BLING BLING!!!!! AND MORE

I have been very busy purchasing this year's stock over the last few months and I have many new items now to offer!  One of them is the latest in bling bling - multi-tracked cubic zirconia/crystal resin beads.  These are really awesome, and the photos really don't capture their beauty!  They are very light weight, not like a metal bead, so they won't add more weigh to your bracelet, and they are ultra sparkly!  Even out of direct light they still reflect light, but in a more subdued way.  I have lots of colors and color combos available that I have just listed. And I have more bling on order and soon to be delivered - I don't have photos yet but there are some really pretty crystal beads coming - channels (rectangular shaped crystals) and multi-studded barrels, pomegranites and balls.  Also new is the addition of gold Pandora style jewelry for those of you who have been asking!  Expect to see new listings for gold plated bracelets and beads any day now!
I
Also new are the addition of Pandora stamped lampwork beads.   Each of these beads is handmade, so there may be minor variations - but that is exactly why they are truly OOAK beads. I am selling them individually for $8 (Includes shipping) and they look very, very authentic.  I am also stocking single core Murano lampwork beads.  They are more expensive beads because their quality is so much better than the double cored beads.  I have been incorporating them into my bracelets, necklaces and bead sets, and that is why you have seen a small increase in my pricing. 

Also new to the shop are basketball wives mesh beads. I have them in every color now, and they add some really nice texture and interest to the lampwork beads.  I am still debating if I will sell them as an item, it depends on how many of you request that.  So, if you want to purchase just the mesh beads send me an Etsy mail and if enough of you request them I will make some listings up.
I am now looking into becoming an official Pugster dealer.  If you've visited my shop in the last few months you have probably noticed that I have begun stocking authentic Pugster beads.  I think Pugster has amazing quality - so much better than the typical Tibetan/Bali silver beads.  And the detail in their theme beads is amazing!  They also have a huge selection, and are always adding new beads to their collection.

NEW ITEMS AND THANK YOUS!!

Hi there! It's been awhile - the shop's been keeping me very busy.  I want to say thank you to all my customers, and especially to those of you who keep coming back to shop or say hi.  I am deeply grateful to you all, and for your support in these tough and uncertain economic times.  I am trying to keep my prices as low as I can so I can make a tiny profit and you can gain some savings, but it keeps getting harder and harder to do. 

I also want to show my gratitude to my fellow Etsian's who thought to include me in their treasuries. These days I am so busy there just isn't time for making treasuries any more, so when I see that someone has included me in theirs I muchly appreciate it!!  And to show my thanks, periodically I list those treasuries and links to them, and if you have some time I would sincerely appreciate it if you could click on a few of them and maybe leave a comment that you read about the treasury on my blog or fave the treasury or an item in it.  Looking at these treasuries is also a great way to find gifts for those hard to gift people in your life!  There are some truly awesome shops with fabulous items on Etsy - I do alot of gift shopping there myself.

So, here they are - and again my gratitude goes out to the Etsian's who took the time to put together these awesome collections! - Sweet & Juicy Colour by Kristin Maillard , Tick Tock, Tick Tock by Jaclyn Miller , Limey Blimey Blue! by Jocelyn Cube , Waking up. by Yelena Turetsky Merener , Post Your top Listings by Nadin Sandler, by Kara Nina , Sunrise - Sunset ☆ ★ (APChallenge#18) by Jeanne and by Kara Nina . Thank you all for treasuring me!!!

So here's a few of the latest new items I've added to the shop, and don't forget the Clearance Sale!!!! I've marked down over 600 items by 25% - coupon holders, now's the time to check out the shop section titled Clearance Sale!!! Time to take advantage and save big bucks!  Buy ahead now for those up and coming gifting events - graduation, anniversary, bridal, birthday, hostess gifts, even Christmas!  And speaking of Christmas, in July I will be starting another clearance sale on Cristmas themed items still in stock for the entire month!!!

MEMORIAL DAY





Today is the day America sets aside to honor American military personnel who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained from combat.  We owe a huge debt to those special  men and women who gave their lives so we could remain a free and sovereign nation, and a democratic society. 

So for today, please remember to thank these people in your prayers and also take some time to reflect on and honor their ultimate sacrifice. 

 If you have a flag, remember to fly it at half mast from dawn until noon only, then raise it to the top.  The half-staff position remembers the more than one million men and women who gave their lives in service of their country. At noon their memory is raised by the living, who resolve not to let their sacrifice be in vain, but to rise up in their stead and continue the fight for liberty and justice for all.
