December is upon us, which means signups are now open for both Pretty Rocks Club 2023 - for year four we're doing a deep dive into the feldspar family - and where do we go from here, my annual batch of custom intent-setting shinies for the upcoming year.

(I've finally gotten around to putting up individual months from most of 2022, if you aren't a current or past subscriber and want to check it out before you sign up for a whole year...)

Also! Today is the last day to order if you want your shinies to arrive by the first night of Hanukkah! Christmas/Solstice/Yule folks, you've got another week, until December 11th, but I'd encourage you to order sooner rather than later if you're buying gifts.

($5 earrings and $5 pendants are always great for stocking stuffers or last-minute gift exchanges, or there are quite a few of the little $25 pendants left... and don't forget that you can always drop subtle hints to spouses and relatives by sending them to your wishlist.)

The end-of-year clearance sale will start on December 26th and run through December 31st. All orders placed during the sale will be held until shipping resumes on January 2nd, because I plan to spend that week moving into the new studio!

This photo is from November, before the new windows went in (love the new windows!) because it's currently a huge mess of power tools and sawhorses and cases of flooring, but it's coming along nicely and is going to be such a marvelous workspace.

I have a bunch of stuff in the works for 2023, including offering beautiful dyed silk ribbons and custom-length sterling chains... but right now I'm off to figure out where I left my tea and get some sparkly new leaf earrings up on the website...
