Complementary Upgrade to USPS Priority Mail at Bumbershoot Designs

How's it going - are you knee deep in holiday preparations?

We can help!

As of today, Dec 14, 2011, all jewelry purchases made at Bumbershoot Designs on the web and Bumbershoot Designs on Etsy will receive complementary shipping upgrades to USPS Priority Mail.  This upgrade is for all US customers purchasing our designs - you pay the regular shipping and we'll pay the extra fees to upgrade your package to Priority Mail. No need to ask, no coupon code necessary, we'll provide Priority Mail shipping for all US shipments until Dec 21, 2011. 

The US Postal Service says that Dec 21, 2011 is the last shipping day to ship Priority Mail packages for Christmas delivery.  All of the jewelry designs at Bumbershoot Designs are ready to ship. Be sure to order by 10am on Dec 21, 2011 for Christmas delivery.

For the convenience of our local Seattle customers, we will support last minute purchases by shipping up to and including Dec 23, 2011, with our usual 10am shipping deadline.

And don't forget gift certificates! We send those electronically so they are a great last minute option.

Wishing you a happy holiday season!

New at Bumbershoot Supplies. Vintage Lockets, Glass Rings and Vintage Cabochons, Oh My!

It has been a long week.  And all day today in Seattle it has been grey and POURING down rain. Non stop.  But the good thing about a rainy day is that it is a great time to pull out the supplies and make something beautiful.  I've been cruising the Vintaj idea gallery and already I can feel the wheels turning.  So let me share a few of the new items at Bumbershoot Supplies this week and then I'll settle down at my work table and see what I come up with.

By the way, the best way to learn about new supplies is to sign up for our newsletter.  And this month, since we are celebrating the launch of our new website, newsletter subscribers are receiving free shipping all month long at the new Bumbershoot Designs and Supplies site - any size of purchase, any location world wide and as many times in April as they want!
No fooling!

We have 3 new vintage lockets at Bumbershoot Supplies this week, here is one of them...

There are also some really beautiful vintage glass cabochons, one of them above...

And some vintage plastic cabochons...

And I was very excited to locate these delicate translucent peridot spring green glass rings. Uncommon, unusual, wouldn't these make interesting earrings? Or frames for mixed media?

Are your wheels turning? There are many more new items at Bumbershoot Supplies and Designs and at Bumbershoot Supplies on Etsy.

Until next time, have a great weekend!
