New Items
Nothing New This Week
We've spent a lot of time and effort with our local festival (see NEWS,
below), and are currently in the process of organizing and slimming our
inventory (see SALE, below), so we have not listed anything new recently.
In about two weeks we should start getting back to listing.
Coming soon
New Beads:
Golden Oyster Stick, Hessonite Heishi, Aquamarine Round, Rhodonite Round,
Fluorite Twist, Turquoise Cube, Red Aventurine Cube, Multicolor Aquamarine
Rondell, more Faceted Beads
Spring Bracelets
Herkimer Diamonds
Carved Fluorite Bowls
Many new Stone Pendants
(Including Discs, Scarabs, Leaves, Zuni Buffaloes, and old favorite shapes
in new stones)
Stone Fun Facts
Fire Opal (Revisited)
WHY ALL THE "REVISITED" FACTS?
At this point, there are very few stones I have featured in the weekly
Stone Fun Facts. Every week it gets harder to find new stones to
profile. When we are extra-busy, as we are lately, it is good to sort of
relax and re-visit some old stones we have profiled in the past. Don't
worry, there will be more new ones soon!
News & Stuff
Local Festival Last
Week
On September 2nd and 3rd, Ephemerala had a booth at our local Peach Days
festival, and had a ragingly successful time! We found that the things
that sell well on our website (beads, pendants) didn't sell very well in person,
while things that are less-common sellers on the website went like wildfire when
people were able to actually see and touch them. The festival was a nice
compliment to our website, and we look forward to doing it again next
year.
Garnet Dress
A couple of weeks ago my sister and I attended a concert in Salt Lake City,
and being the creative and ostentatious person that I am, I wore the singer's
band's logo on the back of my dress in Garnets! You can see the picture
here:
This is just one example of the stuff you can do with Ephemerala
beads! This design (which also included swirls up front) took about 40
bags of Garnet chip beads. Needless to say, if I never see another Garnet
it will be too soon. But I got a lot of great compliments on the dress,
and was able to hand out a few business cards to boot.
Fortnightly Sale
Inventory Clearance!
While sorting through our Peach Days stuff, we found a lot
of items that are sort of forgotten on the website, pushed to the back of the
shelves and people's minds, and not really doing us any good right now. We
decided to make these in a sale. All of the random items in our sale have
been reduced in price, from 50 cents to several dollars. Most of these are
in very limited supply, and we don't plan to re-stock them once they are gone,
so get yours NOW, while you can! All sorts of things are represented
here--beads, jewelry, trinkets of all types.
Inventory Clearance Sale is good through September

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 got to my online store
site:
and browse until you find the hidden listing. Add it
to your cart, along with the rest of your $10.00+ order, and it will be included
for just a penny. Happy Hunting!
(Recent keen-eyed customers got a MEDICINE
STONE for a penny. What will you be able to get this
week?)
Insider's Special
Color Groups Chip
Packs
This is a package consisting of six (6) bags of Chip Beads
in specific color groups. There are six different color groups to choose
from, and each pack is $10.00. These are great for people who want to
color-coordinate their beading but don't necessarily want to go finding the
stones on their own. (Plus, the price is greatly reduced when you buy the
pack!) There is no limit to the number of packs you can
buy. All stones will be chosen by us, though if you have a favorite or
two, please let us know and we will try to accommodate.
Color Chips Packs Offer is good through
