Don't forget Mom on May 11th! She's one of a kind (I know my mom is!) and her jewelry should be too.
Don't fret if you're scrambling. I can ship straight to mom. I can even include a personalized card. Just let me know in notes to seller.
Don't wait any longer! Get mom a great gift that shows her how much you appreciate her!
Congratulations to Kari S in Maryland for winning my contest! She won the earrings pictured above. I hope you enjoy your new earrings.
Thanks everyone for playing!
Everyone loves a giveaway right? I know I do (Although I have the WORST luck! I never win!). So, I decided to participate in the Spring Carnival at Bloggy Giveaways. There are going to be a ton of blogs participating and lots of chances to win things.
Here's what I am giving away: A free pair of earrings of your choice. I will ship anywhere so everyone is welcome to participate.
The rules:
1. One entry per person
2. Go look at the earrings and find your favorite pair. Leave a comment with your choice.
Easy right? I will choose a winner this weekend.
To see what else you can win click on the pink bloggy giveaway picture above!!!!
I just listed these cool retro-esque filigree wood earrings. They are similar to the pink ones I have listed. I also listed a few colors of the mother of pearl teardrop earrings.
I saved one of these for myself. I love them.
Also, there is a special one day sale going on in my Etsy store. I am nearing 100 listings and I want to clean house! So get on over there and find something for mom!
Wanna win a free Sharma Designs necklace? Well head on over to Rare Bird Finds and enter the contest. Our sponsor for this week backed out and well...I have all this jewelry...so I decided to sponsor it myself. (it starts Feb 24th so if you are reading this late Sunday night just wait a day)
It's easy to enter so get over there!
I added lots of new goodies to the shop this weekend so go check it out too!
On Etsy, many people do a SNS on Saturday. SNS stands for Saturday Night Special. I have to admit that I have participated in a few SNS in my day. Of course I was the one buying.
Anyway, tonight until midnight PST I will be offering 20% off everything in the store. Just go through the checkout process but don't click through to paypal. Wait for an invoice from me. I will revise it to reflect the 20% off.
Until I get a few more sales under my belt I figure it's a good way to get my name out there. So take advantage!
Wow! You guys were FAST! There is almost nothing left on the site. I added the last of the goodies last night. Once they are gone...that's all.
I was actually having fun packaging things up. It made me happy that so many of my best customers got lots of goodies for a great price.
I took down the necklace sections since most of them were empty anyway. So now when you click on handmade necklace you see all we got.
Hope you had a great weekend. Go see what's new!
If you are on my email list then you already know the sad news. I announced earlier this morning that I will be closing Sharma Designs.
This has been such a hard decision for me. I love Sharma Designs and I have worked so very hard to get it to where it is today. When I started out 4 years ago I was so green. I knew nothing about search engines and marketing. I think I scanned my jewelry on a scanner. I had designed my own little website. I have learned so much over the years. It seems like such a waste to leave it all behind.
Until I remember why I want to close shop. See..I have a toddler and a baby on the way and I have been married less than a year. I feel that it is just not fair to my family to put so much energy into Sharma Designs. I am an all or nothing kind of girl and as much as I would love to just scale back or keep myself to a minimum amount of hours I know that it's just not in me.
So..I am closing. I feel such peace with my decision. And of course I'm sad. I will miss running a small business (although I do have Rare Bird to keep me busy - and it does!). I will miss checking my email every few minutes. I'll miss the constant search for a new place to advertise. And of course I will miss making tons of jewelry. I will still make some. Just not tons. I will however be spending alot more time with my family and actually getting a good nights sleep. And I think the trade off is well worth it.
So there it is. You can get in on the closing sale by entering code ByeSharma at checkout. You will receive 50% off of anything in the store. Enjoy!
Thanks to everyone who helped make Sharma such a success over the years!
The whole site is on sale for 30% off for the next few days. I have to cut it off Thursday because we are flying to Washington (state) to see my mother in law for New Years weekend. Gotta get a trip in before baby girl turns 2. (2!!!! How is that possible?)
There are some really great pieces still available for a STEAL so get on over there and shop!
It's a little crazy over here right now. Orders are pouring in...I'm trying to replenish stock as fast as it leaves so that I still have goodies for my shows...I'm working on some new badge holders for my show at Lockheed Martin (the ones they have in the gift shop leave a lot to be desired)...and of course I'm trying to do my Christmas shopping at the same time.
So here are a few earrings I missed when frantically taking pictures the other night. The shell circle ones are $19 and the silver leaves are $33 and the gold are $35. So if you want any of them for yourself just shoot me an email. I'm not sure when I will have a chance to get them up.
