50% off at MLC Designs Website

Enjoy 50% off fall designs at my newly relaunched website. Sale ends soon!

I hope that you are all enjoying this season - I am forcing myself to appreciate simple things - walks with no hurry, flowers by the bed, a great cup of coffee, a peaceful day.

Here are a couple of new items, just added to my etsy shop, cargoh shop and website. One is somewhat familiar - my music necklace, but it is now on an oxidized chain that has been polished with steel wool before being tumble polished (a different effect from being brushed). The other item features my signature gemstone wrapping with tiny multicolor spinel rondelles - love!

Changes!

I am excited and proud to announce that my work has been accepted by Cargoh, a juried marketplace for the independent artist! Music, clothing, art and jewelry are featured, as well as lots of other great stuff. I hope that you will check out my shop!

A note about mariecarter.com and ~TAKING THE SUMMER OFF SALE ~ CONTINUES

After being a wonderful venue for shoppers to find my work for just under 5 years, the time has come to close the mariecarter.com store. The reasons for this change are many - the main cause being the programming challenges that maintenance of the store requires. I much prefer to design and create rather than work on programming. Additionally, traffic to my etsy and 1000markets shop is at least 10 times the traffic to the original web store.

As always, you can still find me at etsy or 1000markets. Through etsy, all forms of payment, including PayPal, are accepted. At 1000markets, Amazon Payments is the method available.

Currently, all of the items listed in my etsy shop are marked down by at least 50% + free domestic shipping! You can also purchase through my very new Bixbe outlet. I have attached a couple of links to sale items below:


I'm Selling This:
Simple Circles Ne...$37.00

I'm Selling This:
Simple Circle Bra...$48.00

I look forward to listing wonderful pieces for the fall in late August.

Happy Summer!

~TAKE THE SUMMER OFF SALE~

I will be taking the summer off and plan to have wonderful new jewelry pieces ready for the fall. Until then, please enjoy deeply discounted (40%-50% off original prices) works of art and complimentary domestic shipping at my etsy shop - Happy Summer!

SPRING 2010 Designs

I always enjoy the "fresh start" feel of Spring. I have posted new designs at my shops, both here and here, as well as on my website. As always, I focus on clean lines with occasional pops of color. All bracelets work well in multiples together and I am somewhat fascinated with the bold wire-wrapped ring (especially since I got my hands on some exceptional lapis and amazonite this year!). There will also be one or two long necklaces added to the collection. Most designs will be limited to 2 or 3, so if you like something, grab it when you see it!

Both domestic and international shipping is free on my website - enjoy!

Psst - all domestic purchases at my etsy shop ship free - HAPPY SPRING!

Gift of Spiral Earrings with Purchase

I hope that everyone is having a great long weekend! I invite you to enjoy a free pair of spiral earrings (that go with absolutely everything) with any purchase of $50 or more at any of my shops - etsy, 1000Markets or my original site. This special will end on February 28th. Simply mention seeing this message on the blog and you will receive one pair (pictured).

Have a wonderful week!

Remember the OUTLET!

Remember to check out the final sale items in the outlet this week! All of these treasures will be removed from my shop on Sunday, January 31st.

Cleaning out !

As I worked this past weekend, I came across a box of cabochons that I purchased but never used. I have made these gems available on my destash shop on etsy, mlcroots. Please check them out if you are interested in getting some wonderful stones as ridiculously low prices!

I have also loaded some new designs on my 1000markets shop, my etsy shop and my website. I hope that you enjoy viewing them (I had fun with my new nikon;) )

Have a great week!

2010!

I love the "fresh start" feeling to a new year! 2010 feels even more fresh because we are not only welcoming a new year, we are welcoming a new decade! Let's make this one the best!

With 2010 comes some new designs. I hope that you enjoy them - I loved making them :)

Please enjoy 10% off any new design pictured here or at my etsy, 1000markets or http://mariecarter.com sites. Simply mention this blog post and you will be refunded the discount via your method of payment. (OUTLET items are not eligible for this promotion).
