A Half Century

It's been along time since I've managed to post here--the summer has been crazy hectic--but it's not been quite 50 years. :-D

August is my birthday month, and the half century I'm referring to will be my age in a few weeks. I'm totally excited! The only thing more awesome than being a half-century is turning a full century, and I have a long time to plan that celebration.

To celebrate I'm having a Buy 1, Get 1 50% Off sale in all my shops all month long! For each item you purchase I'll take half off the price of a second item (discount will be on the lowest-priced item). Send me a Happy Birthday message via the venue you shop at and I'll either adjust prices for you or send you a refund.

Celebrate with me at LuckyGirlTrading on eBay, LuckyGirlTrading on Etsy, or LuckyGirlTrading on ArtFire.

I've got some new creations to show off, and a few more birthday celebrations to share, so check back in a few days to see what else I have going on!

I Have a New Thumb Joint Celebration Sale

You might have noticed me complain once or twice (or a gazillion times) about the arthritis in the joint at the base of my thumb. On Wednesday I had the offending little bone removed, and replaced with a wad of tissue taken from one of my tendons. This should last longer than I do, and I'm so excited about regaining full use of my right (dominant) hand!

For now though I'm sprawled on the sofa, my hand wrapped in many layers of bandages and a rigid brace, enjoying a nice pain pill buzz. Typing this short post is probably the only constructive thing I'll do today, so I've decided to have a sale.

Shop at my Etsy shop between now and Friday, June 19--the day I get a new rigid but removable brace--and save! Just type "NEW THUMB" in the comments to seller box during checkout and I'll either send you a revised invoice or refund your overpayment.

Lucky Fortune Cookie Boxes

Between the tax marathon and starting physical therapy this week, I've been exhausted. I decided to brighten things up with another special blog-only sale!

I have these cute little fortune cookie boxes in stock. I have small ones, approx. 3" x 1.75" x 1.5" each, in dark red, light pink, green, and lavender; and large ones, approx. 4" x 2.5" x 2" each, in black, blue, gray, and bright pink. You can see photos of all the colors here.

They're perfect for storing a bit of jewelry or other small treasure, and also make nice place card holders at dinner parties. A light squeeze at the base opens the box.

I normally sell a set of 3 small cookies for $8.45, and a set of 3 large cookies for $11.00, plus $5.95 shipping. Get yours now, before the holiday shopping frenzy starts, and I'll give you 1 free set with each 3 sets you purchase. I'll also charge you only the actual shipping cost, so if you only want one set you won't get hit with a big postage charge.

Interested? Send an email to luckygirltrading [at] yahoo.com with the number of sets you'd like, your color choices, and mailing address. I'll confirm I have the quantities and colors you want, weigh them in a shipping box, and send you a PayPal invoice. If you feel more comfortable making a purchase through an established e-commerce site, you can get these at my eBay store--but I can't give you any discount there.

Destash and Jewelry Supply Sale

I have way too much stuff I don't need or want. I've been listing it little by little in my Etsy shop, and now the bins I store these little treasures in are overflowing. From now through September 30, buy any item in the Supplies/Destash section of my shop and get a second item from that section at half-price. Put the phrase "Blog B0G0" in the notes to seller, and I'll either send you a revised invoice or refund the difference if you've already paid. There are tons of sterling silver charms, and a good number of odds and ends. And I'm surrounded by a bunch of things I'm trying to get listed, so there are more goodies to come.
