Labor Day Sale

I'm having a Labor Day sale in my Etsy shop! Now thru 9/8/09, Buy One, get additional purchases for 25% off. Etsy doesn't have a handy sale option, so you have to either purchase the items and I can refund the difference via Paypal, or I can do a special listing.

I've added some new items to prep for the sale.

Caribbe Island Bracelet - pretty shells mixed with bright beads

Swingin' Green & Black - Peridot and Black super long necklace

Groovy Vintage Book "I Want to be a Nurse" from 1957

Stop by my shop and check it out. Have a Happy Labor Day all!!!

Milestones

I hate milestones, especially for birthdays.  After you hit 21 and can drink legally, what's the point?  30, pfft, 40-the over the hill jokes start, 50-you may as well be dead, 60-well, retirement is near, or is it???, 70-glad you're not dead yet...

But, I do have a milestone.  I have 49 sales in my Etsy store.  I like the number 49, it's a nice number, but I'm looking forward to 50.  If you're the 50th sale in my store, you'll receive 50% off any 1 item.  Just buy, pay and once I verify you're number 50 I'll refund you half of the purchase price (not 1/2 off of shipping, it is what it is).  Really easy!  If you're 51 or 52, you'll get 25% off.  

So help me get over this milestone!  Bold jewelry - Vintage Finds

Starting the Long Process

Started the long process of moving the very best vintage from my eBay store over to Etsy.  The process requires photographing every item from a zillion angles and with different settings to get just the right 5 photos to display.  

I really like taking the photos, not so much trying to edit them down.  I am lucky to be in So. Calif. so I don't have to deal with ice and snow while photographing - I feel for my friends in the freeze zones.

My mom and sisters moved to New York several years ago (long story, I won't bore you) and daily I pretty much taunt them with weather updates.  I know, it's awful, but I really miss shopping with my sis and sharing the cute things my kids do with my mom.  Emails and phone calls are just not the same.
