More fun limericks!

A girl from Texas was packing
But paused, as her cat was attacking
Boxes and tape, so she had to escape
And prove her poetry skills were not lacking. ;)

-Tatiana



There once was an artist named Luna.
She made jewelry all day to buy tuna.
She once made a ring
So bright and round with bling,
That she thought she'd made the Moon-ah!

~Roy

Thank you!!

Keep those limericks coming!!

One more limerick for today....

I can SO relate to this limerick.  From another artist and friend.

there once was a girl from hamtramck,
she had lots of things in her attic,
when push came to shove,
she looked up above,
shook her hands at the doves,
and tried not to panic

~Claire

Remember to write your limerick!  

This ring could be yours for 40% less moolah!  All you have to do is write a limerick!!

Limerick, Limerick, Limerick!!

Ok, so the title lies.  There are only 2 more limericks.

This one from my beautiful friend Jamie!

The beautiful work
By this beautiful soul
Will make the right jewel
Sparkle just right on your toe...


and my other beautiful friend Tammy (actually the first limerick of the year)

Let me start it out
No comment drought
Don't want you to pout
I wanna hear you shout
That is what this is all about!
(....If you're sick, I hope it's not gout!)

Another LIMERICK

This one makes me a little sad...  My good friend Lisa who got all of her lunasa designs jewelry stolen (among other things).  Makes for a good limerick though!  (gotta see the positive, right?)

There once was a girl from Burque,
whose house got broken into by a jerky.
He cleaned out her jewelry,
and musical instruments
but it could all be bought back with some workey.

Lunasa Designs

First LIMERICKS of this new year (for me)!!

Three limericks from the lovely Season (one of my very favorite customers/friend):

There once was a girl with a wish
to build campfires and cook lots of fish.
She would sleep in a tent, save a mint with no rent
and read books about Lillian Gish.

~

In a kingdom (I made up) called Rudy
lived a king who proclaimed no more beauty.
No pendants, no rings (which he deemed selfish
things). When he died, people cheered and wore rubies.

~

A woman immersed in desire
Dreamed of carnivals and gypsies and fire.
She fled late one night when the music was right,
changed her name from Deanne to Sweet Lyre.

I haven't written on my blog in forever but....

Well, I kind of lost all of my sign in information.  Yikes.  It's been a year already!?  How did that happen?  Good thing I figured out how to sign in and post because....  drumroll please....
8 days of limericks starts NOW! This 7th annual celebration of limericks marks my 8 year anniversary of selling on Etsy, 14 years of Lunasa Designs Jewelry, the Irish festival of Lunasa, AND my 40th (gulp) birthday. Make those limericks EXTRA good on August 8th (my birthday)!! I'll need all the laughter I can get.
This year will basically be the same as last year but with a BIG discount.  To mark my 40 years of being awesome, I'm giving a 40% off coupon to anyone that writes a limerick.  HUGE discount! 
Post your original (written by you) limericks on my facebook page, on twitter (@LunasaDesigns), send them to me in a convo on Etsy or to my email address... Or post them here in the comments.  Basically, any way you can find me.
You only get one coupon code BUT for every limerick you write you get your name put in a hat and at the end of the celebration (my Etsy anniversary on the 9th) I will pull 3 names from the hat and give YOU gifts!! Sound good?! good. Now go write those limericks! and find me! and show me the limericks. You have 8 days....

Karen T.
Emily & Tim
Megan M.

Send me your address and I'll send your prize out!  Thanks for another great year of limericks!!

Last of the Limericks!!

Wow!  Sorry for the delay!  I've been a little sick.  My son has been a little sick....  Amazing how a few days of "time off" can put me back a couple of weeks!
So....  Here they are....  (drumroll please)  The last of the limericks.  I will (finally) be pulling names from a hat later today.  Don't forget to use your limerick coupon (if you wrote a limerick) it was supposed to expire on the 16th (tomorrow) but I'm going to extend it until the 20th.
ENJOY!

The mother who lived in the shoe
Must have wanted an hour or two
To just read magazines
And to lounge like the queens
But to rest would result in a coup

~Megan

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

There was once a lady named Cara
Who yearned (like a burn with no aloe vera)
To fill her fingers with rings
That would make her heart sing!
(Even if tears of joy will ruin her mascara.)
 
"modern-day Gollum"
There was once a stranger on the Interweb
(just a nobody - certainly not a celeb)
But she wanted pretty rings
Oh, how they tugged at her heart strings
Her insatiable desire for shiny things shall not ebb.

~Caraleigh

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

and these 3 are from my good friends Emily and Tim (sorry guys, I had to leave the "x-rated" one out) Although you still seem to have plenty about squirts and spurts....   ;o)

2. I picked up my speed in a spurt
And ran and ran til it hurt
got weak in the knees
and let out a sneeze
but ended up having the squirts

3. I have a best friend named Tim
Who should move to Denver on a whim
I could see him daily
And we'd play so gayly
But sadly the prospect looks dim

4. There once was a wee little bird
Who stepped in an animal turd
I shouted alerts Of my dog's anal spurts
But my warnings that bird never heard

~Emily & Tim

And there you go!!  Last of the limericks (*sniff * sniff *) It's been fun!  I'll post the winners of the giveaway here and on my facebook page - so be sure to come back tonight or tomorrow morning!  If I happened to miss any limericks, please, please let me know so I can post them!

5th day of Limericks....

this week is rebekah's birthday
so it's time for a fun giveaway
if you make the words sing
you might win a ring
to celebrate her special day

Happy Birthday!

~CoolBeadsbyBootC

The rings caught my eye
Shiny silver with sparkly gem toppings

~Holly

One day he may come up missing
My Patience is thin
His outlook is grim
He's lucky he's so good at kissing;)

The pages so bright they are Popping
In the handmade scene

My cart's so full that it's Hopping

~Meghan W

Very first limerick of 2013!!

Or at least it's the first one I've found!!!

the owner of lunasa boutique
designed jewelry both rustic and chic
but with just one year until
she'd be over the hill
soon she too would look like an antique!

~Rachael Swiss

Thanks Rachael!!  I hope I don't look like an antique!!!

Guess what time it is?!? No... It's NOT Taco time.

You could win something like this!!!

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).  ;)
