Getting Ready for Spring!

As most of you know I've been busily preparing for the "release" of my spring line next week. And, boy, have I been busy! I wish I could say everything's squared away and everything's just smooth sailing from here, but there is still much work to be done. As a sort of "farewell" to winter and an ushering in of spring, I'm offering 50% off all silver pieces in my Etsy shop. To me silver has always seemed like a "wintery" sort of metal.

Just shoot me a message on Etsy and I'll adjust the price for you pre-purchase so we don't have to deal with any of those pesky paypal refunds. Sale lasts from now 'til March 12th. And don't forget, my new line will be available March 13th on Etsy.

Happy almost spring everyone! 

Super Sneaky Sale

Yesterday was the last day of my new year sale. . . As part of my new series of blog posts and features, I will be offering some sort of blog exclusive sale every Wednesday. It can only be found here! And guess what I'm offering today? Any purchase from my Etsy shop of up to three pieces will receive a 50% discount. That's right, half off! But it's only for today. Read on for details on how to take advantage of this limited offer. . . 

To make this as easy as possible, simply email me at TangleweedsJewelry@gmail.com. Let me know which pieces you want (remember, up to three) and I'll set up a reserved listing for you on Etsy that reflects your 50% discount. I'd set up a coupon code for this if I could, but so far Etsy coupons don't allow the seller to set very many limits. 

And for all of you, a mini (and messy) workbench tour from yesterday. . . 

Have a lovely rest of your day!
