Thursday Thoughts: Holiday Shopping & Shipping

Where did October and early November go? Wow. Amazing how the time between the start of Fall and the holiday season gets faster every year!

We're working our little camera to death trying to get all our holiday merchandise up. It's time to shop for hostess gifts, a special something for that special someone, and heirlooms your little ones will treasure from here to eternity.

Let's see what we have...for the special hostess in your life, a lovely seasonal brooch may be just the thing. We have a lovely gold, textured, leaf brooch from Trifari that would be perfect year 'round.

or this lovely, autumn Weiss brooch! The colors are exquisite, and the size is perfect for just about anything from a blouse to a scarf:


Give the gift of an heirloom this year! We have nice vintage pieces looking for a good home where they can participate in the celebration of life and family for years to come. We're particularly fond of this sterling silver crucifix and chain:


Or update the dinner table or living room with these stately, yet charming, silverplate Gorham candlestick holders:


Whatever you do, don't forget about that special someone in your life! Celebrate their importance to you and their appreciation of the finer things with one of our Coro pieces. This lovely leaf necklace exudes elegance with a little flair:


The epitomy of last but not least, these Coro rosebud earrings! The background on which the rosebuds are painted reminds me of a wedding cake's icing - delicious!


But wait, you say, what about shipping?! We'll be updating our policies, tweeting, and posting notices here on the blog as well as Facebook about when the last day to purchase via regular USPS for delivery by Christmas will be.

We highly recommend USPS Express to guarantee arrival; it's the only method USPS guarantees within a specified timeframe. With the USPS location closings, we think Express may be the only way to go after the first week of December!

We are also looking into Christmas wrap, gift certificates, and all the rest. If there's anything you want us to offer that we don't - JUST ASK :-) We'd love that.

Hello, World!

Just a little programming humor for everyone this morning. (For those of you who don't know...when you are learning a new programming language, it is tradition to make your first output "Hello, World!")

But now the real reason for our Subject Line: we're shipping globally, now! That's right. After lots of thought and lots of reading posts in the Etsy forums, we're taking plunge. We've done our due diligence, and now it's time to hope we know what we're doing.

According to our Google Analytics, we have visitors from countries on almost all the continents. We'd hate to turn someone away or appear to make it impossible to unite them with one of our unburied treasures. So here it goes...we'll ship anywhere!

Look out world, here we come!
