October/November Newsletter

Welcome to the October/November issue of the Sweet Tarragon newsletter!

Thanksgiving Sale!
The big news this month is our big Thanksgiving sale. Starting “Black Friday”, November 28, and running through midnight on “Cyber Monday”, December 1, we’re offering 25% off every item in the store, plus free shipping. No special codes are needed – after you check out, wait for a revised invoice that reflects the sale price.

New Items
If you’ve seen us at a recent show, you know that we have a lot of great new items that are waiting to be photographed and posted on our site. We’ll be in shoot-and-post mode this weekend, and hope to have the majority of our new earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and ornaments posted Friday and Saturday. Do check out this month’s featured ornament, Waning Season, and check back at the site as the weekend progresses. We also have some great new pieces in the works, featuring dichroic glass by local artist Dave Boone – watch for those next month.

Updates and New Items
It’s been a busy September in the Sweet Tarragon world. We had a few shows and sent our package off to Artistry, where it arrived safe and (mostly) undamaged.We’ve added a number of new things to our Etsy store, including a new line of crystal suncatchers/ornaments. Check out my own personal favorite new necklace, Aqua and True, and get a glimpse at our crappy hardwood floors! We’ve also been all over the web: Kate at Om Shanti nominated us for the Brilliante Blog Award, and I was interviewed by Sheila Satin on her blog I Dig Crystals. Thank you Sheila and Kate! Mer and I succumbed to a new addiction this month and you can now find both of us on Twitter: @daniellenelson and @braindouche. Follow us if you’re a fellow Tweeter!

Home Shows

If you’d like to handle our inventory, get exclusive first looks at our newest pieces, and earn free jewelry, contact us about booking a home show. Invite your friends and family over for a night of fun and jewelry, and get an early jump on your holiday shopping.  You’ll earn a percentage in jewelry of all sales made and custom orders taken during your party!

Just in time for the holidays – shop The Marketplace!
The Marketplace at Sweet Tarragon is an online store hosted and run directly by us (well, by our alter egos at hot glue media). We’re designing it with our customers in mind to create a user-friendly shopping experience that is easy to navigate and use, with links to our favorite artists and great resources. Stay tuned for the grand opening, currently slated for mid-autumn 2008! Until then, please continue to visit our Etsy Shop for new items and great buys.

That’s all until next month!
