Colour Dreaming: Pastel Blue + Pink

Isn’t it funny how sometimes a colour combination just stops you in your tracks?

That happened to me when I saw the above image on Pinterest recently. Something about the pale blue and pink just captured my eye and drew me in.

So, I got a tad obsessed and decided to search for other images with the same striking combination.. and thought I’d share them with you.

Of course, being a designer, I then had to rummage through my supplies to see if I could come up with anything in these colours.

And lo and behold! I found some wooden beads in pastel blue, pink, and some grey for a little more interest… what do you think?

I like it! I think I will add it to my winter jewellery wardrobe. If you guys like it, too, I might pop it in the shop. Let me know in the comments…

(It’s sterling silver chain, 22 inches long.)

Have you fallen in love with a certain colour combo lately? I’d love to know what it is so I can go stalk it :)

P.S. Some fun news – I’m going to be one of the speakers at the Problogger Training Event this coming September! It’s in my home state, on the good old Goldie, so if you are coming along, I’ll see you there.

Annual Birthday Sale! 25% off everything in-store

1-tri metal hoop necklace styled

Hey there, guess what? It’s my birthday!!

I am the ripe old age of 32 today :)

And you know what that means, right?

Yep, it’s time for my annual birthday sale – which means rather large discounts for you.

Why do I do this?

Well, I like celebrating my birthday by giving you something (a discount), and by doing that, you give me something (money and the satisfaction of making another sale. I never cease to get happy feelings whenever someone buys something I’ve made!). Give-give = win-win!

Here’s what’s happening this year:

Epheriell Jewellery – 25% off store-wide

This is the ONLY store-wide sale I have all year that’s open to everyone (I sometimes have sales only open to my Silver Service subscribers, but never with such a large discount store-wide).

So, if you’ve had your eye on something, this is the best chance you’ll get till this time next year to make it yours!

Shop on Epheriell.com and enter the code HAPPYBIRTHDAY2013 in the coupon code box on checkout to get your 25% discount.

{Yes, this sale is on in the Etsy shop, too, but stuff costs a few more dollars there due to the exchange rate, so you’re better off shopping at Epheriell.com!}

Buy as much as you like, as many times as you like. Sale runs from midnight Thursday till Sunday night, the 28th of April, midnight, AEST.

Epheriell Earring-of-the-Month-Club

Normal discounts – including the one above – do not apply to Earring-of-the-Month Club membership, as per normal.

HOWEVER – if you buy a 12 month subscription during this birthday sale period, I will give you 15% off the total subscription price! {That’s over $50 off}

Please purchase this through the store separately from any other items, and use the code CLUBSUB2013 to get this special.

Create & Thrive Guides – 50% off

Both guides currently available over on Create & Thrive – Etsy Success Stories & How to Run a Rockin’ Mailing List – are half-price from Friday-Sunday.

If you’ve got a crafty business, and need help to make it grow, both of these guides are for you.

No coupon code required, they are already altered to be half-price – $10 instead of $20 for How to Run a Rockin’ Mailing List, and $8.50 instead of $17 for Etsy Success Stories.

Same timeframe as above.

There are no extensions, no exceptions, no retroactive discounts on this sale! So don’t miss out :)

______________

Now, it’s time for me to chill out with a good book, but I’ll be keeping an eye on my email throughout today and the rest of the weekend if you have any questions!

I’m looking forward to my special birthday breakfast of homemade waffles, hash browns, bacon and eggs! Mmm… followed by dinner out with friends at a cider bar and restaurant tonight.

Hopefully it will be the best birthday ever!

Topaz Hoops – Urban Candy Challenge #8

Topaz Hoops (2)

 

I thought it was time to include some hoop action to my Urban Candy Challenge!

So, I had a browse through my bead collection and settled on these lovely topaz-coloured glass beads.

Like all my earrings, they’re made from eco (recycled) sterling silver, and these babies measure 3cm (1 1/4 inch) across.

These pretties are a Limited Edition of 5 pairs.

You can buy a pair for just $35 (incl postage) by commenting SOLD on the album page here on FB + email me – jessica {at} epherielldesigns.com – to confirm your purchase.

I think I might do  more hoops like this – what do you think?
