Rainbow treasury

Etsy member Natali, owner of the shop VivaArcenciel, recently created a colourful treasury listing of her favourite items and included the multi-stone Theadora earrings. Thanks Natali!

Rain, rain, come my way

Hello there! It's been a while so it is time for a sale! (It's also because I'm going on vacation and won't be able to ship orders for a while, but who's quibbling?) From October 1 to 20, all items at aileen.etsy.com are discounted by 15% when the code 2015ROMANHOLIDAY is used at check out. Deal, right? All orders will ship by October 22, which means you can cross off your holiday shopping list early!

Like the Elodie necklace? This rain cloud necklace with the sterling silver pendant and pale smoky quartz raindrops can be yours. The stones are faceted with a point on one side and with a flat top like a regular pear-shaped gem on the other. You can wear it with the points facing in or out!

Family of neutrals

The Justina necklace has been chosen for an Etsy treasury! Entitled Beige Accent, the colours are soothing and warm, and I just can't get enough of it!

Ship happens (and you can find out where)

Exclusively for Canada- and US- based customers, I am pleased to offer an upgraded shipping option! While standard shipping is the most economical, its limitations may not work for everyone. For an extra $15, there will be a tracking number and the delivery can be expected within 7 business days.

Upgraded shipping is available for international customers too! The service standard is 10 days, but the exact time frame can vary depending on the destination. As the cost also varies, please contact me with your address and I will get a quote.

Here's what tracked shipping looks like in Etsy:

Blushing beautiful

After having my pieces chosen for several recent treasuries on Etsy, I needed to curate my own collection! Named Blushing Beautiful, all of the items are personal favourites:

Blue and orange

How fabulous! ARIA INDUSTRIES jewellery was selected for two Etsy treasuries on the same day! The Tarina earrings were chosen for a collection called Womens Fashion, while the Joelle earrings made it into one called Christmas Gifts. Isn't this exciting?

Winter collection

About a month ago, the Georgia bracelet was listed in a treasury called Winter Picture Ring Thoroughbred and I forgot to post about it because I was on my way out of the country for a weekend trip. This is one of my favourite bracelets because the large spinel nuggets are uncommon and I got them from a trip to Vancouver Island.

Orange is the new orange

There must be something in the air because another piece has been chosen for a treasury! The theme of this collection is apparent from its name, Wednesday Carnelian Bracelet, and the ARIA INDUSTRIES piece is the June. The orange stone is definitely a player, but the bright tropical blue apatites and large aqua chalcedonies are just as stunning:

Love for the other wrist

Wowzers! Just days after being selected for an Etsy treasury, the Georgia bracelet is being featured in another one! Spinel Bracelet 862 Honor was pulled together by Sue, who runs the shop Susie's Stash. Here's a look at her treasury:

Love around the wrist

The Georgia bracelet has been featured in an Etsy treasury called A Spinel Bracelet Change! The collection was curated by California glass artisan Uneek Glass Fusions and each item incorporates spinel:

Featured!

The Georgia bracelet has been chosen for a fantastically named Etsy treasury called The Red Snail wants to be a Futuristic Car. Thank you Il Mondo di Aracne!

Faerie good happenstance

Just a little bit of Etsyland news for this blog update... The Maurella earrings, named after a True Blood character, have been featured in a treasury! I particularly like the colour palette that GreenChairPress chose:

Treasury: Aura

I am pleased to report that the Aura earrings have been featured in an Etsy treasury called With none among them that ever sings... Here is a screenshot of the collection by Poppy & Purl:

Funny Dorota

Running a shop (aileen.etsy.com) means I get many messages from potential and previous customers and sometimes I save them for sentimental reasons. This one was kept because it was just bizarre - this woman had never ordered anything from me, got my name wrong, and the Dorota earrings had not been sold!

La vie en rose

The crowd favourite Paige earrings have been selected for an Etsy Treasury listing! The sterling silver chandelier components were purchased in Asia on a previous trip and I hope to pick up some more interesting finds this time around.



This blog will be updated semi-regularly while I am away. In the meantime, why not take advantage of the 15% discount off all items in the shop at aileen.etsy.com? Just use the code SHIPNOV152011 when checking out to steal the deal!

Crowned queen

The Maelle earrings, which were named after Maëlle Ricker (the first Canadian woman to win Olympic gold in home territory), have been selected for a treasury listing at Etsy! A big thank you to Mariana Romo-Carmona for picking these citrine, quartz, and tourmaline stunners!

Love for Venetia

I woke up this morning to a message from missPriscillaPomeroy and it said she had chosen my Venetia earrings for her Etsy Treasury listing! I love how the collection she curated has a soft vintage feel:

Treasury: Khairi

Etsy member Palmsprout created a treasury listing and chose my Khairi bracelet to showcase! I'm thrilled she picked one of my pieces and here is a screenshot of her listing:
