Birthday Sale!

Can you see that Etsy wishes us a Happy Birthday? Cool. :)

Yes...tomorrow is my birthday. In a couple of hours I will be %$#*&^ years old. Sigh. At the last minute, I decided to have sale in honor of aging one more year, good at both of my shops. Clickie and Clickie.

My best birthday was in Sarasota, Florida, when I was designing the 1997 season at Sarasota Opera. My shop threw me a surprise party, which was a complete surprise, in the middle of the costume shop, with silver, candlesticks, tablecloths - a formal dessert setting in the oddest of places. It was so wonderful, and I still have the presents I received that day, which I treasure. Later that day, a friend prepared Filet Mignon and Bananas Foster for dinner, so it was a day of celebration, art, food and beautiful music with friends. We were working on either "Konigskinder" or "Ernani" by that time, the 3rd or 4th opera of the season, I can't remember exactly, so were collectively close to dead on our feet. That was a wonderful, if exhausting 5 months of work with many talented and unforgettable people, most of whom I haven't seen since, but that's the way it can be in my business.

Sale. Starts Xmas Day!

Yes, it's true. I don't do sales very often, and to set myself apart from almost every other seller in the free world, didn't have a sale before Christmas, mainly because I feel that my prices are pretty reasonable. That said, I have a staggering number of items in my shop, 165 to be exact, and even though I love each and every one of them, some of them just Have. To. Go. so I can make new pieces with a clear conscience.

If you have had your eye on a particular piece, this will be the time to go and get it! I'm starting my editing this evening in between other chores, so check back now & then to see what's available.

How's that Batch editing coming, Etsy?
