30 turns into 40

Today I increased my whole-store sale discount to 40%, through May 18.  Coupon code is "MOM40".  This discount applies to everything in my store, including these amazing brand new earrings that I just made the other day.  (Regular price is $65...can be yours for $39!)
There is an Etsy shop event today protesting Etsy's allowance of mass-produced items being sold as handmade.  Although I completely agree that Etsy should maintain it's insistence that items be handmade by the shop owner (except, of course, in the instance of vintage and supplies), I need to be open.

More information about the protest and the reasons behind it can be read here.

New Items on Etsy today!

Today's color is BLUE

Today I posted the above earrings in my Etsy shop. It's all I'm putting up today. In fact, it's all I've put up all week because I haven't been close to my computer all week, at least not for enough time to get online.

Earlier today I dropped off a MASS AMOUNT of earrings and other jewelry to a new shop opening up in Glendale (small town just north of Cincinnati). It's called Glendale Handcraft Gallery. It's a cute spot...small but well-lit in an easy-to-find location. I wish the owner, Jennifer, all the best of luck. It's SO refreshing to see someone opening a NEW business (especially in the arts) when all the news you hear is that the financial sky is falling. My friend Sarah once said I'm "excessively optimistic"....and I am especially that way now, even when uncertainties of my professional future linger. If you live in or around Cincinnati, or will be visiting Glendale soon, please visit the shop and support it if you can. They are aiming to open on Saturday, April 11.

I can't wait til the next over-60 degree day! This spring seems like November!
