It's September first and I'm starting to fill up the Etsy shop again, so here is the usual thread of new shinies, gathered in one place so that you can mute it if you wish to avoid shiny temptations.
Here's the shop after August's birthday clearance sale:

OK, that makes 19 items in the shop, of which 17 are actually available (two are on hold), which means I have two hundred and eighty three pieces to go to reach my goal.

There were 19 items in the shop, with 17 actually available (2 on hold). We added 15 pairs of earrings, so now we’re at…
… 31 of which 30 are available. This one’s on hold waiting for Etsy’s Design Awards thing to finish so its person can have it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/802106105/on-hold-entered-in-the-etsy-design

If you're wondering how 19 items plus 15 items equals 31 items, it was through the magic of "some stuff sold as I was putting other stuff up."
Oh, almost forgot: 31 items in the shop, of which 30 are available. So it's 270 to go to reach my goal.

That's what I'd usually say. Except some sold just now, and we're back down to 29 items in the shop, of which 28 are available. So it's 272 to go.

SHINIES INCOMING!
There are 27 pieces in the Etsy shop right now, of which 26 are available. (The one that's in the Etsy Design competition is on hold because it has to stay there while deliberations are happening, and someone's claimed it and will buy it then.)
Tonight's theme: abalone.
"The Song of Water Is a Very Long Song" earrings: abalone and faceted glass on sterling silver. Much sparkle and swirly colors. Mostly green. https://www.etsy.com/listing/842604838/the-song-of-water-is-a-very-long-song
"Secondhand Cosmology" earrings are me playing with the colors in these abalone shell beads. The faceted glass stars have purple inside them, and other things. https://www.etsy.com/listing/843578086/secondhand-cosmology-earrings-sterling
"Wind and Water People" earrings are playing with the way purple and grey-blue dance in these abalone shells and faceted glass beads. https://www.etsy.com/listing/847289032/wind-and-water-people-earrings-abalone
"Night of the Mermaids" earrings, looking at the grey-greens and the midnight blues as accents to the abalone shell beads. https://www.etsy.com/listing/864442033/night-of-the-mermaids-earrings-abalone
"Dreamfisher" earrings: abalone and faceted glass on sterling silver. The easiest way of saying something is sometimes to make a tangible object rather than use words. This can be frustrating, but when it leads to earrings like this, I'm OK with it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/864845523/dreamfisher-earrings-abalone-shell
"A Little Razzle Dazzle, Said the Mermaid" earrings: abalone and glass and sterling silver, and we're talking about a mermaid who's been around a little, you know what I mean? This is no ingenue who's all fins and gullibility. https://www.etsy.com/listing/864854887/a-little-razzle-dazzle-said-the-mermaid
"The Society of Sea Crones" earrings: abalone shell and glass and sterling silver, and I am satisfied with this photograph. That doesn't happen all that often, but this one feels right, for what these earrings are. https://www.etsy.com/listing/850940320/the-society-of-sea-crones-earrings
OK, we've added 7 pieces, and now we're up to 34 pieces in the shop, of which 33 are available.
267 to go in order to reach my goal.
ONWARD.

"Telling Time by the Spirits" earrings: these have some of those flat round etched glass beads I love for the contrast between clear and etched sections. The glass itself is sort of a blue-grey-green that's close to some labradorite. https://www.etsy.com/listing/836310810/telling-time-by-the-spirits-earrings
"The Duties of a Sunset Queen" earrings have all sorts of colors going on in there, mostly purple golden peach rose and a greyed out green which is just lovely. https://www.etsy.com/listing/851296187/the-duties-of-a-sunset-queen-earrings
"Sound the Trumpets of the Dawn" earrings: because there need to be some smaller sparkly faceted glass earrings, and these rose and purple ones are. https://www.etsy.com/listing/851311183/sound-the-trumpets-of-the-dawn-earrings
"A Formal Introduction to the Sea" earrings: blues and greens in faceted glass of interesting shapes, all on sterling silver. https://www.etsy.com/listing/854380819/a-formal-introduction-to-the-sea
"The Magic That Was There All Along" earrings: these varied shapes of faceted glass have interesting coatings that provide shifting colors, but when you look through them, they're a very subtle shade sometimes called "black diamond." https://www.etsy.com/listing/855440027/the-magic-that-was-there-all-along
"The Light Beyond a Name" earrings: these big faceted glass short barrel beads are almost the shade called jonquil in glass, but they're paler than that. I love them very much, and hope someone else will too. https://www.etsy.com/listing/842496350/the-light-beyond-a-name-earrings-glass
"Leaf Shade" earrings:
Well, that worked. :)
(Shades of green and blue with a big square at bottom and a drop at top, with a frosted green glass bead in the center.) https://www.etsy.com/listing/861726755/leaf-shade-earrings-glass-sterling

"Naming the Colors of My Heart's Delight" earrings: more faceted square glass beads, purple this time, with some aqua Czech glass and so forth, all on sterling silver.
I am ridiculously pleased with how these turned out. https://www.etsy.com/listing/866866013/naming-the-colors-of-my-hearts-delight

Tomorrow (Monday Aug--- wait, September 7th) is "Things with Wings," and there is more sparkly glass in there as well.
About to post Things with Wings to the Etsy shop. Those of you who don’t want to be surprised by owls might want to mute this thread now. Those of you seeking owls, there are two pairs of owl earrings about to show up.
