Why the Long Name?

It's been a few months now since I've merged my EmeraldCut shop name with my The Introverted Writer site, and am feeling positive about the change.  My shop and this blog are now known as: EmeraldCut | The Introverted Writer.  My main website, The Introverted Writer, showcases my writing qualifications and functions as an easier-to-remember site that provides links to my shop and this blog.  A deliberate choice, this joining of site names reflects my ever-growing body of work, from professional writing services to handmade jewelry and book page goods.  Most importantly, my qualifications as a writer/jewelry maker with a Master's degree is fully encompassed under this new shop title.  My shop url remains the same.  Abbreviated "EC | TIW," this professional name is long, but does indeed serve a credible purpose.

February: New Jewelry

I've added a few of these new designs to my shop already.  The others will be up by the end of the week in time for the Valentine's Day rush!  Domestic orders will be fulfilled ASAP if the item is not made to order, since 3-4 days are needed for USPS delivery.  Consider upgrading to Priority Mail for a quicker arrival time.

February Giveaway

I'm giving away this ornament tag that I created using thick upcycled sketchbook paper, modern Art Deco font stamps, and archival black ink.  It'll make a sweet bookmark, too--with a soft Valentine's Day aesthetic (no red coloration beyond the twine here).  To win this item, be the first person to convo me on Etsy, OR be my shop's first February order (update: congratulations to Gloria on being the giveaway winner).  Shipping is on me.  Happy February!
