whole has been game changing! I hope every single member knows how much I respect you and look forward to 2012 and the future of our bond as artisans. Thank you. Specifically to the leadership of TAG - "Thank you" doesn't even express it. Without your patience and guidance, I wouldn't be able to have done the two biggest things that I NEVER though or even imagined could be possible. The gift bag for Zooey Deschanel (one of my all time favorite girls in the world) was an unbelievable opportunity! And being able to promote The 7th Crow in the Golden Globes swag bags (GBK Productions) is so amazing that I'm speechless! You girls are my heroes!
Etsy! I know there is a LOT of work behind the scenes that is done to make a seller's experience so outstanding and user friendly. The ease of resources and research is amazing.
Facebook and Twitter Friends! I don't know how to thank you all enough! I know a lot of you fall into the previous categories, one or all, but by using these outlets, the word is getting out and I appreciate it so very much.

Giving is better than receiving
This Christmas season, I received a couple of custom orders for gifts from new clients. It's always nerve racking for me to take on custom orders even though I LOVE them. I love to work through a piece of jewelry that will truly be one of a kind - a piece that someone thought about specifically for a loved one and just needed a little help from me to get from point A to point B. It's an amazing feeling when it works out how you both hope it will.
Yesterday, on Christmas Day, I was lucky enough to be rewarded with a photograph of a beautiful, young girl. A girl who loves natural stones and all creations of the earth, such as trees and the moon and her native country of India. After talking with her Aunt, we came up with a fantastic idea for a Tree of Life pendant that would be made specifically for this amazing girl. I researched the trees of India and found a perfect fit. I created a tree just for her that was based off of the Cannonball Tree found in India. Even though I was very happy with the tree, I still worried, as I always do, that she wouldn't like it, or it would be the wrong size. Just normal jitters, I suppose. Yesterday, I received a picture of a beautiful, smiling girl, wearing the necklace I made just for her. She had an amazing glow on her face that brought joy to my heart and a tear to my eye.
Later yesterday evening, after all the festivities had settled down at my house here in Dallas, my dear friend, Laura, sent me a note thanking me so much for the jewelry she had received as a Christmas gift from her mother. She was overjoyed and clearly expressed her love and gratitude for the gift. Now, Laura and I have been friends for several years, but I've never met her mother, nor knew her name. It took a while, thinking about it to realize which order must have been for Laura, but I figured it out. :) A lot of online sellers get frustrated when they have to do more than take someone's money, make a product and ship it. But I took time to help this mother through Etsy and how it works. Even with PayPal having issues and hurdles being thrown our way, we figured it all out and the jewelry made it to its destination in time! And not only did it make it in time for a Christmas gift for my client's daughter, it made it in time for my dear friend to open at Christmas with her mommy. Priceless!
Anyway, I know I've been going on for a while here, but I wanted to put some joy into the world today. While it wasn't my personal best Christmas ever, I had a part in at least two good ones and that makes up for a lot.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, etc.....
XOXOXOXOXO,
Jamie
