I'm in an Etsy Treasury!

One of my ornaments is in a lovely Treasury called Snow Showers - A Gift Guide. Check it out!

Special Treat for Blog Readers

OOO! I just figured out how to do a coupon code on ArtFire. SO that means that whether you shop on Etsy or ArtFire, you can enter the code 10BLOG to get 10% off your entire purchase! And just for you loyal readers, I made the code active starting NOW on both my Etsy Shop and my ArtFire Studio. Free shipping will kick in sometime during the day on Thursday (Turkey Day for many of you) so if you want the Black Friday deal early, you can get it Thursday evening. :) Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!

More of a good thing

Here's another lovely treasury on Etsy featuring members of the Sac Etsy Team. One of my beaded ornaments is included - YAY! Bring on the Holidays!

The Upcoming Holiday Shopping Weekend

I'm having a holiday special at both my Etsy and Artfire shops. Starting Black Friday and running through Cyber Monday, I will offer free shipping on ALL items. Anywhere. In addition, I am offering my blog readers 10% off everything. On Etsy, put 10BLOG in the "coupon code" box when you check out and the 10% off will be applied automatically. On ArtFire, just leave a message to me when you check out "Hey, I saw your blog, may I have the 10% off deal?", and I'll refund the 10% to you promptly, or if you prefer, I'll send you a revised invoice.

One little important detail in all this - on SATURDAY the 27th I will be at the Sacramento Midtown Bazaar (come out and see me in person! And if you mention my blog, I'll STILL give you the 10% off) selling from 10am til 4pm and both my shops will be on vacation mode for that time period. As soon as I'm back, both my ArtFire and Etsy shops will reopen. I'll spend Sunday making more things to restock and list new for Cyber Monday, so check back often!

If you've been reading my blog you know our house got broken into on Nov 1st and my digital camera and card reader were both stolen. I will be borrowing my mom's digital camera (not as nice as mine was, but hey, beggars can't be choosers) and taking pictures and listing as much as I can before Black Friday, and again for Cyber Monday. So there will be new items and specials!

Happy Thanksgiving!

YIPPEE! A SALE!

Hooray! I sold my first item on ArtFire to someone I don't know! A lovely lady in New York has purchased one of my Knotty Silk Anklets. I'll get that in the mail before we drive to Mendocino today. :)
I had my first Etsy sale to someone I don't know in September - a pair of my labradorite drop earrings are now being worn somewhere in London. So it was just about a year on Etsy before I made my first unknown sale and only a month and a half til I made my first unknown sale on ArtFire! Hopefully this is the beginning of more good things. YAY!
