Blowout Sale!!

Who doesn't love a sale? And I've got one for you - I've been putting a ton of items in my "sale" section of my store. Loads of left-over Christmas goodies, as well as styles that I just have too many of! Check it out before they're gone!

Sale!!!

 For the next two days (Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th), all purchases from my etsy store are 25% off! Whoo-hoo! Just enter the code: Twinkle at checkout.

"Hannah" bows

"Darling" bow

It's a SALE!!

I've been putting off adding any posts on top of the adorable picures of little girls in tutus. Sigh, bloggy life must go on. =)

I'm trying to make some space, so I will be listing quite a few things on etsy at a discount. Only what's listed is on sale, so when it's gone, it's gone. Right now there's a bunch of Elena bows up.

Boy, I'm feeling really boring tonigh, so I think I'll quit typing...

Love those Princesses!

If your little girl is anything like mine, you have a lot of "princess-y" stuff hanging around! Disney really hit a good thing making the "Princesses" into their own little cult - talk about marketing genious! =) We're planning a trip to Disney this spring, so I've been looking into adding more "Princess" to Diana's collection. Here's something I'm excited to offer to you:

These are darling little clay figures that can be added to your bows! They are made by a very talented etsy artisan. They will need to be ordered, so please allow 2 weeks for me to order and make the bow. As soon as I get mine, I'll post some pictures of them on a bow!

Hearts for Haiti

My first donation is up! Check it out here! Hopefully it won't be there long! =) I have some of Le Centre Lumiere crocheted bags donated as well, that should be up soon. In order to make them "made by me" I added button embellishments. Here's what I did:

I think people will really go for these, since they were even made in Haiti! They'll be helping twice! How cool is that?

Help for Haiti

Some of you may know, Haiti has a special place in my heart. I've been there three times, and my parents go at least once a year. We have special relationships with many of the missionaries in the city of Les Cayes, and all over the country. So, the earthquake that hit Haiti really touched me. And to make it even more personal - my parents are there right now. We thank God they are safe and well cared for, and praise Him for the e-mail connection we have been able to have. Please pray for the people of Haiti - there are no words to describe the devastation this has caused the entire country. For more info on my family, and a few poignent news articles, see our family blog: http://www.all4diana.blogspot.com/

There's something else you can do, besides prayer (keep that first, though - Haiti is a country in need of God's angels' protection!!) - donate! Here's an etsy site set up to help with that: Hearts For Haiti. I will be donating an item soon, and will let you know when I see it listed. I'm not sure what it will be yet; maybe something not "bow" related!

January Newsletter

The January newsletter is out! If you didn't get one, and would like to be on the list, send me an e-mail at: deannms3 (at) gmail (dot) com. There's a great special going on! Which reminds me - I did make a slight adjustment to my "special of the month" program. Now, the special is only available to those who are on my e-mail list. So, if you want to be included - just sign up!

I'm getting ready to do some new listings on etsy tonight! Time to gear up for Valentine's Day! Yes, already!!

There should be quite a few new etsy listings and blog postings appearing this month, with new products and styles. I have so many ideas swirling around in my head! I can't wait for the kids to get back to school, hubby back to work (well, I wouldn't mind if he stuck around) =) get the house back in order, and then it's PROJECT TIME!! Yay for winter days, stuck inside with no gardening, camping, or canning! I really am a summer person, so at least I have something I can like about winter! =)

Just a Quick Reminder

Hey! Just a quick reminder:

My "Freebie" give-away is still going on. If you have a blog, make a post about my bows, include a link to my blog or website, and let me know! Feel free to borrow some pics from the website or blog.

August Special - FREE SHIPPING!!

The August newsletter is in the works, but here's a quick heads-up:

The Special of the Month is free shipping!! All orders over $15, online or e-mail, will have free shipping! I'm hoping to get some fresh listings up, too, so keep checking back!

Another Amazing Etsy Artisan

I just found another amazingly talented etsy artisan, and had to share it with you. This lady makes gorgeous hair pieces for ladies. Isn't this just so pretty?

It's just so lovely to look at, like eating a rich dessert! And her site is filled with even more. Check it out here: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6048800

Lovely Etsy Find!

One of my favorite passtimes is browsing etsy, the website where I sell bows. There are so many talented, artistic, creative people out there! Here's one I found recently:

I hope the next time you need a lovely, one-of-a-kind, creative gift, you'll look on etsy!

I'm in a Treasure Box!

One of my items was selected by a fellow etsian to be in her "treasury"! See it here:

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=30643

Wow! It's a very nice compliment! It's hard to get a treasury list to begin with, and then for that person to select one of my items, among the bajillions (I miss you everytime I say that, Melisa!) out there - wow!

New Year's Day Showcase

I have another "showcase" lined up on etsy today. Follow this link if you're interested in playing the "spot her item" game! =)

http://www.etsy.com/showcase.php?showcase_id=children

This is just a special place where sellers can get some visibility for their shops. One of my items at a time will be in the showcase, and when that item sells, the next takes it's place. I thought a lot about which items and in what order to put them in, so we'll see...

Happy '09 to you all!!

Great new listings!

Yesterday I updated my etsy account with some great specialty items! I plan to do a lot more listing in the days ahead. Check it out - I think there's some cute things over there!

Here's one of the Christmas items I'm working on. I have these in this black, silver, brown, blue and red - and a purple poinsettia.

Etsy Showcase Day

Here it is! This is the day I've reserved a slot on the etsy children's category "showcase". Here's the link to check it out:

http://www.etsy.com/showcase.php?showcase_id=children

I've already had two sales!

New etsy listings

I just updated my etsy site with lots of new fall things! I also signed up for a "showcase" slot, which means on a certain day, some of my items will be featured on the front page of whichever section is signed up for. I signed up for October 5th on the children's page. I'm excited to see what happens! So, be sure you check out the etsy site in a couple weeks (next Sunday was already full)!
