Plumeuphoria On Etsy

PLUMEUPHORIA on Etsy is a unique shop which features handmade jewelry and accessories usually adorned with feathers. Shop Owner Nicole of Plumeuphoria is a valued member of the Central Florida Etsians and currently only sells her products on Etsy.   






Plumeuphoria got started on Etsy a little over a year ago, providing only feather hair extensions and has expanded the line by adding handmade jewelry.  Nicole tries to incorporate trends in her shop's pieces in order to appeal to a fashion forward audience.



When asked what inspires her, Nicole easily stated she is inspired by my surroundings, my culture, and mother nature. The most popular item in Plumeuphoria currently are the ear cuffs. Nicole feels they are really popular within the younger crowd and thats why they've become best sellers.





For Nicole, Plumeuphoria is her full-time job as well as her hobby.  She states, "My creative process works strangely. I create as I go. It's almost spontaneous." 




When asked what her favorite products to work on are, Nicole said she really enjoy making the ear wraps, they're fun and bold. According to Nicole, "They're great statement pieces and I spend a lot of time on each and every precious ear wrap I make."




To market Plumeuphoria, Nicole tries to use almost all the social media available - Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest. She tries to follow those who are interested in her products and then invites them to see her shop. Aside from Etsy, Nicole can be currently found on Tumblr - plumeuphoriabynicole.tumblr.com



Nicole's words of wisdom for readers who are considering opening a shop on Etsy are, "Don't be afraid. If you want to be successful, then you must work hard. You have to target a specific audience and let your creative juices flow! It will be worth it in the end."





Visiting Plumeuphoria on Etsy is definately worth the small amount of time to peruse approxiamtely one hundred gorgeous designs. At the time this blog post has been created, Plumeuphoria is offering this great special: 

ENTER COUPON CODE: FEATHERLOVE FOR 15% OFF!

In addition to being a talented artist, Nicole is trying to raise awareness for the Invisible Children. Please take a moment to watch the video below.


Joseph Kony - a horrible human being who abducts children from their homes and forces them to be part of the L.R.A. to commit horrendous acts of violence on people. The boys are forced into the army while the girls are forced to be sex slaves.

This year, 2012, is our year to make a change and help change the lives of the children in Uganda. We must raise awareness in order to have justice.

Please watch this video and share:

This bracelet which can be purchased from Plumeuphoria symbolizes our hope for change and your charitable donation to Invisible Children. For each bracelet sold, $5 will be donated to Invisible Children.

Thank you for your contribution. Knowledge is power.
