New Wood Hoop Earrings and Contest Reminder

My Bayong wood hoops have been very popular this year!  People love that they are so bold and still so light.  I might add that they are a steal at only $15 (and free shipping!)

 

I just added two new styles of wood.  There is a grayish green color call Graywood.  I personally love these because I wear a lot of green myself!  I think they would look good with black too.

I also have some ebony wood hoops.  I love the grain of these earrings.  They have nice stripes!

I have changed my newsletter service provider.  The old one was giving me problems.  It seemed like people were having a hard time confirming their emails.  So things should work a little better now.  Let me know if you see any problems.

And don't forget to sign up for my newsletter if you haven't already because the beginning of December is fast approaching and a new winner will be picked!  See details here.

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I wish I had a cute family picture to share but we forgot to take one this year!  That happens when you are sleep deprived and running after small children.

Gift Guides are Good!

I woke up this  morning to a nice surprise!  The owner of the Upstate Fancy blog had convoed me to let me know she had featured me in her Holiday Gift Guide.  What a treat!

You can find my red wood filigree earrings in the "For the Girls" section.  Lots of pretty things to look at!

Today starts my Free First Class Shipping for the Holidays.  Everything is set for free shipping in my Etsy store so you don't have to do a thing.

Jewelry Party Weekend!

This last weekend was a whirlwind!  We left for Southern California at 9:00am on Saturday.  Doesn't sound too bad right?  Well baby girl woke up at 4:00am that morning to make sure I would miss her!  So I had about 4 hrs of sleep.

I survived with lots of Starbucks.  Saturday afternoon was the big party.


I got all my jewelry and clothes for the weekend in a carry on.  Needless to say, I had nothing in the way of displays.  Just wouldn't fit.

On a sidenote...if security sees lots of jewelry in your bag they might ask you if you want a private screening.  Sounds dirty right?  I was like "I'm married!"  ha ha

Apparently my airport gets lots of jewelry and coin vendors through there and they offer to go through things privately as to not show the contents of your suitcase with the world.  Very thoughtful.



I think we did okay with our limited resources!  I love seeing my jewelry all laid out.  I always have it packed away and protected.



We had a great time too.  Of course once things got going I forgot all about my camera!


I did manage to talk a few people into pictures before they left.  This is a long time customer.  She managed to find a few new pretties to add to her collection!


Another group of ladies that were sweet enough to smile for the camera.  My sister is next to me.  She was right there shopping with the rest if them!

It was a fun weekend but I definitely missed my fam and I am happy to be home!

We Have a Winner!
