Small Business Saturday Sale

In celebration of Small Business Saturday (Saturday, November 24, this year) I am offering 25% off of everything at Holly&Sage!

This is an unprecedented discount - if you have been eying one of my items or are searching for a unique holiday gift, don't miss this opportunity to get a great deal!

If you have never shopped at Holly&Sage before, here are a few of the unique offerings you will find there:

Mommy Necklaces

"Mommy Necklace" is my name for my line of a type of necklace commonly called a 'nursing necklace'. Nursing necklaces can be worn by anyone, but are especially useful for mothers or other care-givers that spend a lot of time holding babies or toddlers. Young children are attracted to jewelry and like to yank on necklaces. Most necklaces are too fragile to withstand their strong little hands, but not nursing necklaces! Designed to be sturdy, they are made with simple stones on natural fiber cords (usually cotton or hemp). They can withstand pulling and the stones won't harm baby if they find their way into little mouths.

Recycled Button Jewelry

 

My most popular jewelry items are my recycled button jewelry. I got the idea a couple of years ago to make bracelets from the large stash of buttons that I had collected over the years. I love the casual versatility of these bracelets! You can wear just one or stack them up for a really cool and funky look! They are not delicate like a lot of jewelry is, so you can wear them to the beach, etc. and if they get dirty, no worries - just throw them in the wash!

and my latest passion is -

Recycled T-shirt & Sweater Scarves

This eco-friendly idea was sparked from a Pinterest board and I am having so much fun with it! Instead of throwing old t-shirts away they can be used to make wonderfully soft and colorful scarves. I only have a couple of scarves listed now, but expect to see a lot more very soon. 

Come on over to Holly&Sage and see what you want to save on this Saturday!

Custom Bracelets From Your Buttons

Custom Bracelets From YOUR Special Buttons!

Now available from Holly&Sage - Custom Button Bracelets!

If you have a lot of buttons (or any) laying around and you like the idea of making jewelry, but you don't have the time (or the creativity or the desire) to make them yourself, send them to me and I will do it for you!

A friend of mine and the proprietor of Back Home, a quaint gift shop in Gold Hill, NC, had a lot of buttons that had been her mother's before she passed away. These were special reminders of her mother and she wanted to put them to use in a special way. Since she loves my button bracelets, she commissioned me to make some bracelets from her mother's buttons. They turned out great!




Aren't these pretty?
 
Thanks to Sandy's encouragement, I am now offering custom button bracelets from your buttons!

These make excellent heirloom gifts for family members: dig out Grandma's old buttons and have some made for aunts, nieces, sisters, cousins, etc. Think Grandma didn't have any buttons? Check that sewing sewing basket - I bet she did!

All you need is a selection of buttons - a 7-inch bracelet usually uses 10 - 12 buttons depending on how big the buttons are.
That's it! I will supply the cord, come up with a pleasing design, and put it all together for you!

See Holly&Sage for all the details.

Twiddletoes: Not Your Ordinary Sock!

NOT your ordinary socks, Twiddletoes are handmade toe socks with a twist! Like mittens for your feet, they have a separate 'toe' for the big toe.

Stacy started making what she calls 'tabi socks' because she was tired of seeing people wear flop flops with regular socks. She started out small, first making them for family members; now she sells her handmade socks at craft shows and festivals as well as in her online shop and her Etsy store.

She uses fine natural wools and her own pattern that features a ribbed cuff and reinforced toes and heels for superior wear and comfort. Her Simple Luxury line includes socks made from alpaca and cashmere! Those are truly luxury socks that would make a wonderful gift (especially for someone that likes to wear socks with their flip flops!).

When you're talking socks like this, anyone would be thrilled with socks for Christmas!

Cyber Monday Sale at Reef Botanicals!

Did you brave the mad fray to go shopping yesterday on Black Friday? Uggg! I guess some people like the excitement of it, but not me. I don't like crowds, anyway, and if I had my choice I would probably just avoid retail shopping of any kind for the whole month between Thanksgiving and Christmas! And driving, too, for that matter....

For those of you that agree and don't like the mob scene of retail shopping this time of year, Cyber Monday is your answer! I love online shopping, anyway, and you can get a lot of great deals online and your purchases will be delivered directly to your door instead of the ordeal of:

1. Driving in crazy traffic (and crazy weather, too, in some parts of the country)
2. Getting elbowed, shoved and stepped on by strangers
3. Walking for hours from store to store in search of the perfect item(s)

Cyber Monday is the perfect time to shop online and save on great holiday gift items. Reef Botanicals has something for everyone on your list - no kidding! From beautiful candles to shaving kits for men.

The husband and wife team of Larissa and Eric make every batch of soap, every candle, and every other item they sell by hand. They use only natural ingredients; no synthetic oils or colorants. Many of their products are also suitable for vegans and/or vegetarians.

On Monday, November 29, you can save 10% on every order from Reef Botanicals. Also, shipping is free on every order over $30! Check out their wonderful items - you won't be able to resist!

Happy Cyber Shopping!
