Lucky Girl Trading Sale & Giveaway

The global financial crunch has reached Lucky Girl Trading's home; Mr. LuckyGirl was notified that he's being permanently laid off. And no, LuckyGirl is not giving him away--he's a keeper! In true Lucky fashion, he's been taking advantage of his extra free time and is putting his metalworking and jewelry-making skills to good use.

For his first line of jewelry for Lucky Girl Trading, LuckyGirl told him what sort of earrings she'd like them to make, and he took her idea and ran with it. He's been testing out both fine silver and sterling, hammering earwires, soldering tiny tubes, and hand-coiling and soldering tiny springs.

These earrings and more of Mr. LuckyGirl's creations are now available in the precious metal jewelry section at Lucky Girl Trading on Etsy. They'll be adding more items often, so check back every few days to see what's new.

To help kickstart the new pieces, Lucky Girl Trading is offering these earrings to you at 25% off! The regular price is $20 per pair, but if you make a purchase by September 30 and put "blog kickoff" in the notes to seller during checkout they'll take $5 off.

They're also going to give away the winner's choice of any pair of Mr. LuckyGirl's earrings! Get all the details on Lucky Girl Trading's Blog . Entries will be accepted through September 30, 2009.
