turkey day is over and we're gearing up for the christmas holiday at my house!

did you start your holiday shopping? looking for one more gift? looking for all your gifts?

real life....{holiday plans...}

the holiday season is upon us!

this phrase keeps running through my head....i'm not sure if i'm hearing it as a joyous announcement or a cry for help but there it is.

just kidding! seriously, this time of year is usually a big 'ol bundle of stress for me but this year i'm surprisingly calm. despite the fact that i've yet to do the grocery shopping for the 10 guests who will descend upon our house in two days. and despite the fact that a big announcement i'd been hoping to make probably will not be forthcoming. and despite the fact that the value of the items on little man's christmas list has increased exponentially....

despite it all. should i be concerned? i'm pretty sure my husband is thinking that this is the calm before the storm (by the way, hubby's link will bring you to his new blog - good stuff, must read!)

but ya know what? it's all good. and that is TRULY a God-thing cuz I am typically the queen of stress. how awesome is that?

now, that's not to say that i'm not busy and maybe slightly behind in preparations (as noted above) and promotions and cleaning, etc. so this will be a short post.

before i go, be aware the i will be participating in the "black friday/cyber monday" events - and no, that doesn't mean i'll be standing in line in the dark at some big store (though lets not rule that out - like i said, i'm a bit behind so i have no idea what i might need to buy!)

what i mean is i will be having a sale! 20% off everything in my etsy artisan shop AND in my bonhomie charms shop! details will follow in my "black friday" post.

and make sure you stop by here on thanksgiving day, if only for a hot minute, cuz i'll have a special surprise for you :-)

so, what are your holiday plans?

Bonhomie Jewelry featured in “Tots to Teens” magazine!!

woo hoo!! my first magazine feature:

 

and only a short time left to take advantage of the 15% discount at my etsy shop! head on over to gussy sews to get your code!

just a quick reminder.........

head on over to gussysews to get your 15% discount code for my etsy shop! the code is valid only through dec 4th so act quick!

(but you don't think that's the last of the holiday deals, do you? come dec 5th, i'll be announcing a new one!)

oh yeah. forgot to mention that i've been doing some thinking.....i've had ornaments on my mind. perhaps personalized ornaments? maybe in copper? hopefully i can translate my vision to reality and in time enough for them to still be relevant ;-)

what do you think? good idea?

new goodies…….

i really love the silver pebble & pearl necklace (i wear mine everyday!) so i decided to make one for my sister…..

and i did a new charm: a distressed petite initial circle. i’m considering offering this one for sale on etsy instead of the charms website – i’d like to see the response and i’m having a hard time generating traffic to the website. anyone care to share some tips??

speaking of etsy, the new etsyonsale app was AWESOME over the holiday weekend! but…..as of 5pm on tuesday, everything is still stuck on sale. i’ve sent an email and posted on the forum so hopefully it will be resolved soon. i certainly don’t plan on shutting my shop down because of a software glitch, especially during the holiday shopping season so some of you may end up with some awesome deals because i’m offering another discount (nope, i’m not crazy. okay, well i am a little bit) ………

but you’ll have to head on over to gussysews to see how to take advantage of it!

cyber monday!

it’s cyber monday and i really think it should be declared a holiday :-p today is the last day to save 20% on my artisan jewelry and custom charm necklaces! well, technically it’s not the last day……due to a scheduling snafu (mine!), my sale prices weren’t available in my etsy shop from midnight to approximately 8:30 this morning soooooooo…..

i’m extending the sale until 8am tomorrow morning! that’s for both shops.

and coming up this week: christmas decor (yay!), new pieces and some of my holiday ideas.

so how are you spending your cyber monday? shopping? working? both?

black friday is here!

early (very early!) this morning, i braved the cold and the rain and the crowds to join the black friday shoppers. i got a great deal. and i never want to do that again!

save yourself some stress and shop my black friday through cyber monday sales! prices have already been reduced in my etsy shop to reflect the “friends and family 20% discount”. any purchase made from my bonhomie charms site will automatically receive the 20% discount refunded to them via paypal.

i hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving and i wish you all happy shopping ;-)

come back and tell me about the best black friday/cyber monday deal you ended up with!

new listing!

my newest spinner ring! a petite silver band with copper – love this! perfect for guys and gals. at least i think so! i have a few other new pieces in the works but unfortunately, i don’t think they’ll make it to the shop before the holiday. but here’s what’s cool: hubby designed three of the pieces!! yay! i love family collaboration ;-)

and speaking of family collaboration, my niece is helping me out with some online marketing – it’s a family affair! super cool! i am so thankful for my family – they’re so supportive and many of their lives are grounded in Christ. huge help to me when i’m feeling weak. and when am i not?

okay, i’m doing the family dinner thing for Thanksgiving, cooking for eight people, so i may not get back before the holiday. don’t forget the black friday thru cyber monday sale – everybody gets the “friends and family" discount (20%!!) and after that, i’ll announce my plans for additional holiday deals.

so what are your plans for Thanksgiving? and what are you thankful for?

mark you calendars for a sale!

hey, all! i’m having a really difficult time accepting the fact that Thanksgiving is only one.week.away. that’s next week. holy moly. that also means that black friday – and cyber monday – are also fast approaching. to……ummm….celebrate (??), i’ve decided to offer all my customers my “friends & family” discount! friday 11/26 thru monday 11/29, take 20% off* all items in my etsy shop and on my bonhomie charms site. get busy on that holiday shopping!!

*all items in the etsy shop will show the sale price; purchases made on the bonhomie charms site will be made at full price and the discounted amount refunded via paypal.

i also need you to mark your calendars for order deadlines. Monday, December 13th is the last day to order for guaranteed Christmas delivery!

i know i was pretty scarce last weekend and this weekend coming up won’t be any different. i’m hugely excited because i’ll be attending my first women of faith conference: over the top!  my soul is in desperate need of uplifting which can only come from fellowship with other christian women and basking in the word and truth of God. i know that this will be an amazing experience and i’m sure it will become an annual event for me.

how do you nourish your soul?

New website progress....

So, I mentioned that I'm working on a new design of my Bonhomie Charms website as well as new designs for my charms. Here's my progress - difficult to compare because I can't show you the 'product page' - I need to make the charms so I can take the pictures (!!!) - but how do you feel about the overall design? I wanted something cleaner, a bit more sophisticated but still kinda funky, ya know??
