Elegant EarCuffs by Fiona is at Christkindlmarkt in Bethlehem, PA, Nov-Dec 2016

Christkindlmarkt is one of the Top 5 Christmas festivals in the nation. I am thrilled to be a part of this event which, in addition to retailers and artisans like myself, also features ice sculpting, Christmas entertainment, festive delights to eat and drink, carol singers and of course, Santa Claus. Most of the event is held inside huge tents/canopies, so don't worry about the weather.

There is a different layout this year. In the past retailers were in one tent and artisans and the stage with entertainment were in the other. This year there are 3 tents. As you enter, the first has buy/sell vendors. The second and third tents have hand crafted items from folks like myself. You can visit the Artsquest website for details on directions, artisans, pricing (great discount on seasonal pass) and more.

I'm in Booth 112 in the 2nd tent, along with Santa Claus.  (I wonder if Mrs Claus would like some ear cuffs ??)


  



Below is a layout of the 3 tents and the location of Elegant EarCuffs by Fiona:


I'm having a lot of fun showing ladies how to wear ear cuffs. They are comfortable, secure, and the perfect gift for anyone who can't wear pierced earrings because of allergies, or torn or split ear hole piercings. 

Here are some pics of some happy customers:

This pair have many colors, so a very versatile design. The look fabulous with her hairstyle.

Sterling Silver, 14K Gold and Swarovski Pearls are featured here. She pulled her hair back, and WOW!

This lady was already wearing hoop earrings. The ear cuffs work well with the hoops and complete her look.

Here are the dates and times for Christkindlmarkt:

Steelstacks, Bethlehem, PA
November 25-27, 2016
December 1-4, 8-11 & 15-18, 2016
Thursdays & Sundays 11 am - 6 pm
Fridays & Saturdays 11 am - 8 pm


I hope to see you there. 

I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and a Happy Holiday Season.

Oktoberfest and Ear Cuffs

I'm excited to be a part of the Oktoberfest in Bethlehem, PA which starts this coming weekend, Friday, Sept 30th - Sun October 2nd and Friday Oct 7th - Sun October 9th.

You'll find my display in the Kunstler Market.

Read THIS GREAT ARTICLE on all the activities, food and of course the beer.

I've been working on some new designs, especially to promote the Autumn colors, and am getting ready for the Holiday buying season.  Here are a few of my new designs:

Drop ear cuffs in sterling silver and 14K gold filled beads
Drop design in sterling silver and 14K gold filled beads

Autumn Drop Ear Cuffs
Made with Freshwater Pearls and Czech crystals and leaves on sterling silver wire

A touch of Autumn Colors

Of course, no pierced ears are needed. They're comfortable to wear and a protective coating prevents the sterling silver and polished copper from tarnishing, and there's no skin sensitivity.

You can always buy from my shop at elegantearcuffs.com, but I do have many more designs available to you at local events.

To be updated on festivals in the PA - NJ - MD area, join my mailing list. I only send out a handful of emails a year and offer special promotions as well. Click here to sign up.

If you see a design but would like to tweak it a little, just let me know at fiona@elegantearcuffs.com. The design below is one I offer on my website with a touch of holiday red and greens about it. A customer of mine liked the idea but wanted it in shades of blue, green and teal.

Mission accomplished!

Etsy Wholesale Invites Retailers To Order From Elegant EarCuffs by Fiona


          

Elegant EarCuffs by Fiona was recently accepted into Etsy Wholesale, a marketplace where independent retailers can discover unique products from vetted artists and designers. Retailers can select from an expansive pool of items ad connect directly with sellers, view site web-based line sheets, and submit purchase orders. Proof of a business establishment is required as wholesale pricing is offered and orders must meet volume dollar requirements.

I am very excited about this move forward in my business. There are many ladies who choose not to or cannot wear traditional ear jewelry, and these are a comfortable and elegant alternative. Retailers in the Philadelphia region can contact me for a personal introduction to my designs and the possibility of local promotions.

Read the Press Release on my wholesale business here.

You can view my Line Sheets and the current wholesale designs available made of some of my most popular designs here. Here's a screen shot below.
