Beautiful Baubles: Georgie DesignsFriday April 4, 2008
by Ali  We do our best to check out the websites and blogs of each new member as they sign up. It helps us keep current and we love seeing what you all are up to! We've discovered some great blogs and websites! Recently, we visited member, Georgie's website, Georgie Designs and fell in love with her gorgeous collection of handcrafted artisan jewelry. We love nothing more than discovering quality independent designers. So, we contacted owner & designer, Robyn Klauer right away to get the inside scoop on Chick behind these beautiful pieces. ChickAdvisor: Where do you get your inspiration from? Robyn: I get my inspiration from many places. Lately it's the stones and metals themselves that inspire me. I have learned that less is more. Sometimes I just have to let nature speak for itself.  Georgie Long Sterling Silver Bead Earrings, $82 USDChickAdvisor: How do you find working from home while raising your daughter? Robyn: I love the flexibility, but even that has it's challenges. Flexibility also means being able to stay up until 2am to work, even while knowing you will have to wake up at 6am. It also means being able to juggle armloads of boxes in one arm, while carrying my daughter with the other arm for my daily trips to the post office. ChickAdvisor: What was the toughest part of starting your own business? Robyn: Fear of rejection! It is very nerve-racking to put yourself and your work "out there" for all to judge. But the rewards make it all worthwhile. Georgie Designs pieces are constructed using the highest quality materials, including sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones. They are available for purchase online and in select stores. They ship to the United States for free or a flat fee of $10 international (yes that includes Canada!) And here's the best part: Robyn is throwing in an exclusive discount of 20% off for all ChickAdvisor members who shop online! Enter coupon code CHICK20 and get 20% off all purchases until May 31, 2008. Sweet!  | ||
