Taking a break -- Giving you one too!

There's lots going on. I can hardly decide where to begin!

#1:  Break & Sale!

First, I'll let you know that I'll be taking a bit of a break from the Etsy store soon. In anticipation of that, and because I have quite a few items expiring April 1st and shortly afterward, I'm having a SPECIAL SALE with one of the biggest discounts I've ever offered! 

   

 

A  few of the items about to expire:

• metal components oxidated & patinated
• copper, 
• brass, 
• and sterling silver; 
• polymer clay; 
• jewelry!

  

Coupon code is:   

SPECIAL30

I have a lot of NEW items to load when I return and I'd rather not relist all of these you've already seen.  

So please help yourself to  30% off all items while helping me clean out the current inventory!






#2: Graphics Updates:

Etsy will be reformatting our stores effective 4/5.  As part of that redo, I've created a new banner...

...and icon for my Metapolies™ store on Etsy! 

I'll begin using these graphics for branding else where too, so I hope you like them and continue to associate those colorful dots with my store! (While I've not figured out how to make all the graphic changes I'd like on blogger, I have changed the header font to match at least!)

And soon, I'll update the header on my Metapolies.com website too! (If you want to see the previous banner, it's still there for a little bit longer.)

(Please note:  While I'm happy with my new graphics, the Etsy store layout plans have been controversial to say the least.  If you have comments you would like shared, I hope you will offer them to Etsy or share in a note with me.) 

As always, I thank you for your support of all types!   Best wishes to you all!   ~Sharyl

Thanksgiving Holiday the Easy Way!

Thanksgiving!

Time to feast!

Time for family and friends,

big hugs and long talks, 

hot chocolate, and

pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream!

Don't leave your warm, comfortable home

to get up early,

tromp through bad weather,

and fight crowds to start shopping!

Stay in your pajamas,

sleep in,

and when you are ready,

ONLY when YOU are ready,

consider this...

I even have a special incentive for YOU,

your family, and friends!

Link to
Metapolies™ on Etsy

Enjoy your holiday at home,

where shopping is easy,

and snacks remain handy!

Wishing a Happy Thanksgiving

to all who celebrate!

I'm thankful for each of you!

July Holiday Earring Give-away!

I had a sunrise/sunset scene in mind as I created these brass components,...then as I designed the earrings, I drew my inspiration from a rainbow.

But today, I'm thinking all these colors could also be spectacular fireworks,..   (yes, very quiet ones)!  

Then, finally, I got inspired to celebrate the July 4th holiday by giving these away!   (In the spirit of World Peace, I will send these internationally too, so please join in  the fun if you like!) 

If you would like to signup for this Give-away,...

•  Please leave me a note on the blog in the Comments section.  
• If you are on Facebook, just let me know where to look.  
• If not, please leave me an email address where I can contact you.  
• You may enter 2 messages if you like and I'll keep private the one with your email.  I just need some way to contact the winner.

You can get a 2nd change to win if you share the news with others and tell me where you posted it!


The give-away will be open for your entries through end of day Sunday, 7/5/15.  A  winner will be announced Monday, and will have until Friday, 7/10/15 to reply.

U.S. friends, if you celebrate the July 4th holiday, what are your plans?   We're quite folks, so we'll probably throw a veggie burger on the grill!  :-)
