How Many Shopping Days Until Valentines Day?

I'm not exactly sure just how many shopping days there are until Valentines Day but as anyone looking for a gift knows there are never enough! Well nothing says "I love you" more than something handcrafted and there's an easy way to find the perfect supplies at the perfect prices, too. Just go to Etsy and search "Team ESST" to find the best beads, findings and craft supplies. Shop in comfort day or night - we're all open 24/7 - and you'll see just how much fun shopping can be. Don't forget that jewelry and craft supplies make the perfect gift for all the crafty people on your list, too.

My shop offers free worldwide shipping of our vintage beads with a minimum purchase. Many other shops offer different specials so be sure to check us out! Happy Valentines Day!

Happy New Year!

Now that the 2009 holiday season is in the bag we turn our sights to whatever this new year has in store for. Ever hopeful, we wish and pray for an upturn in the economy, health, happiness and peace all around us. I have tried to think of a suitable quotation to sum up my feelings for the new year. I give you two to choose from and depending on whether your glass is half full or half empty you can select a favorite.

One is: Hope is passion for what is possible.
-- Soren Kierkegaard.

The other is: The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of the oncoming train.
-- Unknown.

Happy 2010!
