I have been busy re-distributing my work after my SALA exhibitions. I am sending bits and pieces here there and everywhere! This includes new galleries in Stirling and Warrnambool!

We have had some nice weather here the last few days, it’s been a real treat. I’ve enjoyed going out into the garden with a cup of tea. I’ve been looking over the plans I made at the start of the year, seeing what I’ve actually done, and what is left to do…what I did that was not on the list, and what else I would like to do that is not on the list!
I just realised that I didn’t show you the necklace that went with the earrings from the other day, so here it is. Such a great colour, a real show stopper! I like to let the colour of the Skyy Vodka bottle shine through, so I don’t do a lot in terms of embellishing the beads.
First of all, thanks to everyone who has shopped in the Flash Sale! I just wanted to let you know that the 30% discount offer ends Monday night, around midnight South Australian time, so you still have a chance to order any items at 30% discount if you'd like to. Unfortunately I am not going to be able to offer these big discounts on a regular basis going forward. After taking into account all of the fees that are involved with a sale (PayPal, Etsy, postage), I am really having to re-evaluate my discounting strategy! If you want to get some good deals, this is the time. I won't be offering 30% discount again, unless I am selling out the listing in my Etsy shop. Here is the link to go to my shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/aussiejulesonline) . When you checkout type FLASH30 into the coupon box, and the discount will be applied.
I’ve been on a bit of a roll with the Coopers Ale beads lately (which is actually quite funny because you are supposed to roll the bottles before you drink the beer)! Ha, ha.
I have also been enjoying making these necklaces without clasps. They are so interesting because you can wear them however you want.
