Very nice site ;-) I clicked the About me, and didn`t see any content, so that might help. One thing that`d be cool would be in your round-robin display at the top of the home page, a click anywhere would take people to the "Shop" page.

Or even cooler would be a click on one of the picture would freeze the circle at that picture. Another option would be when a picture fades to the far background, replace it with another picture of the overall inventory so that the round robin eventually cycles through the entire inventory.

The text in your shopping cart was a bit small for my eyes, on a high resolution LCD panel, so perhaps make it a bit larger. Another bugaboo of mine is not knowing the shipping charges.

You might add a page, "Terms & Policies" or something, where you could explain your shipping process and rates. It might be nice if the buyer could put in a ZIP code before filling out an entire order form, then get a cost of shipping. What would be even better is to adjust your prices to include free shipping. (Number of articles here on SuN about that.)

Overall, I like it. The next problem becomes visibility. You`ve got some fine beading, but basically..."so what," if you know what I mean. How will you differentiate Marie`s beaded jewelry from the rest of the world market? That`s a branding and marketing strategy issue.
