Classes, Sale and New Items

I have very exciting news! Divella Delights is moving to Vermont! We are very excited but as I look around at everything there is to pack I am feeling a bit overwhelmed.


I have decided to put nearly everything in the shop at 50% off. Hats, Bags and Jewelry!

Please help me out and pass this on to anyone you can think of who might be interested in getting some really good deals. This is a great chance to get some beautiful designer jewelry at the same prices my wholesale accounts have.

We have Easter right around the corner and Mother’s Day coming up soon too! If you are really the organize type you can shop for Christmas early too!

I have some great new pieces and a new section in the shop for the Ravishingly Robust woman.

I will be very busy for the next few months getting the house ready to sell, packing, donating, etc…so the next time I talk to you will be from Vermont a few months (and miles) down the road!

Take good care

Happy Valentine’s Day from Divella Delights!

Happy Valentine’s Day from Divella Delights!
Everything on the site is 10% off, even the Under $25.00 section and all those beautiful hats! Necklaces have been discounted 40% and bracelets are 30%! Sale begins now and ends Thursday evening and remember, I ship every day.
All orders over $45.00 receive a free gift!
I have the jewelry store I sell to coming over tomorrow to fill up her display so if there is something you want, you might want to get it now.
The winner for February has been selected so as soon as I hear back I will announce the winner.
I just purchased a program so I can make my own bead patterns for peyote bracelets so lots of great new designs coming up. I will even be able to bead people, pets, etc into a bracelet. See the geometric one? This one was designed by Anna Neff although I changed things up a bit and designed a clasp I like much better. This will be very exciting!
Happy Valentines Day to all of you!

Gemstone Necklace Sale

OK you want it, you have it! For this weekend I will have all gemstone necklaces on sale at 42% off, just to be a little on the odd side. It was pointed out to me that I don’t run sales on the necklaces as often as the bracelets. Call it Christmas in July although I was going to wait until August just because so many businesses do the July thing. As you can tell by my jewelry I like to be a little different! But since you asked for it now, here you are!
The sale will end around midnight Sunday and will begin now I guess.
Happy shopping!

HUGE JEWELRY AND FIBER SALE

Happy 4th of July!!
This weekend to celebrate the 4th most of my shop has been reduced 40% to 60%! Sale ends Sunday.
Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July and remember to thank someone in uniform for their serviceand our freedom!

Games and Sales

We are going to play a new game at Divella Delights. Every day there will be a featured item. You’ll know it only because the title will be in red. That one item will be marked at half price! They will change at random and could be in any category and here is the kicker…it could be something already marked down! For example if it is one of the crocheted bracelets that are already 60% off (while they last) at $13.20 you could get it for as low as $6.60! A $32.00 crocheted bracelet for $6.60! And many sell their crocheted bracelets for more than my original price!
If you have not read my previous blog, all crocheted bracelets are 60% off while they last as I am not going to be making them any more.
Does it get any better? Stop by http://www.divelladelights.com/ and check out my new designs, sales and say "Hi" in the guestbook. While you are there you will want to sign up on the e-mail list because every month I draw a name and send a mystery item from my shop to that person!

Huge Gemstone Sale

I am offering 20% on my gemstone necklaces and gemstone necklace sets until midnight February 13th for Valentine's Day. I will be shipping twice daily. Above are a couple of samples of the different styles I have. All my jewelry is handmade by me and are made with genuine gemstones, pearls, sterling and golf filled wire. You will find no plated materials unless specifically noted in the item description.

BLACK FRIDAY BUY HANDMADE

Black Friday, Buy handmade
Black Friday is the biggest shopping day of the year in the malls and retail stores. I wonder if the same is true for on line shoppers? I am thinking it must be; people are off for the holiday weekend.
If you want to stay home this Black Friday take advantage of all the Internet sites offering handmade gifts this year. You can find most anything at an online shop and support small business at the same time. Best of all you will be giving a one of a kind gift, handmade with great care.
Most artisans who sell their work at a site on line sell products that are of superior quality; they depend on repeat business! We cannot afford to have someone displeased by a purchase they made from us, we all know how fast bad news travels. In buying handmade this year you can accomplish a lot. Among other things by shopping the Internet shops on Black Friday or any day you can:
Save energy, time and money by shopping from home.
Support small business, maybe even someone in your own town!
Give a high quality USA handmade gift with a person and a story behind it.
Know that the person you are buying from depends on word of mouth and repeat business, they will want you to be thrilled with your purchase!
Avoid road rage, trying to find parking spaces, long check out lines, shortage of "advertised specials".
Avoid the infamous bait and switch practice used by so many retailers, especially on Black Friday.
Black Friday is part of a wonderful long weekend for most people and a chance for you to enjoy family, friends and wonderful food.
There are wonderful websites out there full of handmade artisans where you can read about the artisan and their work, ask questions, request special orders. One of them is Etsy.com. I have a shop on there for my knit goods and my own shop at www.divelladelights.com as well for my jewelry as well as my knit and crochet goods
On Etsy you can find just about everything your imagination can come up with and then some and it is handmade!. There are:
Wood products
Clothing
Jewelry
Home Décor
Books
Patterns
Soaps, lotions and oils
Paper goods
Pottery
Paintings
Sculpture
Music
Candy
Leather goods and it goes on…

I am having a sale at my divelladelights.com site beginning this Black Friday and lasting until New Year’s Day. I have not decided on all the details yet. I already offer free gift boxing on all my gemstone jewelry.
Shop in comfort, give a special gift this year and buy handmade this Black Friday.

ETSY SHOP SALE, CLOSING

OK, so lots of folks have shops on ETSY and they do very well. I have tried everything I can think of and I just can't get the sales so I am closing the shops. Before I do I want to liquidate my inventory so I am having a huge sale on all hats and bags ..If you are looking for a bargain with Christmas coming up, check out my shops at http://www.divellasfibers.etsy.com/ and http://divelladelights.etsy.com/ Luckily I have some wholesale accounts for my gemstone lines and crocheted bracelets so things are not so bad. I just can't see paying for a site that does not pay for itself. I will be opening my own shop on line and will bring more details as they unfold. Meanwhile, save some money and shop early for Christmas!

Jewelry Liquidation Sale

Now that I am using strictly gemstones in my designs I find I have all these glass beads left over from when I first began making jewelry. I thought I would free up some space in my studio and would make necklaces out of them and price them to go. Above are 3 of the items I have added to that collection. I have also made a few bracelets. I see lots of folks selling their supplies, but I love the creation process to why not?! It is a very good way to practice new techniques or just get some color design figured out. I have sold a few locally now I have put a few online. I was told that perhaps I did not want to do that due to my usual high end line that is displayed there. Does it really make a difference? I have only sold one of my gemstone peices on line anyway. I post them for a couple of days and then take them to one of my wholesale accounts in fine jewelry stores around Maine. Oh! I just realized I have never posted a list of places I show...well here you are!
My designs can be seen at:
Tardif Jewelers in Waterville, Maine
MaineStudio 5, Lewiston, Maine
Maine Gem and Silver Company in Ogunquit Maine
Bohemian Coffee House in Melrose, Massachusetts
CUBE in Portland, Oregon
Magnolia in Bath, Maine
