Shopping Parties

I know this doesn't apply to lots of, and I'm sorry about that. But, if you're in my area (Northern California), I am currently booking appointments for Holiday Home Shows and Shopping Parties.

How do I book mine, you ask? All you have to do is click the below link and check the schedule for time and date. It's that easy. What are the perks? Well, the hostess of the event receives $10 credit for every $50 purchased at their event. As an added bonus, they also get a special little hostess gift just for them.

Wondering if you are "local" enough to book a party? If you are within 60 miles of Redding, you are "local" enough for my tastes. Other locations are possibilities, but let's talk about it first.

November Giveaway!

There are a few giveaways on the horizon for the the holiday months. Yes, I realize that November is already into full swing. But, as an artiste, I am excused from being fashionably late for my own announcements. Excuses aside, here's the skinny on how to get gorgeous free stuff this month.

November Giveaway - Featherette Ornament Trio!



That's right, the newest & sweetest set of ornaments you've ever seen are up for grabs just in time for the holidays! The Featherette Trio is comprised of well placed metallic ribbon, snow white feather whisps, and natural baroque pearl clusters. Yes, as in real pearls. They're beyond words.

Now that I've convinced you how fantastic they are, I'm sure you want to know how to enter the drawing. You can enter by doing any 2 of the following tasks and posting which ones you chose on the Facebook Fan Page Discussion Board HERE. You will not be entered for the drawing unless you do your follow up post on the discussion board. One last thing, whichever tasks you choose must be completed during month of November to count as an entry.

holiday- you dare say the word!

i am getting things up and running for the holiday season. i'm arranging some marketing materials as well as some new techniques. i am, yes again, revamping my website. if you've not already realized it, i am a lover of the trial and error method and thus much of my life consists of said method. i wouldn't have it any other way. so back to the website. you will now find the shopping link very useful on www.chrystalynjewelry.com. the page itself features a feed that allows the most recently uploaded pieces from my etsy site to be showcased. you click the link and you're ready to go! you'll also notice a few new links as such as custom, testimonial, & bridal. the testimonial link is all about customer appreciation. there will be photos of clients in their pieces as well as quotes. the custom section is an invitation to design w/ chrystalyn jewelry and also makes reference to repair work. and finally, the blog page is an actual page rather than a link to a page. w/out leaving the site, you have access to the most recent jewelry blogs @ your disposal. alright, enough jewelry plugs for now.

i am also excited to say that i'm going to be rockin' it roadtrip style to kansas in a few weeks. if you or someone you knows would appreciate chrystalyn jewelry, please feel free to get them in touch w/ me. i'm more than excited @ the prospect of seeing some new clients...

continue to watch for details about events where chrystalyn jewelry will be appearing. one already confirmed is redding's november holiday shophop. on saturday, november 15 from 10am to 7pm, i'll be out @ monica's vintage inspired on athens showcasing my ingenious ornaments & wine charms. please come out and help us jumpstart the coming holiday season!!!

why i haven't called you back lately...

the reason i've not called you back lately is b/c i'm working full time again. you wouldn't know it by the fact that i'm blogging during business hours on a weekday, but i really am working. seriously. i'm temping @ an agency in town as a receptionist. sometimes i have tons to do and sometimes i have nothing. doesn't that sound a bit like my life right now??? so from 8-5pm minus lunch breaks, i am predominantly unavailable. however, if you live in the area and you'd like to have a lunch date, i could make that happen. (-;

i'm also exceptionally busy b/c, as stated in my most previous blogs, i am getting things up and running for the holiday season. i'm arranging some marketing materials as well as some new techniques. i am, yes again, revamping my website. if you've not already realized it, i am a lover of the trial and error method and thus much of my life consists of said method. i wouldn't have it any other way. so back to the website. you will now find the shopping link very useful on www.chrystalynjewelry.com. the page itself features a feed that allows the most recently uploaded pieces from my etsy site to be showcased. you click the link and you're ready to go! you'll also notice a few new links as such as custom, testimonial, & bridal. the testimonial link is all about customer appreciation. there will be photos of clients in their pieces as well as quotes. the custom section is an invitation to design w/ chrystalyn jewelry and also makes reference to repair work. and finally, the blog page is an actual page rather than a link to a page. w/out leaving the site, you have access to the most recent jewelry blogs @ your disposal.

alright, enough jewelry plugs for now. i am also excited to say that i'm going to be rockin' it roadtrip style to kansas in a few weeks. the dates, @ this point and b/c of my job, look like i'll be gone the 2nd & 3rd week or so of october. not only have i never been to kc, i've also never been to ihop (international house of prayer). i'm going to be going w/ danny and his dad, gary. woohoo. this should be interesting. apparently, we'll sort of be touring the state. we'll be visiting a few small towns, one of which danny grew up in, as well as kansas city itself.

wine charms & ornaments!

holiday is right around the corner and chrystalyn jewelry is so excited about the new things we have to offer this season! we just started doing wine charms (aka wine markers) and they are lovely. they're made from the same authentic gemstones that chrystalyn jewelry is known for. we're also adding to our holiday repertoire by way of ornaments. we had a few posted last year on the website, but there are now both more designs as well as color schemes.

and finally, chrystalyn jewelry is going to be doing a few events this holiday season and they'll be posted as they're confirmed. if you'd like to host a jewelry party, please email for scheduling...
