Emergency!

Well, ok, not quite an emergency, but a small, mini mental money crisis. My best girl Josephine (how can you resist that face?) has broken a tooth, the little stinker, and it is costing oh so very much to fix! I have money set aside for vet emergencies, but this is wiping it clean and I had to do some last minute fancy banking in order to be able to pay the bill later today. If you'd like to lend a hand, or would just like a good deal, then I have the answer my friend! I'm having a sale in my jewelry shop right now - use the coupon code "RUHROH" (without quotation marks) at checkout to get 25% off your whole (honeywild) purchase!

I'm not able to offer a discount in my vintage shop, but if you make a purchase there and mention the code "RUHROH" in the notes to seller I'll send you a wish bracelet as a bonus/thank you!  If you feel inclined to share this post, or re-tweet my sale tweet, my little family would really appreciate it! I'm also adding a Paypal donation button to the right >>> if you'd like to send 2 bits our way :)

Lately

 

Life has been so hectic lately I've been away from here longer than planned! Along with friends moving away and work stuff, I've been busy preparing for the Nifty for Fifty sale that happened this past Sunday (pictured above) and my upcoming trip. Oh yeah! I am leaving on Friday for two weeks in Istanbul and Amsterdam! Eeks! So very excited. I got travel books from the library on both places and haven't even looked at them yet - Ben left them in the middle of the stairs tonight in hopes that I might look at them when I tripped, haha. So this is brief as I'm in dire need of sleep (I'm writing this at 10:33pm Tues :) ). The honeywild shop will be closed in a day or two and will re-open upon my return. The tender buttons vintage shop will be populated with some treasures when I get back as well. Until then you can find these beauties at Dream!

Shop Update

Just wanted to let you know I've been listing a bunch of items from this winter that I didn't have the chance to get online before. These two pairs of earrings are some of my favourites! There's more to come too, keep an eye out. Shop here, as always.

Lost Treasures

a couple of yesterday's finds

I'm considering opening a vintage shop on Etsy. I think it will be little things for the most part. Little china dishes, jewelry, photos...

I'm thinking about the name Tender Buttons Vintage. I'm in love with the name Haven but it's taken (and as a vintage shop) so that's out. I love the phrase tender buttons - it's the title of a seriously different book (collection of poems? hard to describe!) by Gertrude Stein. I also think it would fit nicely as a name for a vintage shop. Thoughts/opinions on the name? I was also thinking of the name Bright Star Vintage, or Wild Eyes Vintage. I'd love to hear your input and any other ideas you may have!

New Items

These are a few of my favourite things. I love the brushed silver rings in these earrings and have a bit of an obsession with gold-tinted Swarovski crystals like these fabulous ones.

This is my favourite of this style of bracelet that I've made so far. It's like strawberries & cream ice cream and ice. It's feminine without being too girly or in your face.

I hope you also caught the sale notice in my last post. Many of the items currently in the shop have been discounted.

Grab something new and shiny to brighten up your summer outfits!

Update - a sale and broken hands

So, I haven't updated you on my hands! Sorry. I had a few posts scheduled and I took the weekend off from the computer. Mostly because using them makes my hands want to die! Pretty lame. The x-ray and blood test (oh yay, love those!) results came back with nothing, so it's probably just nasty tendonitis! Friday I had been busy editing photos and listing items and other things online and by the evening the saddle joints (thumbs) were BURNING. So I iced my hands for the rest of the night, and have been off and on since then. I am now because just fixing a few photos and listing a few items is bothering them. It's really frustrating. Other than taking advil and icing my hands all I can do is try not to use my hands too much to do things like text, use my laptop and other fine handwork, like make jewelry. So, you know, just refrain from doing the things which generally take up most of my time. I didn't know what to do with myself all weekend! Haha. I did make some jewelry, trying not to do anything that aggravated my hands. If I get photos taken there should be a gorgeous sparkly new bracelet in the shop soon.

Ok, onto better topics! Like a sale! Who doesn't love a sale? Many of the items in my shop have been discounted. The details are in each individual listing, and sale items are marked with "SUMMER SALE" in the title. Pretty simple! Go wild!

Let's Flip This Week!

So it's my birthday on Saturday and I was just getting excited about my birthday week yesterday (my grandpa always told me to celebrate the whole week) when it turned slightly disastrous. Penny necessitated an expensive vet trip last night, and as if that wasn't enough, the hard drive on my beloved Macbook died and I hadn't backed it up! Pretty lame!! But I want to turn this week upside down (or right side up?) so you can use the coupon code "party20" at checkout in my Etsy shop to get %20 off your purchase until the end of Sunday! I could use the extra money, evidently, and it's always a great feeling when someone purchases one of my items. You could also wish me happy birthday, if you like :)

I hope you'll share this coupon code! You could tweet "Help celebrate @_honeywild_ 's bday by using the code "party20" at checkout from her shop http://etsy.me/msVRx3 for %20 off your purchase!" and I would be super appreciative!
XO.
