Now Here's a Fun Site to Visit

If you've never visited this site you should: http://tryhandmade.com/bits-and-bobs . The title is the link (until I figure out how to include links in the text!!!) It's a great place for and about talented artists and designers. I am pleased to mention that some of our vintage Venetian beads were recently featured supplies here in "Bits and bobs" .

Summer Special - Free Shipping Stimulus Plan

On the spur of the moment I just decided to offer a "Free Shipping Stimulus Plan" in honor of the official start of summer. Yes, I know that was three days ago but it's been a busy week! The details are all outlined in my etsy shop but basically it's free domestic and international shipping on all orders $21.00 and up. Why $21.00? Because summer started on June 21st!

SECOND ANNUAL YART SALE sponsored by Team ESST – June 10-14, 2009 = MORE Free Shipping from Beadbrats!

The “2nd Annual Yart Sale” will be held from Wednesday June 10th - Sunday June 14th, 2009. This year the “2nd Annual Yart Sale” will be sponsored by the Etsy Supply Street Team (Team ESST). Although not an official Etsy event, it is Etsy supported as evidenced by the Storque article (title is link to this article). A “Yart Sale” is an artistic spin on the traditional Yard Sale: Art + Yard Sale = “Yart Sale”.

This is my first year as a team member so I have decided to participate with the following offer: FREE SHIPPING! Yup, more free shipping! All orders received until midnight on Sunday, June 14th will receive free first class shipping. Terms and details are as follows:

"Payment is still expected and appreciated within three days of order. All times are my local time (EDT). This offer is for domestic & international shipping. I will issue refunds for the shipping portion of your order via PayPal. Once your payment is received I will go ahead & issue a paypal refund for the shipping charge."

Team ESST invites you to come, post, chat and shop on the “Official Yart Sale” thread in the Promotions Section of the Etsy forums. A new thread will be posted daily at 7:00 AM EDT beginning on Wednesday June 10th by the Etsy Supply Street Team with the forum title:
“SECOND ANNUAL YART SALE sponsored by Team ESST – June 10th, 2009”

So come on by & join in the fun!
