Nov Wrap-up/Dec Preview

Tis the season for all things shiny, bright, and beautiful--like jewelry! 

Hello friends,

I hope the holiday season has arrived at your home, bringing with it family, friends, and happiness. Over at KMA Jewelry, I continue to work hard creating new pieces of jewelry and making my products more visible on social media. November has felt like a whirlwind with everything that's been going on!

The KMA Jewelry Facebook and Instagram accounts have been busy during November. We ran our "In The Wild" contest, asking customers to post photos of themselves wearing their KMA Jewelry pieces. The contest is open until 11:59 pm on Thursday, November 30, so there's still time to enter to win free jewelry. Post your photos on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter--or email them to us--and tag them with #kmainthewild and you'll be entered into the raffle. The winner will be announced Friday, December 1.

We celebrated Real Jewelry Month on November 11 and posted some new jewelry on November 13. We also shared two more Product Spotlights: one on the Amethyst and Tanzanite Mandorlas Earrings and one on the super handy Sterling Silver Infinity Eyeglasses Holder. The blog and the website have been a hub of activity! Never miss a blog post by subscribing to the KMA Jewelry blog. Click any of the links in this paragraph, then scroll to the bottom of the page that appears in the web broswer, and click the "Subscribe via email" link above the comment box. Otherwise, check the blog often to see what we're up to!

I made the decision that KMA Jewelry would not participate in Black Friday sales; as you know, I did participate in Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday. I was pleased to offer a variety of discounts as well as donate a portion of the proceeds from my sales on Tuesday to the Samfund (an organization that helps cancer survivors pay their bills and provides medical-financial education) and the Ehlers-Danlos Society (an organization the raises funds for research and support of those living with EDS.)

I had an autumn filled with wonderful shows and wonderful people. Special thanks go to the women of the First English Lutheran Church for welcoming yet another year of vendors to their annual harvest fair. Very recently, I've made some connections that are especially meaningful to me, and I'm truly grateful for this opportunity to build new relationships and support a healthy community, both here in my hometown and across the country.

I'm looking forward to making numerous gifts for the various holidays in December--Saint Nick's, Human Rights Day, Hanukkah, the Winter Solstice, Festivus, Christmas, Kwanza, Boxing Day, and New Year's Eve. If you're looking for a gift for any of these holidays, birthdays in December, other special occasions, or as a treat for yourself for all you do to make the holidays season special for others, please consider KMA Jewelry for intuitively designed and skillfully crafted jewelry. We will be annoucing our December sales in just a few days.

I'd like to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued support--whether through kind words, following me on social media, or purchasing jewelry, I certainly wouldn't know the kind of success I do without YOU. I wish you and your loved ones a happy holiday season filled with delicious treats, a drink or two, and beautiful jewelry.

With love and warmth,
Karen
