Brooch a Week

Brooch a Week, a group on Flickr.

I think I'm up for a new challenge this year! After fighting a mystery illness for the past 3 + years, I finally have a semi-diagnosis (that's as good as it gets right now) and medication. I'm feeling better and am actually able to work in my studio for more than a few minutes at a time! I loved doing RAW (ring a week) a while back - and Brooches are something I've always enjoyed making - SO..... Brooch a week it is! If you want to join the challenge, check out the flickr page. First brooch is due on Sunday, the 6th. Wish me luck!

LAST day to send me limericks!!!

It is the very last day to send me limericks....  So sad!
Here are a few new limericks from the very talented Caity!

There once was a girl who wore bonnets

She spent all her days writing sonnets

but then one cold day

the snow got in her way

so she wrote her last sonnet upon it!

There once was a lady who knew

she had something important to do

so despite others' doubts

and the touting of touts

with a spark her light grew and it grew!

Thank you Caity!!



Nevada  Variscite ring.  In my shop!



Anniversary!

Today is my official 6 year anniversary on Etsy!  It's hard to believe I've been on that site so long!
In celebration here are two more limericks - Thank you Season!
I'll be posting more limericks later - you still have time to send me your limerick!  I'll be accepting limericks until August 15th.

1.

BIG black onyx ring - to be listed in the next few days!

There once was a girl named McKay

who purchased a ring on eBay

but the ring was mass made

and she far overpaid,

so she came back to Etsy, okay?

2.

There once was a Meddler in metals

Whose trade was in magical rings

She hammered on metals

and set precious stones

(She was really quite good at these things.)

                                    ~Both limericks by Season


 

First Limerick(s)

The first 3 limericks are all from Lauren!  Thanks Lauren for the brilliance!

1. The most elegant cat in the world

          Always wore diamonds and pearls

          She was kind to mice

          And never played dice

          Her fur was all in ringlet curls


  2.    There once was a girl with a face


         That looked to be from outer space

         When she turned around

         Everyone frowned

        And threw up all over the place


  3.  There was a carnivore boy
      
       Who never ate any soy

       He ate lots of fish

       But sometimes he wished

      He could have a little bok choy

.


Happy birthday!

Lauren

LIMERICK.... LIMERICK.... LIMERICK!!!!!!!

Wow!  It's been an entire year (almost) since I've blogged!  yikes.

WELL...  Guess what time of year it is?!?!  Celebrating - 6 years of Etsy, The Festival of Lunasa and my birthday....  oh, and that's right!!  5 fantabulous years of LIMERICKS!!!

Time for my 5th annual limerick sale!

This year I'm doing things a bit differently.

THIS year, you can send limericks to me from August 1st through the 8th (my birthday! yay!) BUT I will be out of town.  (bad timing, I know).

With no cell phone service.  (yikes.)
Soooo....  this year, for every limerick you send to me, I will pick a "prize" out of a hat.  Prizes include such fabulous things as "free pair of earrings with any order" or "20% off your entire order" or even (gulp) "50% off your entire order".  Prizes could also include sucky things like "1% off your order"  or "Sorry, I'm going to have to add $500 to your order" (no, there's not one like that) BUT that's just so you'll send me more limericks.  I'm sneaky that way....  because if you DON'T like whatever I pull out of the hat, you just send me a new (remember, original and written by YOU) limerick and I'll pull something else out of the hat.

You have an entire month to cash in on your prizes (until Sept. 8th)!!  I have a ton of one of a kind items to add once I get home.  Don't forget to wish me a happy birthday because I'm a leo and like that kind of thing. heheh.

Remember, I'll be out of town until right before my birthday - so don't panic if you work for hours (sweating even) on a wonderful, cool, crazy, awesome (probably the best in the world) limerick.....  and then I don't respond.  I LOVE it, I promise...  I just haven't told you that it's the best in the world because I haven't read it.  yet. 

So pick up that pen and paper (computer, ipad, phone, kindle...) write...  sweat...  hit "send".  :)

To start sending me limericks, either post to my facebook page: Lunasa Designs, write to my email address LunasaDesignsJewelry@gmail.com, or convo me on my etsy page http://www.lunasadesigns.etsy.com/ - and if you're like me (super worried that my fabulous and brilliant creation will get lost out in cyber space somehow) send them to all 3!  I will post ALL limericks here (with just your first name) unless you think you would die of embarrassement (either suck it up, or tell me not to post it - I'm flexible).  ;)

The LAST limerick - for real this time....

A ring is a marvelous thing
To a hand it does elegance bring
Add a stone of a hue
That matches your mood
And it’s sure to make your heart sing!

Oops! Missed a couple of limericks!

These got caught in the spam folder!  If you have sent me a limerick and don't see it posted here, please contact me at Rebekah.meddles@gmail.com

Thank you Patricia for the next 2 limericks!


As summer comes to its end



It’s so nice to spend time with friends


Whether movies or lunch


...It’s more than a hunch


I wish I had more time to spend!

The very last Limerick....

This last limerick is from Steven...
{please let me know if you sent me a limerick and I didn't post it or give you your discount code - I may have missed some!}

There was an old man with a beard

 
Who said, "it’s just how I feared!


Two owls and a hen


Four larks and a wren


Have all built their nests in my beard.

...And more!

From fellow birthday celebrator Jen!



There once was a girl named Jen

 
Who was really no good with paper and pen.


Try as she might,


She just couldn't write.


And missed out on a really discount on a pair of earrings for her birthday.




.

More limericks!

There once was a boy who played hockey

 
So good it made him quite cocky.


But then he got cut


So what the puck?


Now he works as a jockey!



Thank you to my dear friend Doneta for this great limerick!!
