DISCOUNT: Taxes Shmaxes!

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Aren’t we all glad April 15th has passed!?!  If we’re not excited about a refund, we’re excited to have paid our dues and be moving on…or maybe we’re just excited to get the darn paperwork out of the way!

Me, Kim Werker, and Kari Chapin (author of The Handmade Marketplace) at Etsy in Brooklyn, NY.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I am offering a special discount through Tuesday, April 20th.  Just enter “Taxes Shmaxes” into the comment box when checking out for a 20% discount on ALL ITEMS!!  After that, you can do one of two things:

a) wait for a revised invoice BEFORE you pay.  It will appear in your email inbox, click it, then pay.

OR

b) go ahead and pay and we’ll refund your discount money right away!

maybe you wanna celebrate by eating chocolate bacon??

or maybe by treating yourself to a new Peruvian Opal necklace, full of light and spring. Free shipping too!!

We work with an awesome woman who specializes in the complicated numbers from musicians, artists, indie boutiques, etc.  She has done a stellar job with our taxes; she’s affordable, fair, and fun (and who can say that about their tax person)!  I recommend her to everyone I know.

I hope you all have a lovely, beautiful, sunny, inspired weekend.  I plan on it!

The following are available exclusively at Radish Underground for the month of December.  HOWEVER, I love them so much that I’m making variations for my own shop and upcoming shows.  And I look forward to expanding this Old Turns New line.  Please email if you’re dying for one of them and want something special.  I love custom work.

All of a Sudden.

Friday, February 27th, 2009

all of a sudden

You walk out of the house with your pretty shoes on and it starts to rain.  You play in the puddles any way.

You wake up and worry that you can’t remember what it is you were worried about.  You worry any way.

You find yourself where you’re not meant to be.  You play there any way.

You don’t know what to say.  You say it any way.

You’re no longer in love.  You’re loving any way.

You’re no longer heartbroken.

You’re no longer young.

You’re no longer old.

You’re no longer lost.

You are weak.

You are free.

You are love.

And you’re heavy.

Nothing and everything are exactly what they seem.

You are exactly who you say you are.

You are exactly who you wanted to be.

Light gets in.
