For The Holidays http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Clever/~3/tSNk9BKma8w/its-never-too-late-to-be-clever-for-the-holidays.html http://clever.typepad.com/clever/2009/12/its-never-too-late-to-be-clever-for-the-holidays.html It's never too late! (now featuring expedited shipping and gift certificates!) Holidays

Good news! I'm still shipping!

I have all the details, with up to the date info,  in my shop announcement

Here's the general info:

✈✈✈Holiday cutoff for USPS Priority is noon EST 12/21. ($5)
✈✈✈FedEx Overnight Cutoff is 12/23 noon EST ($25)
✈✈✈FedEx 2Day Cutoff is 12/22 (noon EST) ($17)


(Please keep in mind that as much as I would like to control the weather, and how the major parcel carriers respond to it, I do not have such a power (though my 6 year old thinks that I do :-) I do promise to get your order out promptly. I cannot stress enough that the earlier you get your order in, the more likely you will have it on time, as weather, carrier volume, and technology can all slow things down this time of year).

So what are you waiting for?  Come shop!

If you missed the deadlines, or don't want to spring for FedEx 2-Day or Overnight, you can always email or print a gift certificate redeemable for treasures from my Etsy shop! 

Just click the button, choose an amount and delivery method, and you are good to go!


Well, I'm heading back to my honorary elf duties!

Happy treasure hunting!

Have eyes in the back of your head! Trick your kids! Fool your coworkers! Marion Crane Earrings from Clevergirl.Etsy.com

Les Yeux Boo! Eye see you! I love Halloween. But I love Halloween from behind the scenes. I like the planning and creating and the troubleshooting. For me, it is like a treasure hunt to warm me up for the upcoming holidays. I have to find just the right thing, I can plan all year for it, and I have to have a backup plan

.Eye Wide Open

BUT I do not like getting dressed up and people in masks and people who are barely recognizable freak me out. Seriously. I have trouble understanding spoken language unless I can see the person's mouth and I have made an ass out of myself (there would be a costume!) more than once by enthusiastically approaching folks I think I know and then I realize oops- not them. It is my hope, that these oopses become clear to me before I hug the person, kiss them on the cheek, or sassily pinch their behind (happened to me, ClubMed age 10. I thought the skinny blond was my mom. It wasn't. It was a shocked dude. My mother thought it was hilarious. I didn't tell her about the part where the person was a Mick Jagger-ly skinny dude.).

I do relish indulging in some of the lower key camp of the holiday. I have a pair of the eyeball hairpins for my own use (the ones offered are unworn) and it really reitterates the eyes in the back of my head thing with the kiddo (and appeals, I think, to his very visual learning style.

The earrings were inspired by the shower scene in Psycho, and the necklace is just a gorgeous, matte eye. All of them are set in handmade, from scratch, sterling silver settings and are heirloom quality. Which, of course, is as important as design and style when eyeing a signature piece.

Anyway, Happy Trick or Treating! Now go shopping! xo Bek
