Shinies sidewalk sale!

2014-11-29T19:21:11Z

I have bought a lot of shinies from elisem over the years and, since she's still making lovely things, I don't expect to stop acquiring more anytime soon. Like a dragon, I now have a small hoard. As awesome as that is, the pieces that I love most have changed over time, and there are a lot of items that I just don't wear anymore. I think they deserve better than languishing in my jewellery box, so I'm sending them out into the world to seek new homes and ~~new civilizations, to boldly go~~ new adventures. Any money I make from these sales will help me afford the confluence of Christmas and vet bills. (My formerly-abused rescue dog says thank you for anxiety meds!)

LONG NECKLACES:

"Intermediate Rose Magic" necklace: glass and sterling silver. About 96 inches long. $250.

NECKLACE CROWNS:

"Where You Find It" necklace-crown: quartz, carnelian, sterling silver. $275.

PENDANTS:

"In This Life or Another" pendant: an ancient old coin (Roman?), a piece of ancient Roman glass, sterling silver. $50.
"Possibility" pendant: fluorite and sterling silver. $10.
"Trooping the Colors Back Under the Hill" pendant: a wonderfully subtle big agate bead, more agate, carnelian round, sterling silver wire. $30.

EARRINGS:
"Duties of the Shrine-Keeper at Butterfly Ridge Waystation" earrings: faux pearl beads (plastic, I think), zinc alloy key charms, glass, metallized plastic gear spacers, sterling silver. Original earwires. $15.
"Intricate Music" earrings: cloisonne, glass, gold filled beads and wire. New earwires. $40.
"Life Is a Carnival" earrings: Beau Hawn lampwork beads, Swarovski crystal, GF beads and wire. New earwires. $40.
"Song for the Skies" earrings: zinc alloy wings, glass and sterling silver. New earwires. $15.
"Sonnet Written In Sand" earrings: hami jasper, glass and sterling silver. New earwires. $15.

NOTES:
• All prices are in USD, as I expect most of these purchases to be heading that way. You can claim pieces by sending an email to michelle.parker@gmail.com and afterwards payment via PayPal is preferred. (If you're local, we can make other arrangements.)
• Shipping is $10 within Canada and $15 to the US. Your shinies will be packaged in a very sturdy gift box inside an envelope cushioned with bubble wrap.
• None of these shinies are damaged in any way. Pinky swear. I have knocked a few bucks off the more expensive pieces out of self-consciousness, but otherwise any discounts are because I myself bought them on sale. Markdowns for me become markdowns for you, even years later! It's like the least taxing time travel ever!
• As you can see, many of the earrings no longer have the original earwires from Elise's photos. I have metal allergies, so upon purchase Elise always swaps the originals out for me to ones made from super-hypoallergenic niobium that's been anodized to produce fun colours. Also, all earrings will come with clear wire guards unless you say you don't want them.
• Most pieces will come with their original name cards. I've yet to forget a name but personally I still like having the cards around for reference. Maybe you're like that too! Maybe you're not! Doesn't matter, you're getting them anyway!
