Designs by Debi Online Holiday Trunk Show

If you love giving meaningful gifts to loved ones at the holidays, you really need to check out the Artisans Open Market page on Facebook. It was started by my friend Nikki Rogalski of Bastille Bleu Lampwork and so far has been a huge hit! 

It's an online Open Market for artisans of handcrafted glass, jewelry and metal arts/jewelry to share and sell their wares with those who appreciate, search for, and purchase unique handcrafted items; making it easy for you to buy, sell, and give the gift of handmade!

There are shows scheduled every day through December 23rd and, after a short break for Christmas, they will resume on the 26th. It has been going so well that Nikki is planning to continue scheduling weekend shows after the holidays and, if things continue to thrive, more dates will open up and quite likely more varieties of handcrafts will be showcased, too.

I'm hosting my Trunk Show there this weekend... from Small Business Saturday 11/24 until Cyber Monday at 11pm. I have over 150 items in my show!! I'm running it in an auction format so there are Buy Now and Starting Bid prices listed. The starting bid prices are at least 50% off retail so you can get great deals on beautiful gifts.

I'm planning a huge relocation in 2013 and I have to do inventory reduction so I decided to do it now and save you money on your holiday shopping! I hope you'll stop by and please share the event with your friends and family. Thank you!

Happy Holidays!

Bunch of Stuff ~ ArtFire Changes, A Sale and My Hibiscus :)

Hello!

Hope you're all enjoying the summer. I've got a few things for you today......

First of all...ArtFire....OMG ArtFire!! They launched a complete overaul/design change this week and there have been alot more glitches than expected so a great many thing are NOT going according to plan! They're working on issues as users tell them about them. I just want to warn you that there are also alot of broken links because of the changes they made. I'm so sorry for the aggravation! I didn't realize they were completely changing everything so I wasn't prepared. If you try to purchase or order something and you have any problems at all, please contact me and I'll take care of you. I'm working on the shopping cart for the website, but unfortunately it's not ready to go live just yet. Thank you for your patience!

Unfortunately this mess happened right as I started another sale! I threw out a pop challenge on Facebook and thanks to the 38 people who participated, I'm doing an August Bonus Sale!! From August 7th - 31st enter the code AUGUSTBONUS20 at checkout to receive 20% off your order. Jewelry for Charity Pieces and Gift Certificates are not included in this offer. However, custom designs are AND you can use the code as often as you want until August 31st. So if you missed out on the last sale, you've got another chance to save big on some really special gifts for the holidays..and taking advantage of the layaway plan will help you even more!

On a lighter note, so we can all de-stress.....Isn't this beautiful?......

That's my hibiscus out on the deck. Niko gets me one for my birthday every year...with a little help from his grandparents :) and I just love it. The hibiscus is my favorite flower so it's always a very special gift...one that I get to enjoy all summer...so I thought I'd share it with you!

Take care until next time!
