yes. it’s 5:40am and i haven’t gone to sleep yet.

and there’s actually really no reason for it.

i stayed awake because i always stay awake and in my sleep-deprived mind, trying to FINALLY get the lightbox feature on my website set up and working properly sounded like an absolutely FANTASTIC idea (it’s an add-on for the eCommerce operating system that i use, and it’s so confusing that i’ve avoided it like the PLAGUE for at least, well….since Christmas or so. i have been so scared of it, that i even made it one of my goals for 2011 so that i had to hold myself to it!), and so i followed all of the HORRIBLY easy instructions (“easy”, because i’ve read through them about 50 GAZILLION times already, trying to prepare myself for every little thing that could go wrong during the upload–the worst being a wipe-out of my entire site, which wasn’t entirely impossible to do, but it was highly improbable. try telling that to my worst-case-scenario brain….), and

VOILA!

i have a beautiful, brand new, professional-looking lightbox for my additional product photos. i’m so happy right now that i could cry! :’)
try it out for yourself! click HERE and then click on any product. then click on the main product image and an overlay will pop up so you’ll be able to scroll through each of the additional product images in their zoomed-in state right from there! like this:

just ask Hubbs, who witnessed me squealing like a little girl in a store full of lollipops and my little ponies (that doesn’t date me, does it?). i probably sat with my hand over my mouth, wide-eyed and screeching into my sweatshirt sleeve for like 10 minutes about how i was so speechless that it worked on the first try. i just kept clicking on every product image in my shop, drooling over how simple and awesome it now looked.

 

so: moral of the story?

 

JUST DO IT, ALREADY!

& that’s my motto for next week now. :D

 

what’s yours? have you done anything to surprise yourself, lately?

 

hey guys!

had these little babies sitting out on my desk last week, drying, and i couldn’t just let them sit without taking a photo, so i thought i’d share a bit of the behind the scenes with you.

all of these are in their loving new homes by now, but i just got around to getting them up here too. :)

 

 

have quite a few new things to list this weekend/early next week as well, if i can finish them all, so i’ll probably send the updates in the april newsletter by the end of next week at the latest (have you signed up yet?) :D

hope you’re having a good week!

 

hey everyone!!!! (multiple exclamation points, can you tell i’m excited?! :D)

so remember that thing i said i couldn’t talk about? well, it’s here! :D

i’m being featured on Jasmere.com today! i did a promotion with them last fall that went really well, and i was honored that they asked me back for a second feature.

i realize there are probably quite a few of you that don’t know what Jasmere is, so i thought i’d give you a little information:

according to Jasmere, “[They] seek out lesser-known specialty retailers that deserve national attention. Our small team of New York, Los Angeles and Washington, DC- based shopaholics personally tests every product we feature, using jasmere’s negotiating power to offer you an exclusive discount.”

basically, what that means to you is that you get to purchase a $40 voucher to use in my shop for $20 or less!

let me explain the “or less” part: any time during my feature, you can place your order with Jasmere.com and that guarantees that you are in on the deal. throughout the feature (12PM EST today — Wednesday, March 23rd — until 12PM EST tomorrow – Thursday, March 24th), the more people that order the voucher, the more the price keeps dropping!  they call it “social shopping,” so once you place your order, spread the word! tell your friends and family, post it on your facebook with a link to the feature, and your card won’t be charged until the end of the feature, so that everyone pays the same low price!

i’ve also added a BUNCH of new stuff to the shop to celebrate! :)

so go tell your friends to check out jasmere.com, and get in on this social shopping thing. the more people that buy, the more you will save! :D

sorry for the lack of updates here on the blog….i’ve been really busy filling holiday orders! :)

but i wanted to post a little update quick to let you know that i added some new rings to the shop yesterday (along with 3 new pairs of earrings), and now there are 8 new colors to choose from!

 

remember, the last day to order to receive by the holidays is this Friday, Dec. 10!

also, if you haven’t signed up for the monthly newsletter yet, i’d do it now! i heard a rumor that this month’s is going to be good! ;)

 

just wanted to drop a quick line to those of you reading in a feed reader, because i designed a new WP theme to better match the rest of my sites. :D

so click on over and check it out!

(or if you’re lazy, here’s a screenshot:)

& also wanted to say sorry for the lack of posting lately. been working on some big things! wanna know what they are? click here to sign up for my newsletter and you’ll find out soon!
