Get Teased! -- September's Triskaidekaphobian Tease

Apologies for the lateness! If you want to be sure you get the Tease on time, the best bet is to sign up for my mailing list -- as the newsletter seems to be a bit more prompt than blogging. :)

Convo or email me with the correct answer to this question and get 13% off any one item in my shop for the remainder of the month! :) Combinable with the new promotion wherein if you buy more than one piece from the same line, you will get 10% off -- that's 23% off!

So September comes from originally being the seventh month of the year -- hence "Sept". Seven is often considered to be a highly lucky number, so let's talk about luck!

To win this month's Tease, name SEVEN luck charms, either good or bad. Here's the catch: All seven must be of the same type of luck, no mixing allowed.

August newsletter is out! :D

I have wrangled my e-mail HTML, and figured out both how to make it look the way I want and how to send to my mailing list discreetly. Woo woo!

Check out the newsletter here, if you like -- it's also on my webpage proper!

Want to keep updated on my releases, upcoming shop lines and promotions? Feel free to drop me an e-mail to be added to the mailing list. Strictly opt-in and I promise I will only spam you once per month or so. :D

Uh oh, are you supposed to be on my mailing list but haven't received anything? Please write and let me know so I can double check and make sure I have you on my VIP. Cheers!

Here There Be Dragons...

I'm pleased to announce that my new line of jewellery, "Wyrm Regards" (as named by the lovely Mermaiden) is polished, cleaned and ready to find new nests. :)



Dragons, were-cats and sea monsters... curious yet?

Coming soon: Wee Sandy Seascapes! Resin, shells, pearls and coral in sterling silver cups. A perfect way to keep summer beach time with you all year round.

August. August. Say it quickly and it sounds almost like "A gust". A gust of wind, maybe? So let's talk about wind.

Did you know that the modern device for measuring wind is called an anemometer, after the Greek "Anemoi"?

Name six Greek wind deities to win this month's Tease. :D

Monday Bloggin': Busy as a...

Been hermited inside my shop for a while now, but the end result should be worth it. :) At least ten new items from the "Wyrm Regards" line coming at the end of this week -- keep your eyes peeled! :D

A very happy birthday to my favorite siren :D

Maggie and Milly and Molly and May

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

-e.e. cummings

Happy birthday, Mermaiden. I hope it is filled with shells and good dark beer. :D

Eyeball contest winner!

First, happy Independence day to my American readers! May it be full of all-beef hot dogs, BBQed corn on the cob and fireworks that don't light your eyebrows on fire.

Second, I'd like to announce the winner of last month's "Name That Eyeball" contest: Mermaiden, with her suggestion of "Wyrm Regards". :D Thanks to everyone who made suggestions! I chose that one because it makes me giggle every time I see it.

Mermaiden will have her choice of ANY of the new eyeball jewellery that will be coming to my shop by the end of this month. Yay!
