CraeVita Giveaway - June 8th - 14th


Absolutely brilliant! CraeVita makes some of the most unique jewelry! I love this piece!:)

---

Introduce yourself!:)
My name is Victoria. I absolutely love art in all it's forms. I make all kinds of random things at home but I am currently only selling my stone wrap bracelets. The rest of the time I spend outdoors in the beautiful Arizona desert!


Tell us a bit about your business..
CraeVita started with me making jewelry for myself and friends. One day a friend of mine introduced me to Etsy so I started selling on here. I absolutely love the Etsy community and what it stands for! The people are great!
I plan on expanding when the time is right and carrying more jewelry styles but for now I love making my wrap bracelets.


What inspired you to start your etsy shop?
My friends! Also, my collection of wraps was getting too big not to share!

When you're not being crafty, what do you do?
I love to be outdoors and traveling. I take roadtrips whenever I can and look for unique beads. I love meeting new people and learning about how people live. The ocean is my favorite place to be!


Whats your favorite book, song, movie & website?
Book: There are so many, I recently read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz..what a great book! I love any book that I can learn something from.
Song: I love beats, not so much music that you hear on the radio. Reggae is great!
Movie: The Beach, The Fall, Accross The Universe
Website: Etsy...of course

How do you promote your work?
Well I recently joined Twitter so I am still learning about that! twitter.com/craevita I rely a lot on word on mouth and I use Etsy advertising when I can actually get a spot!


What are your short-term & long-term goals?
Short term goals are to get into a local boutiques within the next couple months.
Long term I would love to get my own website, which would require me to get somewhat computer literate! I want CraeVita to be a name everyone recognizes with quality design.

Tell us something random about you!
I am a Ukrainian born girl who moves around frequently. Thank goodness for online business!

I love your jewelery because of how natural and lovely the pieces are. My fave one is the aquamarine necklace because of how the beads remind me of stones I've seen near the beach in Rhode Island.
