If you sell your jewelry (or clothing or knitted items) designs, do you also keep (or specifically design) pieces for yourself? I definitely do; for one thing, I made my own jewelry for a long time before I began selling it, and for another thing, it seems to make good sense. I mean, if you're wearing something, you're increasing the chance that someone will see it and like it and then you can mention your shop to them...
Every once in awhile, too, I have to admit, I get some beads in that I just love so much I just keep them. These Russian doll beads I actually ordered for myself, along with some neon orange and sky blue ones. If I get good feedback on the neons, I will order more and design some necklaces for my shops...
