New Items
Bindis
In India, women love to adorn their faces and hands with pretty
jewels. This decoration has caught on in the United States, and I have
them! Each set contains five or six tiny jeweled "tattoos," ready to
wear. They are reusable as well. Buy several tins for a
variety. These can be worn on the face, shoulders, hands, even on
fingernails.
Silver Capped Point Pendants
Pretty simple: gemstone point pendants with a nice silver cap. An
interesting variation on the regular point pendants.
Coming Soon
Note: With the exception of the beads, the rest of the below items are
already listed on the site and ready to go. I still have them in the
"Coming Soon" section here due to a lack of pictures. Scanning tends to
take a lot of time, and it was more important to simply get these out and make
them available. I will add pictures as time permits. Anyone wishing
to buy any of the below items can find them in the appropriate catalogue pages
on my site. They will show up at the bottom of each page. If you
cannot find something you are interested in, let me know and I will send you the
link. As I add pictures, I will feature each one in the "New Items"
section.
New Beads:
Kambaba Long Chips, Mexican Zebra Jasper Chips, Green Opal Chips, African
Opal Chips, Yellow Opal Chips, Chevron Amethyst Chips, Blue Chalcedony Chips,
Tsavorite Chips, Red Agate Nugget, Frosted Quartz Round, Citrine Round, Citrine
Brick, Large Garnet Round, Abalone Stick
Ocarinas (clay flutes)
"Fortune Cookie" Silk Purses
Solid Perfume in Soapstone Jars
Stone Fun Facts
Sodalite
** Known as "Poor Man's Lapis" due to its similarity in color, Sodalite is
actually a component of Lapis, but is much less expensive. It comes in all
colors of blue, with white Calcite veins.
** Sodalite is thought to help change the wearer's thoughts about himself
or herself. It helps the wearer to be less self-critical, be more
introspective, and to analyze goals.
** Sodalite is also believed to be a good stone for groups working
together, as it forges a sense of solidarity and trust. It aids in
communication and in writing.
** Crystal healers use Sodalite to draw out infection, to reduce fever, and
to cure insomnia. It shields the wearer from negative energy, and blocks
radiation (and thus it is a good stone to keep by a television or
computer). It stills the mind, calms the spirit, and relaxes the body, and
is a good stone to use in meditation.
** The name "Sodalite" refers to its high Sodium content.
** The stone is relatively rare, with only three known mines in the
world.

News and Stuff
New E-mail Address Starting Next
Week
I have set up a service address through CityMax, and will start using
this address in one week. If you have spam filters, please set
them to allow service@ephemerala.CityMax.com
through. Otherwise, you may not get the newsletters any more.
Starting next week, all newsletters will come from this address.
I still can be found at dallape@charter.net, but all in all I
figured it would be wise to ultimately separate my work address from my personal
address. PayPal payments will still be made to the old e-mail
address.
No More Listing for This Year
I have a certain number of hours each day to devote to business. In
recent weeks I have used a lot of that time to list new items and update the web
pages. With the holidays coming soon, I am going to devote my business
time mainly to processing and packing orders, so you will get your package as
fast as possible. I hope to add to my store inventory in late December,
when holiday traffic slows down.
Fortnightly Sale
20% More in Value Packs!
A cornucopia of value! With the holidays coming up, people are
already starting to look for stocking stuffers and bulk items. This week,
I am offering a customer favorite sale of 20% more items in all Value

5-piece packs contain 6 pieces
10-piece packs contain 12 pieces
20-piece packs contain 24 pieces
40-piece packs contain 48 pieces
80-piece packs contain 96 pieces
100-piece packs contain 120 pieces
This sale applies to ALL Value Packs and grab bags, including beads,
pendants, rings, bracelets, chip bottles, chains, and a few new ones I've just
created. Have a ball!

20% More Items in Value Packs Offer is good through November 28,
2004.
Penny Sale
Every two weeks, I hide a new special offer somewhere on my online
site. This listing will offer a certain product for ONE CENT, with any
purchase of $10.00 or more. The item and its location will change every
two weeks, so be sure to look often. Simply go to my online store site:
and browse until you find the hidden listing. Add it to your cart,
along with the rest of your $10+ order, and it will be included for just a
penny. Happy Hunting!
(Recent keen-eyed customers got a bag of PEARL BEADS for a penny.
What will you be able to get this week?)
Insider's Special
Cash Back on Chip Beads
Purchases
This week, for each bag of Chip Beads you buy, I will return 50 cents back
to you. Due to the large number of Chip Beads, I
cannot automatically change all prices to reflect this sale, but here's how
it will work. Go to my eBay store or my online store and buy any number of
bags of Chip Beads you wish. When you pay, drop me a short line to let me
know of your Insider's status. I will then REFUND your PayPal payment to
the tune of 50 cents for each bag purchased. (Or, if you pay by check or
money order, I will send your refund back with your package.) This means
if you buy 20 bags of Chip Beads, I will refund $10.00. If you buy 40
bags, I will refund $20.00. What if you decide to go whole hog and buy 100
bags? You will get a refund of a whoppin' $50.00 back. There is NO
LIMIT to the number of bags you may buy, and no Chip is out of bounds (which
means, for the very first time, the more expensive chips will be included in the
sale!). NOTE: This sale is NOT good in conjunction with the Value Packs
sale. To be more specific, if you buy a Chip Beads Value Pack and get the
20% extra bags, you will not get the 50-cent discount per bag. This sale
applies to INDIVIDUAL bags of Chips only. Chip Lovers, here's YOUR
sale!
Cash Back on Chips Offer is good through November 28,
2004.
