My, How Time Flies! Just 5 Days Left Until Our Grand Re-Opening Discount Ends!
Monday, December 31 marks the end of our Grand Re-Opening 15% Off Discount. We are pleased that so many of you took advantage of this site-wide savings that marked the re-launch of Pick Up Sticks Jewelry Company…and there are still a few days left to stock up on your favorite fun, funky, and heartfelt Photo Charms and accessories at discounted prices.* A number of smart shoppers told us they took advantage of the month-long sale to purchase gifts for friends for the coming year. We think there’s nothing better than being both well prepared and a super-savvy shopper.
Pick Up Sticks Magical Charm Clips!
Wow! Sometimes we even amaze ourselves… after searching for ways to make all our lives easier, we came up with what we’re calling our Magical Clip! If you’re tired of trying to get your jump rings on charms and trinkets to act right (close tightly without a gap, attach to a link bracelet or necklace…), we now have the answer.
And the best news? Every single Pick Up Sticks photo charm and trinket will now come with this clip attached. They’re the easiest thing in the world to operate (no advanced engineering degree or tools needed) and will make your link necklaces and bracelets easy to build. These clips are magically spring-loaded. Promise…
Yep, we’re pretty excited. We think this new development is going to be life-changing for Pick Up Sticks retailers and collectors. Okay, maybe not life-changing, but it will make selling and collecting even more fun! Leave your comments below if you have questions.
Sylvie from On a Limb – Our Testimonial Contest Winner
We’ve heard lots of great stories from Pick Up Sticks retailers and customers, but never one like this. So we had no choice but to choose Sylvie, the adorable, smart, hard-working 13-year-old from Summerville, South Carolina, who WORKS FOR PICK UP STICKS CHARMS.
Yep, we said that right. Sylvie works for the sole purpose of adding to her Pick Up Sticks collection. When her employer, Heidi from On A Limb (onalimbflorals.com), e-mailed us with her story, we had to know more. So we called Heidi to get the low down on Sylvie.
“Not your typical 13 year-old,” Heidi says, “in fact, like no other 13 year-old you’ve ever met.” Evidently Sylvie came into Heidi’s shop last spring, wanting to buy an expensive Mother’s Day gift for her Mom. When she saw the price tag, Sylvie asked if she could work to pay it off.
Heidi put her to work scrubbing floral buckets, sweeping and taking out the trash. Heidi was leery of hiring someone so young, but Sylvie proved to be an amazing employee. And once the Mother’s Day gift was paid for, Sylvie asked to stay. Seems she’d had her eye on the Pick Up Sticks display.
New Mexico Girls in Cyberspace?
If you had asked us a year ago if we had a blog, we would have probably responded with a confused “Huh?” A year ago, Sabrina was listening to podcasts about artists and industry and Glena was just getting a Facebook account, but a BLOG? Really now people, isn’t designing and selling fun beautiful jewelry enough?
