After stuffing yourself silly with turkey and cranberries, it’s definitely time for a day-long shopping trip. After all, that is the new American tradition.

How about shopping locally instead of hitting the big box stores? Market Day’s Black Friday sale is from 9-2 on Friday, November 25. I’ll be there and I’m going to have a couple crazy sales.

All dishes are 50% off. And most are already a crazy low price because they are last season’s pieces. So snag a handpainted decorative plate or a mug for $5 or less.

My new wallets will be on sale for $25. Normally these are $35. $10 off is a STEAL for these. If you haven’t seen these awesome new wallets, they’ve got hidden magnetic snap closures and dividers with card slots. I may have kept the middle one (below) for myself. I’ve been LOVING this wallet and have gotten a ton of compliments on it since I started using it.

I’ll also have a couple of random things on super-duper sale. These are my old wallets, old teeny-tiny wallets (I changed the size) and a few miscellaneous items.

Come on down and check it out. This event is going to be chock full of awesome vendors!

I am so going to sound like a used car salesman, but EVERYTHING MUST GO!

Okay, maybe not that annoying. But still — 40-60% off everything in the store.

I’m doing this for a few reasons.

1) I am moving. And I would like to deplete my inventory before I do so.
2) I am creating my spring 2011 line of dishes and want all of last year’s line gone
3) I am going to revamp my etsy store with new photography and package things all fancy and fabulous

So check it out. Oh also, free domestic shipping with the code “FREEBIRD”.

Teacup and Saucer $8

Birdies and coffee mug $5

Musical Flowers Plate $10

I’ve not been creating anything fabulous and new lately. And that’s because my etsy store has been pretty well stocked and I don’t have room for anything else in my apartment.

SO … I’m having a January Blowout Sale!

For my retail shop (www.chimes.etsy.com) use the code JANUARYBLOWOUT to receive 30% off any item in the store.

I have a couple of things listed at 50% off in my wholesale shop — my little birdies bowls and little birdies plates. Both are normally priced $35 for 5 bowls or plates (one bowl/plate is $10 on its own) but they’re $17 for 5 now.

Spread the word! And happy etsy-ing!

I don’t know why, but the term “cyber Monday” kind of gives me the willies. Sounds kind of dirty.

Regardless, I have some good sales going on! Check them out HERE. 10% off coupon and a couple items marked $15-20 off!

AND check it out, I’m featured on The Hipster Housewife today with some of my adorable custom cups and saucers.

I HAVE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

As of today, I will no longer be crafting anything (to sell) except my handpainted vintage ceramics.  I will still be taking commissions for other items — such as wallets, camera cases, greeting cards, t-shirts and quilts —  however, I will no longer be producing them on a regular basis.

What does that mean for you lovely people in Des Moines? It means that you have TWO more chances to obtain my fantastic wallets and camera cases. I’m selling today (RIGHT NOW actually) at Market Day from 9-2 and next Saturday at Craft Saturday from noon-6.

It also means that not only do you have two chances to get these things, but I am selling my camera cases at a reduced price — 2 for $10 or $7 each! Camera cases make fabulous stocking stuffers, and the holidays are less than 2 months away.

Anyway — sorry for the shameless plug, but I wanted to let you know that I’ll be focusing on dishware from here on out and that the rest of my lovelies have to sell like hotcakes.

I’ve decided to drastically reduce the price of my Butterflies in Wonderland quilt on etsy.  This quilt is made from a now-discontinued line of fabric (my absolute FAVORITE) by momo from Moda.  The machine quilting is done in a contrasting yellow stitching and is in a butterfly pattern — which, when seen as a whole, turns into a centered flower pattern.

Original price: $300
Sale Price: $85

It’s almost killing me to do this — I love this quilt so much, but I’m moving soon and need some of my items to go.  I love this quilt and it’s hard to get rid of it, but it’s just got to go!
