My shop is on vacation but I am not so I can prepare for this show and get our house on the market, its been quite the juggling act. My Etsy shop will reopen on June 13th and I will finally have all of my enamel choices that can be made to order in the shop. I will also have a 10% off sale and free domestic shipping for a few days, so if you can't make it to the Bead and Button show you won't feel left out.

Lampwork Glass Sale 20% Off and Giveaway

I have a 20% off sale in the shop this week on all of my glass lampwork, yes that includes glass headpins, but no enamel.

Since it's just the Lampwork on sale there is no coupon code.

 I will figure out your discount and refund the amount via what ever payment method you used.

 Based on feedback I have received from customers as well as a personal need for a change, I am eager to get some new Lampwork in the shop. When I look at my glass offerings at shows it looks confusing, most of my sets are random and I feel the need to put a little more thought into what glass sets I offer. Make it easier for my customers to visualize what they can do with a set of beads. 

Now I just need to add more hours to my day, there is so much going on my head is spinning.

It's way overdue for a 

GIVEAWAY 

You know how this works, leave a comment in the comment section to get one chance at the giveaway. If you have an opinion regarding what kind of Lampwork glass sets would be most useful for you in your jewelry designs let me know. If you have no opinion any comment will do.

I don't have photos of the giveaway yet but it will be a mixed bag of glass and enamel. I acquire quite a few single enamel pieces when I am making my pairs so it would be a good chance to get a variety of my enamel pieces. I will probably have at least two winners, maybe more it depends on my stash.

If you link to this blog post on your blog, facebook, or twitter that will get you another chance to win.

 Just leave me another comment that you linked to this post.

I will pick the winners on Sunday, March 23rd and the 20% off sale will end that same Sunday at midnight.

Have fun and I will be back later in the week with photos of the giveaway.

Berks Bead Bazaar this weekend

Heading to Reading, PA tomorrow to exhibit at Berks Bead Bazaar this weekend.

Everyone is freaking out a little about the weather, but from what I can see so far the wintry mix is not happening until Sunday night. Which means I will be heading out of town right after the show, snow does not scare me I have lived somewhere in Upstate New York all my life so four wheel drive and snow tires are mandatory. But ice is another story, and I don't want to get stuck in a hotel room for a couple days, way too much work to do.

Please come and visit if you are a reasonable driving distance and say hi. I am really looking forward to seeing some of my fellow artists, there are a lot of handmade unique items at this show.
