We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 3, Lottery Dreams

For our third We Want It Wednesday, we decided that we wanted to win the lottery. You're all invited to help us celebrate! No such party would be complete without amazing Etsy finds, and since we're hypothetical millionaires, we've decided to focus on some of the pricier Etsy pieces. And boy are they worth the dough!

In the top row, from left to right, we start with a beautiful, hand-beaded Thumbelina necklace that Big Sis would be wearing to our soiree. It would be paired with a lovely sky-blue gown to complete her light and ethereal theme. We would be feasting on this fantabulous topsy-turvy Mad Hatter cake, and there's enough for everyone to have seconds!

From left to right in the bottom row, Younger Sis would be rocking it out in this fiercely glamorous purple gown, with an equally stunning purple necklace featuring intricate beading and polished stone. Once the sugar from the cake had the time to set in, we could all take turns swinging from this Parisian shopping chandelier! The chandelier would be slightly prophetic, because come sunrise we would all be hopping on a jet to Europe for a whirlwind shopping spree!

We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 2, Pop Culture Pirates

It’s our second We Want It Wednesday! Now Younger Sis Shiny is up at bat as curator. If you’re ready to fight zombies, join pirates sailing through siren-laden waters, and text Harry Potter about your upcoming visit to the Joker’s place, all with a refined sense of Victorian style, this is the week for you my friend!

Much like the denizens of the bookshelves and DVD collections we ShinyGoLucky sisters hold dear, this is an unlikely group, but one that works. Sort of like the Breakfast Club, or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! As usual, Etsy is bursting at the seams with cool discoveries, and we are more than happy to share some recent favorites.

We Want It Wednesday! - Collection 1, Spring Cheer

Welcome to our very first We Want It Wednesday!

We see so many awesome things on Etsy all the time that the idea of sharing some with our readers made a lot of sense. We’re also treasury junkies, so we’re thrilled by the chance to showcase items without crossing our fingers to land a space on Etsy proper.

The first We Want It Wednesday lineup is a real treat. Spring has sprung and Big Sis Shiny is ready for all things cheery and cute! White daisies are her favorite, and you’ll find them aplenty here. And what could cheer you up quicker than pretty rainbow colors? Check out these beautiful items from our fellow Etsy sellers! (Top left to right, then bottom left to right)

Doing the Front Page of Etsy Happy Dance!

We received a happy email from http://www.statsy.org ! Statsy is a great website for Etsy sellers, and will inform you if one of your items is featured on the front page of Etsy if you sign up for their Featurator right here: http://statsy.org/featurator.php It is delightfully easy to sign up and I recommend it to all our Etsy friends!

Our faux pearl necklace was featured on the front page and we're thrilled to pieces! A great big Thank You to the person who selected it. This pretty necklace also happens to be on sale!

Our Three Musketeers Series Revealed!

A girl doesn't generally wind up with five copies of a book unless she loves it very, very much, so it's small wonder that Big Sis got the idea to create three necklaces based on Aramis, Athos, and Porthos, the three musketeers!

Like Dumas' characters, the necklaces are very different from each other. The Porthos necklace features a bold shield design, the Athos necklace a touch of elegance with upcycled faux pearls, and the Aramis necklace's rich, multicolor beads draw in the eye with a hint of mystery. With all their differences, each necklace features the Fleur de Lis, a famed symbol of France.

The Porthos necklace is already available in our shop. Athos and Aramis will be uploaded soon.

We're thrilled to bring you this series. All for one and one for all!

A Very Big Hint!

When we said exciting things were coming, we meant it! We have a new project (or three!) in the works for you and they'll be premiering on Etsy very very soon!

By the way, Big Sis has five copies of "The Three Musketeers" and they are all in storage. We made a special trip to the library, one of our favorite places anyway.

Younger Sis also found some GORGEOUS pieces we can't wait to bring you.

Until next time, keep shining!

Our New Blog and Why We Love Estate Sales

Welcome to our new blog! Exciting things are afoot for Shiny Go Lucky and we want to be able to share them with you.

We are a pair of sisters in our early twenties who hail from Southern California and recently started selling stuff on Etsy to earn some extra money on the side. We sell handmade jewelry and vintage items, and although we're still waiting for that first sale, we've got some more exciting pieces in the works.

Last week we spent some family bonding time at an estate sale, where we located a gorgeous vintage pearl collar. The girls of days gone by could really get their bling on, and we're thrilled to have this classy little wonder available in our Etsy shop!

Since this is our first post, it seems like the perfect time for us to introduce ourselves!

I'm the Big Sis! I love jewelry, my jewelry box is like a costume box (and who doesn't love dressing up?) I've had friends, roommates, and my Younger Sis all come to me when they need to accessorize outfits for costume parties or Halloween. In this way I've loaned jewelry to a sorceress, a fortune teller, and more, LOL! I also love vintage items and have spent hours staring at old jewelry and pocket watches in glass displays. I made jewelry years ago and am now kicking off a personal beading renaissance!

I'm the Younger Sis! I've definitely got the darker taste between the two of us, and so any way-out-there pieces will be from me. :) I'm the girl known in my circle of friends for having the goods necessary for an instant zombie costume. Lately I've been developing a good eye for vintage pieces, and am excited to start expanding on that horizon. What else? I'm a pirate as opposed to a ninja, Team Jacob, and sell stuff on Craigslist to help fatten my wallet.

Keep your eyes open for new developments from us!
