Black Friday may be over but the sale here is still on now through the end of November at SignatureSterling. In fact, if you're willing to wait and gamble that those earrings you've been eyeing or that necklace you really want will still be there, each day you wait, your discount grows.

Here's how it works. Today is November 27th so your discount off all items (except custom items - "Heirlooms to Order," "Buckeye Nation" or "Custom") would be 27%. On Monday, the 28th, (if what you want is still there...) the discount would be 28%.

Discounts may apply to multiple items. The only restriction is that you can not use this discount on custom order items. And once we reach midnight on November 30th (30%), this sale is over!

So, start browsing & if you don't want to gamble, start shopping now. Use the NOVDAILY coupon when you check out & if it hasn't been updated yet, I'll refund the difference to you via PayPal.

The "Don't Wait til Black Friday Sale"

Why wait for Black Friday when you get what you want at SignatureSterling now through the end of November.  In fact, if you're willing to wait and gamble that those earrings you've been eyeing or that necklace you really want will still be there, each day you wait, your discount grows.  

Here's how it works.  Today is November 18th so your discount off all items (except custom items - "Heirlooms to Order," "Buckeye Nation" or "Custom") would be 18%.  Tomorrow, on the 19th, the discount would be 19%....next Monday, the 28th, (if what you want is still there...) the discount would be 28%.  Get it?

Shipping is the same as outlined in the descriptions.  Discounts may apply to multiple items (woo-hoo!).  The only restriction is that you can not use this discount on custom order items (sorry!).  And once we reach midnight on November 30th (30%), this sale is over!

So, start browsing at SignatureSterling and if you don't want to gamble, start shopping now.  If you'd rather take a risk that your favorites will be there tomorrow or next week, go for it, but remember....once they're gone, they're gone!  Gobble, gobble!

FRIDAY FAVORITES

I've got another collection of Friday Favorites for you today...first up, answers the "age-old" question (hmm....sure!), where does Sue buy her earrings when she doesn't make her own??? I know you were wondering! Well, take a peek ~ yes, I did scoop them up finally after "dreaming of them" for quite a while! These Red Coral Drops are on their way to me right now from Lee at AbeleesHandcrafted. And, no, there aren't anymore for you....BUT

LOOK...you can find these beauties and more wonderful earrings at Lee's shop right now so be sure to stop by and check it out - incredible design and artisanship!

Wandered onto a very cool website a few weeks ago via my blog-hopping. This site will "age" your photos 100-150 years in a matter of seconds, allowing you to then save the newly "antiqued" copy. Why? Not sure - fun, scrapbooking, photo effects....you figure it out. Here's a sample I had some fun with from last summer's vacation. The shot is of a church on Boca Grande, FL:

Voila! Turn of the century Boca Grande!

The website is labs.wanokoto.jp/olds. HINT: when you get to the site, if it is all in Japanese, you can "switch" to English up in the top right hand corner. :-)

Favorite new music this week - have to mention the new U2 album. Find it, listen to it...enjoy! Repeat often. I also discovered a new artist (for me) and have been enjoying her music all week ~ Michelle Featherstone. This is the song that will get me every time:

And...finally, favorite Abby picture of the week is the beginning of her career as a real Buckeye -- titled, "WHO SAID, "Go Blue?"

FRIDAY FAVORITES

It's Friday and I've got a BIG list of favorites to share with you today...

• FIRST....the windows are open and it SMELLS like SPRING!! Woo-hoo!! YAY!!!! Loving this weather :-)
• Guess what arrived this morning to make my day!
  

Yep, it's my very own copy of Alphabet City by Stephanie Chisholm - the "Chiz" - that I raved about in last week's Friday Favorites!!

• I have been a HUGE fan of SOCK MONKEYS ever since my "little" Sarah (now a "mommy" herself) was a premature little sweetheart and her daddy placed one in her hospital nursery 'bed' right after she had been released from the NICU...

• So, I had a great time window shopping and "faving" some great sock monkey finds this week -- take a peek and see what you think! I'm hoping to share some of these soon with my new sweetheart, Abby! :-)

From Shop3pm on Etsy, what could be cuter than this traditional sock monkey doll - oh, it does take me back!!


Any little one would be stylin' with these coveralls from JustKiddn ~ how cute are these!!


At this time of year, who could resist an adorable sock monkey "tip-toeing through the tulips" from Sockmonkeycards?


Hey, if you know babies...you know babies burp and you know that you want to have one of these handy from ClaireandJanae!

And from one of my favorite Etsy artisan friends, how could I resist this special one! Marcy - you've done it again!! :-) Check out her work at StudioMarcy!!

• And, what I think will be new favorites in my Etsy shop (once I get them listed...soon -- probably tonight or tomorrow) :-)

What a Game!

What can I say....yes, we lost. But, watching our Buckeye Seniors in the post-game, you couldn't help but be proud to be a part of "Buckeye Nation" and not be "totally" immersed in the loss. It was not the season we expected, but like a true scarlet and gray fan, I stand behind my OSU team, proud of the "to the last second" plays and as always, saying...."Just wait until next year!" :-)

A guy in a bar leans over to a guy nearby and says, "Wanna hear a good Michigan joke?"

The second guy replies, "Well, before you tell a Michigan joke, you might want to know that I'm a Michigan graduate. I'm 6' 7" and weigh 280 pounds. The guy next to me is 6' 4", weighs 225 and he's a Michigan grad. The one next to him is 6' 5", weighs 315 and he's a Michigan grad. Now, do you still want to tell that joke?"

The first guy says, "Well, heck no — not if I have to explain it three times."

OH-IO!

Our first one ~ and it's not a wimpy, spitting, oh, let me thing about it, maybe I'll just be a flurry snow....it's that beautiful puffy, floating - you're in the middle of a snow globe - snow...I could sit here curled up on the sofa and watch it all afternoon.

GIVEAWAYS ~ How GREAT Is That?!!?

Stop what you are doing RIGHT now ~ well, not right now ~ keep reading...here's some info. on some awesome giveaways - yep, FREE (if, you're the lucky!! winner) GREAT gifts from very talented Etsy friends of mine (so, hey, I KNOW the goodies are great -- I even signed up for the one I was "eligible" for - would sign up for both if I could!!).

First, you should mark EVERY Monday from now until oh, say probably Christmas, I think, because the ABSTEAM (Artisan Beaders Street Team) is sponsoring a terrific giveaway on their blog - with one of our extremely talented members offering the item each week for the lucky winner. All you have to do is check the blog, leave your name and email addy in the comments section for the weekly drawing and "cross your fingers." It's that easy! This week's item are these beautiful "Cocoa Wave" Earrings, created by Vicki of Orion Designs (who, can I just say, is one of my very favorite people ~ as well as being, as you can see, an awesome jewelry designer!). Be sure to get in on this giveaway!

The next special "contest" is a limited time offering by Patty of Happy Goat Soap (I've got an order in right now for some very sweet-smelling bars myself -- great stuff!!). Patty's giveaway is open until midnight on Saturday, November 15th, and all the details are posted on her blog, Broken Tepee. Basically, you get to pick your soap design (lots of neat shapes) and favorite scent and then post it under the contest comment section before the deadline along with your email addy ~ don't forget the "cross your fingers" part ~ and wait for the drawing!

August Afternoons

The August afternoons are quickly slipping away, but that doesn't mean they're not yet to be enjoyed ~ this stretch of warm, sunny weather has been perfect for afternoons on the dock and floating in the pond. Who knows how many more days or weeks I'll have left of such sweetness!? I think the water has been on my mind again as I go to the "designing board"...

Remembering....

Not quite "Caribbean" but as close as I get, and I'll take it! :-) Just found out Sarah and Mike will be heading to the condo as well in a few weeks - a great way to end the summer!

Naturally, all that time on the beach was inspiration for these pieces...
