SUPER END OF SEASON SALE

Yes, I am shouting in my title. Why? I am shouting because I’m excited to tell you I’m having a major end of season clearance sale.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support me at shows this year. I especially had a lovely time at Bazaar Bizarre and the Cleveland Handmade markets the past couple of weekends.

However, inventory time is fast approaching and I’d like to have as little to count as possible, so I’m offering some pretty big discounts in an end of season clearance sale. Visit my clearance section to get deals from 25% off to as much as 75% off original jewelry prices.

Thanks for a great year! See you in 2010!

Regularly $29 on sale for $19.50!

It’s March Madness by Eco Etsy!

While it might seem like madness to the members of the Eco Etsy Team to offer fabulous deals on their lovely green goods, it will seem like a brilliant idea to any of you looking for an ecologically friendly purchase or gift.

The Eco Etsy Team is a group of shops that are dedicated to reducing, reusing and recycling.  In my opinion if you do need or want to make a purchase, that’s one of the best ways to go.  Currently, Eco Etsy is running a very special March Madness promotion and offering a free gift with purchase.

This promotion started March 1st and will continue until March 31st at 11:59 EST.  How does it work you might ask?  Here’s the details:

How it works…
When you buy from any of the participating EcoEtsy shops listed below, and provide them with the promo code “Free and Green” in the Message to Seller box during checkout, you will receive a free gift along with your purchase! Free gifts are limited to one per shop. So get your green shopping on, and enjoy some great freebies!

I received information about this wonderful promotion through my artist friend zJayne who is offering a free gift with purchase as part of this special event (choice of basic pouch :: OR :: one lavender dryer pillow sheet) from her shop.  Be sure to enter the promo code at checkout.  Here’s her darling upcycled dryer sachets, made with homegrown lavender.

Clearance Time-Special Savings on Jewelry

Well, I’ve been focusing on doing some “fall cleaning”   As the art show season slows down a bit for me until the holidays I’ve had the opportunity to look over my jewelry collections, streamline them and create a plan for the new lines.

Coming soon, I’ll be unveiling my “contemporary nature” line of jewelry, inspired greatly by some of my husbands suggestions and my mother-in-laws gorgeous bonsai gardens.  I can’t wait to give you a sneak preview.

This also means however, that as I have sold out many pieces from my earlier collections, I have a few lonely pieces that no longer fit in with my current inventories.

So therefore I have moved some pieces to my outlet shop and I’m selling them at some awesome clearance prices!

A few examples of some great deals you can snag yourself include these necklaces from my Aquatic Collection Line :

Ariel Atlantis Necklace

Seafoam Swirls Necklace

Summer Flowers

So I will finally have a garden soon, a real garden that will end up being tons of work most likely. However, it will be thrilling to have a garden and a yard full of trees right near the park. I think this has inspired me to make some more earthy garden-like jewelry. The latest have been a series of flower earrings.

Wisteria Earrings, $16.00

Blue Bellflower Earrings, $16.00

Because I’m so excited about this garden thing I think I’m going to throw my first ever special through Art Addict. If you purchase **anything** from my etsy hop between now and July 9 (the moving date!) I’ll add a free gift to your purchase (at least $15.00 value) when you include the code “GARDEN” in your notes upon checkout.
