Stupid, stupid blogger. I just wrote a wonderful blog post and then away it sailed, into the internet ether, never to be seen again.
Well, since it is now past my bedtime - husband, baby, dogs and cats are already asleep - this has to be super short with the promise of more tomorrow. One thing that everyone should know about is a giveaway of two M&O pieces - a Ginger belt and Ginger Flask - as part of the Handmade with Love Blog Hop. They're available here - http://www.aleremodern.com/pages/artist.asp?aid=2 - if you aren't the lucky winner and need one of your own!
Details tomorrow on why I am posting so many guitar straps in my Etsy store, and what is next for my very website.

Cleaning House
So this year my resolution was to get rid of everything I don't use - I've taken three carloads of stuff to Goodwill so far this year (yep, only the 15th, so that's pretty good in my book!) and now we are down from having three fake trees to just two. It's a long story, but we're actually keeping the two. One for real presents, one for white elephant presents. And they're only 3 feet tall, so they don't take up that much space... I know, excuses, excuses.
But I'm cleaning out my studio, too. Getting rid of old stuff, making room for new work. I actually have a whopping 1/4 of my shop in my SALE section and everything in the SALE section is 40% off through the end of the month! It's all one of a kind, so be sure to not pass it up if you want it!
And happy new year!

Well, poo....
I wish I had better news to report, and this news is particularly hard for me. I don't usually do giveaways, promotions, etc., and with my new life and love for the world (as experienced through my six-month-old daughter) I've loosened up a bit, and this holiday season decided to give a few of them a try.
And I learned a lesson in the process.
I learned that the promotions that are within my sole control are a good idea. Ones that require collaboration are not. After weeks and weeks of trying, I have been completely unsuccessful in getting in touch with Veronica Willngham, the artist who was supposed to be giving away earrings to my customers.
And I am sick about this.
Some of the would-be earring recipients were old customers and friends, some were new. I believe in my heart that the people that I have worked with before know that I never would have done a giveaway on a whim, or without reason to trust the person I was working with on it. And I didn't. And I wouldn't. But as I have learned people may change, and things don't always work out the way that you plan.
So because the only thing I have control of is me, I will be giving something to all those who were supposed to receive earrings and did not. It will be in the form of Moxie & Oliver goods (trust me, you don't want earrings that I make - it's been years and the last set involved fishing lures), so if you were supposed to and did not receive your earrings, please contact me by email (caitlin [at] moxieandoliver.com) before January 31.
Thanks for your understanding and support - and happy 2011!

Huge Sale!
Huge sale, going on in my Etsy shop right now. Serriously huge. 40% off a dozen or so pieces - old favorites that need good homes. And most of them are purses, which will still arrive in time for Christmas.
The sale ends when they sell, so this is your one and only chance to get them at an insane price.
I don't usually do sales, as many of my fans know, so why now? Well, in my studio I have three shelves for work. One is entirely full of purses right now. Some are new, some are old, but the truth is that I want to make more, and just need the space for the new pieces. So, on sale they go, along with a few other pieces that have been sitting in the studio for a while. Fantastic deals, especially when you factor in the other promotions (see my older posts).
Happy holidays!

Here's how to get 25% off your next purchase from Moxie and Oliver:
As a one time only special I am offering coupons for 25% off your next Moxie and Oliver purchase when you make a purchase from Alere Modern between now and December 31.

Veronica Willingham, maker of fine jewelry, has asked me to give away thirty pairs of her earrings with a Moxie and Oliver purchase. How could I say no?

Sparkly and feminine, just the thing that any urban cowgirl needs.
So, while supplies last, with a qualifying purchase, you will receive a pair of earrings of your choice! Be sure to shop soon, because there are only 30 pairs in total, and a limited number of each style.
