Luna's Baublebilities

It is a wild and crazy time for me right now.  Molly's High School production of Pirates of Penzance opens next Friday and I have to have all the costumes ready by Saturday.  (It will be O.K.  I just have to pace myself well.  No long hot baths in the afternoon or eating bon-bons while watching Downton Abbey re-runs.)  Watch for Ruth in act two in a fabby steampunk brocade vest with tails - or maybe just visit me in the asylum opening night.  I just laid out all the pattern pieces last night and am ever so slightly intimidated.

Today I had a lovely customer inquire about my floral bead caps - how many can he get in which colors - that sort of thing.

Oh my dears!  There are so many colors!

I haven't had time to update all of my listings in all of my shops nor have I opened GoblinsMarket.org but that is coming soon.  When it does, you will see that all of my enameled brass findings are available in all of these wonderful colors.

Except that I left out Shimmering Denim.  I don;t have a photo for that yet but it is just what it sounds like, a medium dark denim blue with a subtle shimmer much like shimmery Fuchsia.  Very lovely, don't you know.

Here are ALL The Colors!  (The dark green not labeled in the large rainbow photo is Mossy - it is a wonderful woodsy color.)  Smaller photos for better viewing below.

Sadly, I am fresh out of rose links and large dragonflies right now and will probably be out of floral caps soon.  BUT I will be placing a couple of supply orders very soon and guess what?  Angel  wings are coming back!  (Yaaaay!)























. . . .

Well, Studio Tour was a bit of a bust.  Which is O.K.  I was still feeling pretty worn out on Saturday and had several coughing fits triggered by trying to speak - the few people who did stop in mostly got to hear me cough.

The up side - we got the house clean.  My mom is a hero.  She has got the same miserable virus that I have been fighting off for a week but she came by on Friday to help me get the mess under control.  My studio looked pretty good in spite of obviously being under construction. 

I got lots of scarves dyed last week and my studio is now in working order so production from here on out should be easier and more fulfilling.  I have a tentative wholesale order for Alchemy scarves - once that customer chooses her colors, I will post the remaining ones up in my shop.  I'm still having lots of trouble photographing velvet scarves.  I might actually have to set up a light tent.

Oh - and today starts my Supply Sale.  From today until the end of the month, all supplies in my Goblins Market shop will be 15% off.  Use the coupon code THANKSGIVING SUPPLIES at checkout.  I'll be adding lots of bead kits and mixes during this time frame for those who want to make handmade gifts for Christmas.  I'll even gift wrap your supplies if you request it - I know lots of people who think beads are awesome things to find in your stocking!

One thing I really love about ArtFire is that a shop owner can have a sale or generate coupons with the click of a button.   There's no need to meddle with math to write a PayPal refund or anything and we don't pay commissions on refunded amounts like you do over on Etsy because ArtFire is paid for on a monthly subscription service, not per listing and/or sale.


To celebrate my decision to make the definitive move to ArtFire, I am offering a one time coupon for 10% off any order in my ArtFire shop.  Everything included in the sale!

Yay!
