get 'em while you can!

get 'em while you can!

just giving fair warning: after christmas, a bunch of my stuff will be given a fond farewell to make room for new things for the new year.

here are some of the things that will be going bye-bye:

all of my gift sets. they just didn't sell! they were a great deal at $27 for a necklace and matching earrings (a $30 value), but alas, people just don't seem to want a whole matching set. you don't have to wear the necklace and the earrings all at once, though. oh well, i have reduced the price to $25. out of what's left after christmas, some sets will be broken down and sold as earrings and necklaces separately, and the others will be scrapped for parts :p. so if you like any of these gift sets, get them while they're still available!

'starfish' - a star washi magnet set. while this set is super cute (and brandon was so clever to think up the name!), the stars are a pain in the butt to cut the washi for (each piece of wood is slightly different than the next, ugh) and i am nearly out of supplies to make these sets, anyway. these little guys are $10, and there are 5 little magnets in the set, plus the matching washi-coated tin :). oh, all the star-shaped earring sets are being discontinued, as well, so check my earrings section for those!

'winter wonderland' - a washi-scape pendant necklace on a silver-plated chain. this is a seasonal piece, so i will stop selling it after christmas. i have several available at the moment, so if you're feeling festive, you can show your holiday cheer with this little cutie for just $10 :).

also leaving my shop for good: everything with 'clearance' in the title. just search my shop for 'clearance', and you'll see some really sweet deals!

but while it seems like my shop might be barren after the new year, don't fret! i have two awesome new lines coming out in the near future (one will be released this friday - stay tuned!), plus i will be beefing up my selection of rings, magnets, and bobby pins. and of course i'm always creating new pendant necklaces!

now's a great time to take advantage of some great deals in my shop! when the stuff listed above is gone, it's gone forevers ;p. and don't forget:

• buy 3, get 1 free on all pocket mirrors (duplicates, too!)
• free shipping on all orders over $50
• all pendant necklaces have been reduced to $10 or less for the holiday season

and as always, your order arrives to you gift-ready :).

oh noz! teh internets is failed!

you might have noticed, the internet, that i have not been adding to my blog the last few days. let me explain: i live in a very small town, and when 70mph winds come through (with rain, hail, and a vortex that became a tornado a few miles away), the radio signal that connects me to the internet via a huge tower nearby goes bye-bye! well, just such a scenario took place a week and a half ago, and while i was able to connect to the net for 5-minute spurts, i certainly couldn't type out a blog these past few days. we had a technician come out and fix everything (finally...), so now i can resume my blogging (and running my business properly)!

things that are going on:

• i listed some new pendant necklaces in my shop! here's an example:

• there are these two birds that keep perching next to our windows and peering in at us. one we named harvey, and the other crestor. like the heart medication. this is because he has a crest of feathers on top of his head, and i though 'crest-or' would be a funny name :p. i couldn't get the best picture of him (he flies away when i pull out my camera, the sneaky bugger), but here:

see him up there? sorry for the crappy-quality photo, it truly was the best i could do in a split-second!

this is the archway in front of our house. there are eggs in the birdhouse, but no birds seem to be using the bird feeder yet for some reason.

there's harvey on the electrical pole's guidewire, watching me carefully :p.

• i'm having a clearance sale! grab what you want a.s.a.p. because i'm unlisting all that stuff friday morning (maybe saturday if i forget, haha). there are tons of pendant necklaces in there for just $5!
  
• i am so looking forward to seeing my favourite author, chuck palahniuk, in just a few weeks! i just got done reading his nonfiction fugitives and refugees and i've started on his other nonfiction stranger than fiction.
  
• i am a big fan of quentin tarantino and robert rodriguez (whose house i drive past whenever i drive to austin), so it's amazing that i never got around to seeing the grindhouse double feature of planet terror and death proof. well, i bought them and watched them with brandon this weekend, and let me just say that i am in love with death proof. what an awesome flick (other than all the drug use, but it does sort of serve a purpose). the music is really cool for the most part, too.
  
• my wholesale order made it safely to its owner, and she loved the earrings! i am so happy! if they sell well, she's going to order more :).

well, believe it or not, that's all i've got to say right now. i hope everyone's having a great week, and don't forget to check out my clearance!
