IT'S BEEN FOREVER

It seems like it's been forever since I posted last. Life got in the way, and now I have to pay the piper. I've so much to catch up on.

One thing I've accomplished is finally renovating my shop called www.goldcrestdesign.etsy.com. It has been a long time since I put in new items, but that has now changed. Gold Crest Design has accessories such as hair accessories, flowers and much more to come. Just so you get a taste here are a few items.

I've had to catch up with www.goldcrestbags.etsy.com as well.

Soo, I made a line of mini clutches that are perfect for the upcoming holiday season. They also will make a great gift for someone special (especially since the price is right). Here are two just to whet your appetite.

DEAL OF THE DAY ON ETSY

With the holidays coming up very quickly, we all appreciate discounts more than ever.
It is worth everyones while to check on the Deal Of The Day on Etsy. Just look for DOTD. There are some really great items that I'm sure you'd appreciate.

A DOLL GUIDE - FOR EVERY POCKET

Dolls mean different things to different people. There is a large and varied collection of "dolls" on etsy. There are show dolls, stuffed animals, characters and cuddly dolls that live every day with their playmate. The prices vary from $7.20 to $425.
I hope there is something here for you. Next month I will do another doll guide, so keep looking.

I've just listed the first in a series of bags (evening, formal, elegant, bridal, great, etc), that is suitable for many different special occasions. It is also very practical as there are pockets large enough f or your most personal and valuable items. The bag measures 13" x 5". It is THE finishing touch to almost anything.
