Mothers Day is the perfect chance to get the moms in your life gifts that say thanks - I mean, seriously, who do we owe more than the woman that brought us into the world, unless perhaps it's the woman who is the mother of our children. So you can wait till a few days before Mothers Day and then run to Walmart and get some token gift that doesn't really say much except that she was an afterthought (been there, done that, sorry Liz), or you can place an order with me now to make something as unique as she is, that says you appreciate her in a personal way. Plus, these things take time to make, so your forethought will be obvious too.
So here are the terms:
$10 off of any bowl, limit 10 bowls,(place order by Apr. 11 for a segmented bowl, Apr. 18 for other turnings.)
$20 off of a Salt and Pepper Grinder set (Place order by Apr. 11)
$10 off of a Salt and Pepper Shaker Set (Place order by Apr. 18)
$10 off of any pen from the "Design Your Pen" page (place order by Apr. 18)
To cash in on this offer, don't use the "Order Now" buttons on my individual items - email me with your order and I'll send you an invoice. Thanks!!

Wizarding School House Wands
For the young witch or wizard, there is no more anticipated moment than the sorting - in the first few minutes at wizarding school, you find which house will be like your family while you receive your magical education. For those of daring nerve and chivalry, a ruby-patterned handle is just the wand for you. Emerald-marbled handles go well with those who like snakes, and won't be left behind. Maybe you're a top-grade student - the sapphire handle may be just the thing for you. Or if you're hard working and loyal, or maybe you just like badgers - go for the citrine handle.
My personal projects always take a backseat to customers, so I'm thrilled to have this one done. Turning acrylics was a bit of a stretch for me, where I've always stuck to solid woods before, but the results are stunning. Which wand chooses you? Click on a handle below to see details for that wand.
I've been excited about this project for a long time. As usual, my personal projects take a back-seat to customers, so I'm thrilled to finally have these done.
