blog feature, blog special

The feature about me is up. Thanks again so much, Linda! Please check it out here: http://linorstorecom.blogspot.com/ .

Here is my blog readers offer that I was talking about earlier. I have made six Christmas bracelets this season. Four of them have been listed on Etsy since mid-late November. I just made the other two this past weekend. I know that's kind of crazy because we're way past time to list Christmas items on Etsy for this year. But now that Christmas is so close, I'm pretty excited about it and I couldn't resist haha. The deal is: I'm offering 20% off on any of the Christmas items to my blog readers only. ALSO, if you buy a Christmas bracelet and any other item from my Etsy shop, I will give the same 20% off for the Christmas item and free shipping on the entire order.

Here are pictures of all of the items available. I have listed the adjusted prices. I have linked all of the posted items to their Etsy pages. If you are interested in one of the non-posted items, please send me a message and I will list it as a reserved item for you.

Christmas right angle bangle - $25.60

Christmas button charm bracelet - $16.00

Christmas right angle bracelet - $32.00

Christmas button bracelet - $12.00

another Christmas right angle bangle - $25.60

skinny Christmas right angle bracelet - $12.80

Please let me know if you have any questions! :)

chain links, another Christmas bracelet, and a resolved frustration

I made one more Christmas bracelet over the Thanksgiving weekend. I think that this will be the last one for this Christmas season although that could always change.

I finished another chain links bracelet actually right before Thanksgiving. This is the third one I've made. I haven't posted pictures of any of them yet so here they all are. The first and third ones are listed on Etsy. The second one is one that I made for myself, but would be more than willing to make someone similar to for others. I thought that these bracelets might feel bulky and awkward, but after wearing mine for over a month now, I have to say that it's really not. It's extremely light and if it fits right, you will barely notice that it's there.



I made a peyote stitch bracelet with detail work earlier this fall. I loved the color combination, but it was too heavy. The loop and toggle kept pulling even after I'd reworked them a couple times. I let it sit for a while because I didn't know what I wanted to do with it and couldn't bare to scrap the idea altogether. This past week I finally figured out what I wanted to do and put it together over the last couple days. I am SO HAPPY with the result. It has the same color effect that I was originally going for and fits me perfectly. It's a right angle weave bangle now and is honestly the first one I've made that really fits me well. I will post a picture of it as soon as I've gotten around to taking one.

Also, in other good news, my mom bought one of my button charm bracelets to give to someone as a thank you present. I'm going to ship it off to her on Monday. :)

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that you are enjoying the rest of the long weekend. I have been having a good time with family thus far. I've had the opportunity to share a lot of my jewelry pieces in person, which has been nice. People are great about giving me feedback through my pictures online, but it's different in person. It's been nice seeing the reactions in person. I'm also planning to give bracelets to my mom, mother-in-law, and little sister-in-law, and I have a much better idea what I will be giving now and what sizes I will need to make everything.

I was accepted into the Etsybeadweavers' Street Team (EBW) today! I have been admiring their work ever since I found out about Etsy back in July, and am very excited to be a member now. You can check out the EBW on blogspot: http://www.etsy-beadweavers.blogspot.com/ (my name is not under the members list there yet...hopefully it will be soon) and on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/groups/etsybeadweavers/ . You can also find EBW pieces on Etsy by searching for "ebw" or "ebw team" under the handmade items section.

I already posted about my Christmas charm bracelet. Here are pictures of the other Christmas bracelets that I have made thus far:

This one does not have to be worn at Christmas time, but I think the colors are fitting for the holiday:
