March Shiny Sale! now extended until midnight Tuesday night....
Hey, it's good to be back doing Current Shinies. I love being back home at the workbench, however much I loved traveling and seeing people.
Sale is OVER now - thanks, everybody. Things go back to full price now.
Those of you who have ordered March Beads of the Month can combine shipping, so we'll save you a little money on that if you order anything from the sale. Daniel will calculate additional shipping as needed, and you can check with him at stitchandlioness@gmail.com on what the cost would be. (Generally, a pair or two of earrings added to a BotMo Great Big Magpie or Mother Of All Magpies order won't need any additional shipping, unless they're super-heavy earrings or something. Adding things to a Little Bitty Magpie will raise the shipping costs because we shift things from a padded envelope to a box, so you'd pay the difference there. Oh, and there are some March packages left, in case you'd still like to buy one. Check here: "Here Comes the Sun.")
Copies of Glass Bead Games, the anthology:
There are still copies of Glass Bead Games available; they are $25 plus shipping. This is the cool anthology of stories and poems and essays sparked by Lioness shiny things. Contains this year's Hugo award-winning short story "Tideline" by Elizabeth Bear, plus two other Bear stories, three Sarah Monette stories, some Jane Yolen poetry, an introduction by Lois McMaster Bujold, and more. Also contains photographs of many of the necklaces from which these pieces took some inspiration. Limited edition of 300 numbered copies, and when they're gone, they're gone... and there are fewer than ninety copies remaining.
Named bracelets:
...none just now.

... "Her Grace the Baroness of Dwarrow" hairstick: labradorite, sterling silver, wood.

Links for the rest of these are coming now, as I get the photos taken.

Shipping elsewhere is usually only a couple of dollars higher; please ask Daniel for a quote.

We accept PayPal, checks, money orders, and sometimes we even take large parcels of food from Singapore or other goodies in trade.
Thank you for looking at my shinies. Daniel will be sending the rest of the invoices out shortly.
