*** Shop News: One day left in the Holiday Sale!! The sale runs through the end of Cyber Monday. ***

I had tons of packing paper that I received with my Rio Grande orders just sitting around, so I decided to cart it off somewhere and shred a bunch of it (I need my own shredder). It is working nicely as filler and cushioning for my packages these days, and I’m using as much recycled and repurposed material as possible in general for packing. I always enjoyed wrapping presents during the holidays and was often conscripted by my family members to do their gifts for them. Needless to say, I’m having a lot of fun with my more elaborate packaging set-up now.

Celebration Sale!

It’s getting close midnight, which means it’s almost time for my birthday sale to start!  Actually, the sale is turning into a general celebration sale to mark not only my birthday, but the incredible new political direction that the United States is taking.  The historic election that took place yesterday is a terrific occassion to add to the list of things to celebrate!

At 12:00am on November 6th, a whole bunch of the best-sellers in my Etsy shop go on sale at 20% off their regular price.  I have several of each item in stock, so they’ll be ready to ship as soon as they’re sold.  Quantities are limited, though.  Once they’re gone, they’re gone, and items will be back in the shop at regular price on the 7th.

Happy Shopping!

Sparkly…

Sparkly…, originally uploaded by antigenre.

Well, the winter holidays are coming, like it or not! I’m going to go shopping today and stock up on some sparkly vintage glass beads to make a few festive items for the shop. It’s never too early to start figuring out what to wear to all those holiday parties!

Something else that is on its way is my birthday, and to celebrate, I’m having a sale! I’ll be offering 20% off some ready-to-ship items. The sale will be in early November, after the presidential election. I figure it will be an ideal time for either celebratory shopping or consolation shopping, depending on your political persuasion. Either way, it will be fun, so check in in the near future for more details!

Copper Rings, originally uploaded by antigenre.

I’ve been meaning to make some more pieces for men but have only now gotten around to it. This is a set of three hammered rings made of heavy 12-gauge copper wire. Check in with AntiGenre on Etsy, because these and some other new items will be up soon.

In other news, thanks to all my wonderful customers, my business has been steadily growing, and I have just recently been fortunate enough to be able to cut back on my hours at my day job.  I’ll be spending a lot more time at my work bench and will be able to concentrate more fully on my jewelry.  Hooray!! I’m really excited about this, and to celebrate, I’ll be having a launch sale in just a few days – I’ll post the deets as soon as I have them!
