Why I'm Closing Down My Shop...

- in 2021 I was so excited to announce my new website/shop and I had high hopes for it. But now, in 2024 I am saying goodbye to my shop forever. This video explains why and what you can expect. Thank you for all your support and if you'd like to grab a bargain, my shop is below:
helenadaydreamer.com
It was a ride and I have definitely learned so much while planning, setting up and running this business, not just new skills, but also a lot about myself. It's been a learning curve and I am ever so grateful for this.
Besides, when something old ends, something new begins... - Jak na to + styl
‼IMPORTANT‼I am not leaving CZcams, I will still upload videos on jewellery making and crafts ❤ If I ever make a video on leaving this CZcams channel, you bet I'd be crying like a baby in that video 😅
I have just uploaded lots of wire and wooden jewellery to my shop, there are also a lot of pieces I made in my CZcams tutorials. So whether it's to wear, or just have it as a memorabilia, go ahead and grab one or two, I tried to price them quite low for you. I simply can't wear all the pieces I make and I was holding on to them for the memories, but I think it's time to let go 💖 Also, I will definitely be making 'packaging orders' videos for this sale, I always wanted to do it, but never got round doing it 😊
I can tell this was so hard for you to do but I’m actually really excited for your future and what you’re about to start so I do wish you luck and I hope you have all the success you deserve. So much of life is trial and error and so much we have no control over. Our only job is to try to make our dreams come true and the one that does is the one that was meant to.
Thank you for sharing Helena ❤
Thank you so much for your encouraging words ❤ Yes it was hard to make that decision, I guess that's why it took me so long to finally do it. Btw I will print this out and frame it: 'Our only job is to try to make our dreams come true and the one that does is the one that was meant to. ' Love it! ❤ thank you again and have a beautiful day ☀
@@HelenaDaydreamer oh thank you Helena, the past few years for me have been some of the hardest due to my health I was advised I could no longer work well I’m not able to be employed so I’ve decided to try all the things I love and right now that’s making jewellery which is how I found your channel. I’m also a makeup artist my other love 😂 you can never have to many dreams right, sending lots of light & positivity to you ✨🙏💕
@@emy_themua2015 I'm sorry to hear about your health struggles I hope you get better soon. It's interesting how we get navigated by life itself(God/ Universe..) And somehow we suddenly find ourselves in the unknown. And something new is waiting for us.. I hope you can make your passions into something big, but manageable and I wish you all the best. I'm sure you'll find great success with the things you love. Let me know your shop name if you plan on selling jewellery, I would love to check it out. Or send me a message on Instagram. Take care hun 💕💕💕
I’m sorry to hear you had to close down your old website but I’m excited for your new website. Your jewelry is so pretty. Looking forward to seeing your collection and your metal smithing videos. Metal smithing is something I’ve been wanting to do as well.💖
Thank you lovely ❤ Yes, I am excited about silver smithing, it was so intimidating to me, using an open flame, but honestly it's not so bad once I understood the rules 😊 Thank you for being here and have a lovely day ☀
I just found your channel and subscribed at an interesting time. Of course I’m going to go through your old videos because you have so many techniques to help me improve. I’m interested to see which new direction you take your skills and content. You’ve also given me some insight on my own business. I hope it works out and you see the success you want and deserve. ❤
Welcome aboard! Yes, my channel will probably take a different direction now, but I will still be exploring wire work as well as other techniques. I hope you'll like the new content x
I did the same thing. I went through thousands buying jewelry materials to sell. I started designing and was good at it. Did craft shows but didn't sell. I felt exactly the same way Helena. I was excited about having my own business. 😢now I will probably sell everything.
Dear Helena, Thisted was a sad message. I wish I still could make jewelry but Im to old and my eyes Are not so good anymore, but I have l8vedvwatching you. I wish you All the Best in the future and oncecagain thank you.❤❤❤
Thank you so much for being here and watching my tutorials ❤ I will still carry on doing so, I will not be leaving Helena Daydreamer CZcams channel, just closing my shop down. Thank you for your support and take care 😘
This was a little sad but I wish the best for you:) You are loved❤
And so are you lovely ❤ Every end has a new beginning...Thank you and all the best to you too ✨
@@HelenaDaydreamer Yeah, you are right🥺❤️ thank you too✨
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video!! Especially the last part! I REALLY needed to hear that!! I have been struggling with selling my jewelry and other crafts and have invested SO much time and money into it!! I am crying as I am typing this because your words really hit home! THANK YOU!!! I have watched you for many years and will continue to do so!! I wish you the very best in everything you do!! I am looking forward to hearing more about your new adventure!!
Oh Stacey I'm sorry to hear about your struggles, but I am happy you somehow found comfort in this message and I hope it made you feel not so alone in this. I felt like the biggest failure in the world for quite some time and it didn't do anything for me, only made me feel bad. So I had to change my mindset in order to look at things in a different light. I believe in you and I am sure you'll find your way. I wish you all the success in the world doing what you truly love ❤ If you are on Instagram, message me with your shop I would like to check it out ❤
Thank you for your kind words!! You are truly an inspiration! I have always been a very positive person but some days can be really trying especially when you believe in something so much! I am trying to figure out what it is I am really passionate about and head in that direction. We can do this!!! 🥰
@@stacey-jdssurpriseyes! We have got this 🙌🏻 All the best ❤❤❤
I can also relate with Stacy's story. Thank you so much for coming back to add that last part to your video about "if your business is failing, you are not a failure". I applaud your honesty and transparency.
Your next endeavor will be better suited for you, I'm sure.
Thank you - you are indeed an inspiring creative person. I wish you all the best ❤
Hi Helena, I'm so sorry ro hear this. I enjoyed your videos and tutorials so much, I've learned so much with your teachings. But I do Understand what you're going through. This is a very expensive hobby and as much as I love it. I have to admit I can't spend the money I would like to make real jewelery. Thank you so much for your teachings you are a great teacher and I will miss you.
❤ change is growth with all the growing pains, life keeps us on our toes recreating ourselves over and over. I'm an artist and enjoy watching you work on your craft, brilliant designs and you are an excellent instructor ❤
Well said, love that ❤️ Yes, we just need to keep going, keep growing, keep trying. Life is a journey... Have a lovely day and thank you ❤️
Helena, I really wanted to make my business a faith-based business dedicated to God. But I neglected to do what I originally intended which was designing faith-based designs. I prayed for God to bless it and lead me. I am going to continue designing to glorify God and give my proceeds to a ministry. I believe in God. I neglected what I intended to do and that's why it wasn't working out. Pray and trust in God
I’m so sorry to hear about your experience, it can be really frustrating and sad..😔 I’m happy you are reevaluating your priorities and finding new purpose(or coming back to the original one really) I believe that once your beliefs/ faith aligns with your doing, everything will click into place. I’m in a very similar situation, I feel like I didn’t quite follow my beliefs and what I’d like to share and only now I’m getting back to it. I wish you all the best in the world and may you find peace and happiness in whatever comes your way. Thank you for sharing your story 💕🌸

Oooo how sweet! I am sure your little girls will have so much fun crafting and I'm wishing them success at the farmer's market! I hope they sell all their beautiful creations and then spend the money wisely ❤ Thank you David, I always love reading your poetic comments and learning about your journey. I will still be here on CZcams making jewellery and I hope you will carry on learning new jewellery making techniques with us. Take care and have a nice day ❤
You are so talented and so bubbly and so fun to watch and I have made many of your jewelry designs and get more compliments! I just ordered stuff from your shop before it closes and I loved everything!!! I am sad that is closing.. but your new adventures sound so cool! Keep following your dreams... I am actually thinking of opening my own shop on Etsy, but I am frightened to do so.... (maybe I will)... Any way... Good Luck sweet lady! You are awesome!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your support and I am so happy you liked the items, they arrived faster than I though they would :) I'm so happy to hear you are enjoying jewellery making and let me know if you ever do decide to open a shop, I'll check it out. Or send me a dm on instagram if you have your jewellery pieces there. Btw, you can always try and open an Etsy shop, you never know what will happen..Etsy is not that expensive to run your shop on, so it might be a good starting point. Either way, good luck! Sending lots of love ❤
Keep building your confidence & never give up. Be happy in your successes & always hang on to your dreams. You will find your own way - things will work out as they are meant to be, so look forward to what the future may bring! 👍
Thank you so much, you have said it so beautifully ❤ I appreciate you, thank you for your encouragement ❤
Dear Helena, good luck with your new projects! I hope you'll make something beautiful again, since you are definitelly a dreamer, creator, sweet soul. And an idea for CZcams video, since you already told us about how much they pay you, you can film just a simple video about it. People love to know the details. Stay positive and strong! 🤗🤟🍀
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words ❤️ your suggestion for the video is great, I personally love watching these kinds of videos, I’m just not sure if everyone here would like it too. But will definitely consider this ❤️
So sorry to hear about your shop! I love watching your videos, especially the ones where you use wire to make your beautiful creations!💕
Thank you, I’ll make more wire wrapping jewelry videos I hope you’ll enjoy them ❤❤❤
I’m so disappointed to hear this. I am in the same boat. My savings are gone and my credit cards are full and no sells. I’m 61 years old and once again I’m angry and disappointed with myself because I let all the positive feedback lead me to a false sense of success. It’s easy for someone to like and show interest in your work but a whole different story to actually spend the money to purchase. I’ve tried and had zero success my whole life up to this point and once again, I fell for the trick. I’m a senior now and it will take many years to pay off this debt. I guess success was not in my cards this lifetime. I wish you all the best, Helena, may all your wishes come true, this is my hope for you.
Are you still on insta? I've tried all your social media and apart of tik tok, nothing works. I think your work is amazing, pretty special indeed and very artistic! it's a shame you don't have a shop anymore. Anyways, I understand what you mean, a lot of people will like your work, but hen you don't get much sales. It's sad and makes you feel like what you do it's not worth the time... But then think, think how it makes you feel, creating all these pieces, coming up with new designs, is it something you love to do? does it make you feel alive? if it does, then perhaps it is the way.. your jewelry is lovely and unique in my opinion 💙 And I wish you all the luck 💙 But, if you decide to open your shop again or make an instagram, I will be more than happy to help xxx
Nothing in life stays the same, and life would be so boring if it did. If you never try would never know what will be, so much time can wasted wondering "what if". Please recognize what you have accomplished. ❤ So excited to see what's next!
Thank you for this, you are completely right. It's just hard to let go sometimes, but then If you don't let go, you can't make space for something new. Even if it's still in the unknown, something new is already brewing.. Thank you for your encouragement and have a lovely day ❤
@@HelenaDaydreamer change be scary...and that's okay.
Sad to see you go as I just discovered your channel. I wish you best of luck in your new path. Channeling love, strength and success your way. Thank you for the items I purchased. Hope it will help you toward your new goal. Hugs.
Oh my goodness thank you 🥹❤ I really appreciate your support and I hope you will like your items. I'm still gonna carry on posting jewellery making videos here on CZcams, I'm just sadly closing my shop down. So I hope you can still stay here for the tutorials ❤
Absolutely @@HelenaDaydreamer
Just found you...sorry to see you didn't do well with your jewelry/jewelry supply business, but you are getting into laser engraver/cutters at the same time I am. So, I'm looking forward to your laser videos and plan to watch your jewelry videos as well. I see your website shop is still open, so I will get a kit and tools to start learning how to do jewelry.
That’s so exciting! What laser do you currently have? I just love it and I hope to make many more laser related projects and videos as well as jewelry making videos. Thank you very much for your order, I have closed my official website/store at the end of March, but I’m still keeping my shop on Etsy for now. Take care and have a wonderful day ❤️
I just want to give you a big hug! sorry to hear about your store, but when one door closes.... 💜💜💜 ....windows open :)
I'll take that hug ❤ That you so much my friend, you are amazing and I appreciate you ❤ Ps: I'm just sat next to an open window now 😄 Have a lovely day 😘
So sorry!
Thank you for watching ❤
I just found your site. So sad to see you leave! You're a great instructor!
I'm really happy you came across my channel :) I'm not leaving CZcams or this channel, but I closed one of my shops down, where I sold jewellery making supplies.
I really commiserate with you. I make many different types of jewelry, including wire and bead weaving. I have it in four different shops and have received very little success. After spending way too much money on materials and many hours of labor designing beautiful jewelry, most pieces remain on the displays. It truly is disheartening. My heart goes out to you; I fully understand.
I’m sorry to hear that, it can be difficult to stay motivated to make more if the pieces you have already made don’t sell. Especially if u use precious metals or expensive beads etc. I grow to think the best is selling online and simply promote, promote, promote. TikTok, instagram or CZcams. As well as giving some value in a meanwhile. But it is possible to run a successful jewelry business I think, it’s mainly about reaching the right customers. But there’s a lot of work involved and a lot to learn about ever changing social media… which then takes the artist from creating to advertising.. and it’s a distraction. can you let me know your website, I’d love to see what you make ❤️
@@HelenaDaydreamer I don't have it on line; I've got it in four stores here locally. If you send me an email address where I can attach pictures, I'll send you a few. I can't figure out how to upload a photo here. Thank you for your interest.
Best of Luck for your Future💕
Thank you so much and to you too ❤
I'm so sorry things didn't really work out the way you had planned. I wish you all the best in your new endeavours. Keep doing what you love and everything will work out. Stay strong, blessings 💪💪🙏😘
Thank you so much, that's really encouraging ❤️ Thank you for your support ❤️😘
So sorry to hear you had to close your shop, I could tell it was hard for you to say you wnhere closing your website and shop! I wish you all the best in the future to new doors that will be opening to you! Love your video's was watching a few of them today your jewelry is beautiful!!!

@HelenaDaydreamer thank you your work is so beautiful. You are a great teacher. Have a wonderful day.
Good luck Helena. I'm just glad you are not leaving CZcams.
Much Love ❣️
Thank you, I'm not leaving any time soon xx
I just ordered ??
Yes, thank you very much for your order, it’ll be shipped after Easter 🐣🌸
😮sorry to hear and happy for your new adventure. I just made a purchase to help you along your journey 😊. Thank you for the incredible videos. 😊
Oh wow, thank you very much! 🥹 I really appreciate it, thank you ❤ I will still upload videos here on CZcams with jewellery making techniques. Have a lovely day and take care ☀❤

Thank you ❤ I'm still staying on CZcams.
Sorry to hear your closing. I really like your videos. I just came across this video. I emailed you to see if I can still buy some items.
I’m only closing my shop, but I will carry on uploading new content on this channel ❤️ I’ve received your order, thank you so much and will ship it after Easter 🌸
You started talking on a sad note, I was about to just unsubscribe bc I thought you were leaving. but really this sounds like something good, you should started by saying that you are restructuring because your business needs to go in a different direction. But I like that you were honest with your viewers so I appreciate your honesty and transparency as this happens to most people when their vision does not goes the way they want. I actually found you because of your xtool IR review, so to me I like you will be reviewing more lasers and casting as that is what I like to do.
Thank you, yes, I've not scripted my video, so it might have seem like a disaster, but really, I'm just being honest and sharing what is really happening..I'll be definitely exploring the world of lasers so I hope you'll enjoy it xx
Shopify has become far too expensive, that's why I'm redoing my website with wordpress. With hosting I pay 23€ per month with a better seo.
Good luck to you Helena :)
Thanks for sharing, I ended up paying annually to get the best rate, but it's surely a big expense especially upfront.. Thank you and good luck to you too x
No such thing as Failure! I agree ❤❤❤❤
Hellow friend q alegre verte y saludarte,no entiendo tu msj pero q bueno estes bien😊
