Christmas in July and Reader's Discount

Hey All! Starting now through the end of July, all my beaded ornaments will ship for free from my ArtFire shop - celebrating Christmas in July! I have 4 more that are made but not photographed and listed - I'll get those up this weekend if I can, or 4th of July weekend. In other news, I'm nearing the end of my Capstone Project (master's thesis) Proposal and almost have it all worked out and approved. I need to present it to my adviser and classmates the first week in July (online web meeting - I LOVE my online program through Penn State's World Campus!) so that may interfere with getting the new ornaments listed. But I'll try! I have to finish the last round of edits on my Proposal (it's about 2200 words and shaping up WELL, I'm really proud of myself) and make the PowerPoint presentation I'll give the first week of July. Then I might get a week or two off of school to do crafty things - more ornaments and getting the rest of what I've already made listed in my shops! And in case anyone is wondering, the coupon code 15BLOG is good in my Etsy, ArtFire, Yatimi and Zibbet shops. Groove Press doesn't have the option of coupon codes yet, but I'll add one there as soon as I can. So you can get your special "Blog Reader's Discount" in most of my online shops.

Midtown Bazaar

Hey All! Come on out to Midtown Bazaar tomorrow if you're in the Sacramento area! From noon til 5pm, at 19th and L, behind WEAVE, next door to Harv's Car wash. And if you buy anything from any vendor, you can enter to win a free car wash! I'll be there with new stuff, rocks, and hopefully a bit better display. Come check it out!

Holiday Weekend Productivity

So I set up my booth at Midtown Bazaar this past Saturday - and got rained out! It's not supposed to do that in Sacramento for Memorial Day Weekend... But I also got quite a lot of productive things done, like 5 new pairs of crystal-pearl cluster earrings and a couple new pairs of amethyst gemstone earrings. I'll get them all listed in my shops in the next week or two, but for now, here's a preview, as well as a pic of my booth set up.

Also, one of my items was featured in a new Etsy Treasury! Check out "Lilacs in Bloom"! And now, the previews of the new earrings (with rain spots on the velvet pad):
