Wow! Great mail day! :)

Who doesnt love a good mail day?!

A few weeks ago I won a beautiful artisan bead set
from The Classic Bead on Etsy - This is what I won!: 



I fell in love with everything that she makes, so
of course I put in a big order!!
Here are a few of the pretties that I chose from her lovely shop:



There's many more where that came from!
I bought quite a few and she has many more in her shop :)

I also got 7 different shades of Irish waxed linen - beautiful!

Go check out The Classic Bead:

Also, stay tuned to Tumblestone's Etsy as well.... I will
be adding some lovely jewelry made with these pretties soon!

Winter Bridal Earrings

I have absolutely fallen in love with
this stunning pair of earrings!

Without much thought, this is Tumblestone's favorite new
jewelry piece of the week!

They would look perfect on a winter bride or even to accessorize 
that little black dress - I will be releasing a small number 
of these earrings, at the moment there is only
this one pair!



The sleek brass earwires complement the wire wrapped frosted
Preciosa faceted glass drops so nicely
and look at that cut in the glass!


Love this pair too? 
Are you afraid that your ears are too sensitive for blackened brass?
Test out Tumblestone's 100% Money Back Allergy Free Guarantee when you
switch out the earwires for niobium. 
Read about it in Tumblestone's policies which can be found HERE, near
the bottom of the page.

WIX - My experience so far

Some of you may have seen in your Facebook News Feed, 
an ad for an easy way to build your own website using templates
over at WIX.

I was looking for an affordable way to have my own nice and
professional looking website for my business so I decided to check it out. 
So far I am super pleased with it! 

I dont know much about building websites, let alone anything to do with
"behind the scenes" type of stuff to do with computers
and the internet, so when I saw how easy it really was and that it
is fairly inexpensive - even to upgrade to Premium - I decided to try it out.

As some of you may know, I will be splitting Tumblestone up
in to two separate entities in the coming new year - This blog, The Tumblestone Facebook Page and 
of course the super pretty Etsy Shop will remain "Tumblestone" but the name will
slightly change to "Tumblestone Studio" and will only be my beautiful jewelry.

I will be growing my custom sewn business as it has been so 
successful and it will have it's own name - Which is a secret for now!
Once it launches, it will have it's own Facebook page, blog, Pinterest, Twitter and Website - and
that's where the WIX site comes in! 

I am so happy with how easy the WIX site has been, I'm finding it quite similar to
using Blogger templates - but a little more fun!
I bought my own domain name from GoDaddy and hooked it up to my new site
which was super easy and have been steadily working on it - making it
exactly what I had envisioned - This dream is becoming a reality and I am SO excited 
and having so much fun watching it unfold and grow!

I wont be launching it until my custom sewn wait list has been whittled down
quite a bit more - It's currently sitting at about 3 1/2 months long - So it will be
awhile yet! But in between sewing away, creating jewelry and building my new site, I
have been trying to tie up loose ends, such as purchasing my new sew in labels with my brand
name and website on them - I researched this quite a bit and decided to go
with RememberWynn on Etsy - they have some neat, different and fun 
labels, I cant wait until they come so I can actually brand my creations properly :)

Does anyone have any advice they can give me for starting up
a new website or branding? 
Do you have any good sites that you can point me to with resources 
or anything I may need for my business?

So far I still need a logo and business cards - I'm sure a lot more...

Look what I won!!

I love to enter little giveaways now and then
when I see something that I would really like to win. 

Last week I saw one moving down the ticker on my Facebook feed,
a friend of mine had entered so I went to go have a look at what it was. 
It was lovely! 

Tracee Dock of  The Classic Bead was giving away this 
beautiful set of hand crafted beads:


And I won them!!!

I had never heard of The Classic Bead before, so I went over
to her Etsy shop and immediately fell in love with so many pieces.
I love to create jewelry from artisan made components 
and I have been looking for something different in addition
to the hand blackened brass jewelry I make - So I put in a big order
to be shipped with my winnings!

Go have a look at her beautiful things!

Thank you Tracee!!

Allergy Free Guarantee!

Have you fallen in love with a pair of Tumblestone earrings but are worried that your 
ears are too sensitive, wondering if it would just be a waste of money since 
you cant seem to wear "anything but gold"?

Niobium, which is the most hypoallergenic metal available - Yes - even more 
hypoallergenic than GOLD (certain karats)! The most sensitive people can't even 
wear 10k gold since there is too much alloy in it. 
24k is great but very expensive and quite soft.

Niobium makes the perfect earwire as there have been no reports 
of allergic reactions and while moderately expensive, still 
much cheaper and harder than gold.

If you have sensitive ears and think you have little choice and fear 
an allergic reaction, I would like to invite you to test my hypoallergenic guarantee. 

For a small charge of $3 (since niobium has a larger price tag) 
I will switch out ANY earwires in Tumblestone's jewelry collection 
with niobium wires upon request (some are already niobium - it will say in the description in store), 
if you have a reaction to the wire I will give you a 100% money back guarantee!

That is how confident I am that you will love them and not get any reactions 
using the niobium wires - most have never heard of it - it's time you have! 
You have choices out there! 
You dont have to stick to gold! 
You can get any pair that you want and can slap a niobium wire on them! 
You dont have to feel so stuck :)

For info on Tumblestone's Niobium Allergy Free Guarantee,
 read about it in the shop policies in the link below. 
You can find it in the section "additional information".
