Seen!!!

Ever had one of those moments, when you just want to squeal??  Well, Sunday night was one of those moments (and a happy dance followed it :)) 

Sunday night was the 2012 Logie Awards.  For those of you who are reading that aren't from Australia (or have lived under a rock), the Logies is the one night when Aussie TV and soapie stars frock up and receive some lovely gold statues in recognition for entertaining us.  Kinda like the Emmy's, but Aussie style.

This year, the lovely Rebecca Breeds, who plays Ruby in Home and Away sashayed down the red carpet wearing a fabulous dress by designer Siobhan de la Harpe and finished off her look wearing none other then  a pair of our Neon Filigree Earrings from the Rainbow Brite range!!!!!!!!!  The excitement was a tad hard to contain.    And she looked fabulous :)

So much more exciting happenings with Marika King Designer Jewellery and the Lovely Sparrow and Co. coming soon.

On Friday, Lovely Sparrow & Co has been asked to exhibit some pieces at the Finders Keepers to represent Etsy!  Another exciting moment, as Etsy has got to be my favourite website, and to be asked to represent them is a dream come true.  Pictures to follow after the event :)

I love Etsy and Etsy loves me this week.

I love Etsy.  I've loved Etsy for years and year.  But this week I finally got some love back in the form of getting on front page!!  The first one was exciting, but within days my ranges made it to front page 3 times!  The Neon Filigree Earrings and the Turquoise Large Filigree Necklace from the new Rainbow Brite range were showcased on the front page as well as the cute Sweetheart Ring from Lovely Sparrow & Co.  So exciting!

On a side note, comedian and TV presenter Aleisha McCormack is wearing the Silver Circular Braided Collar Necklace as well as the Neon Filigree Earrings here at an Oscar party.  Aleisha, who's show How To Get Rich opens this week has taken a pledge to wear Australian designers, and she is really unearthing some fabulous designers.  Hopefully she may be spotted wearing some more of my designs in the near future :)  You can check out her blog, Love Local Fashion and see for yourself how talented us Aussies are!

HUGE SALE!!!!

Yes, I'm having the biggest sale ever on my etsy shop!! Why, you might ask? Well, bit of a long story, but here it is in a nutshell. When I first signed up to etsy, I didn't intend to sell on there, I just intended to buy so I just used the same id as I had for ebay (didn't need to confuse my little brain with yet another id!). Anyway, after some time I decided to give it a go and sell, and it's been quite successfull in the year I have been doing it. But I've been using a meaningless, hard to remember id!! Now that I want to take my business to the next leve, the decision was, do I stay with a meaningless, hard to remember id, or do I (sadly) lose all my hearts and ratings and bite the bullet to start a new shop with an id people will remember? So yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm slowly closing down http://www.mking43.etsy.com/ and starting up http://www.marikaking.etsy.com/, which fits in perfectly with my brand name Marika King Designer Jewellery.

So I'm trying to get rid of all my stock in my old shop so I don't have to re-input it into my new shop, I'd like to start afresh.

All sale stock is at cost!! All other stock is either at wholesale price or below, so either way, every item in the store is at a ridiculously low price. Some of these items retailed at more then $100 in boutiques!!

So feel free to take a peek adn see if there is anything that tickles your fancy. Here are a few things that are on offer:

And if you like what you see, why don't you visit the new store http://www.marikaking.etsy.com/. Lot's of exciting new pieces coming in the next few months as I'm busy creating my new range!!
