- Has it always been called Helene Thomas?
- Yes
- No
If you guessed no, you’re correct! Yay! 2 for 2! I started with jewelry only and the brand was known as Helene Jewelry. In fact, I sold under 2 brand names in the beginning. Helene Jewelry was the full price brand, and Haute Rebellion was the off-price brand, because if someone was going to knock off my designs, it WAS going to be ME. Helene Thomas only came to be when I added the bags 4 years ago.
If you’re wondering where this is going, here it is – After 12 years, I have accumulated TONS of supplies. TONS!!! Do I need them? Definitely not. Are they taking up precious storage space? Most certainly.
As I mentioned, I have a ton of supplies. A Surplus. Enough to stock a small store…… So that’s what I’ve decided to do. Stock a small online store until they’re all gone. It’s called Jewel Supplies Surplus and you can find it on Etsy. (There’s also a link in the navigation bar above). I will be adding new pieces every week. Some items I have a bunch of, others I may have only 3 of, or less. I am listing all of it at or below what I originally paid for it. So if you love making jewelry, or adding beads and findings to things, check it out! All of the items have a story, which I will be telling in my weekly Dear Creatives videos on my YouTube channel. My goal for 2021 is to get rid of it all. Fingers Crossed!!
