Let's Get the Men Involved!

Okay ladies, so in addition to our Breast Cancer Awareness additions this month, we've got something pretty special coming your way.  We all know that every woman loves jewelry.  The only thing a woman loves more than jewelry is jewelry someone buys FOR her.  Am I right??  Especially if that someone is that special man in your life.  It doesn't have to be your hubby or your BF, though.  It could be your dad (I personally love getting jewelry from my dad!) or even your son or grandson.  The possibilities are endless!  

So here's what we're doing.  First, YOU should head to our Etsy site and pick out what you want.  Second, TELL him what you want.  Make him a list.  Shoot him an email.  Even like it on your Facebook and give him a little hint, hint!  And don't be shy girls...give him some options!  The only thing better than a sweet necklace is a matching pair of earrings and some hair flair right??  Third, give him the coupon code IWANTFLAIR.  Once we've processed his order, we will ship the jewelry AND send him his Amazon gift card!

Send him our way between October 17th and 21st and for every $50 he spends in our shop (on YOU!) he'll get a $10 Amazon.com gift card!  We want you girls to get something special, but we want to treat HIM too for being so attentive and thoughtful ;)!  So get shopping (and hinting!) and we'll look forward to seeing your manly men on our site soon!!

*The amount he spends in order to get the gift card is BEFORE tax and shipping costs are applied...

ADKOF Launch Weekend Giveaway!

So the time has come, dear fans!  That's right, the giveaway is officially open for entry.  We are so encouraged by the volume of you that have already officially submitted your entries, and we just about can't wait to really give this set to a deserving fan!  We are also excited about giving out our Launch Weekend Coupon Codes which will be 20% off your entire order (every single one of you who completes an entry will get one!).  So here's another look at what you're entering to win!

The first necklace is a 27 1/2" silver chain necklace with a mother of pearl inlaid cross.  The corresponding necklace, which can be worn together with the cross or separate, is crafted of freshwater pearls.  The earrings are simple dangles with freshwater pearls and silver celtic inspired crosses.  The Hair Flair is actually 2 pieces; one with a simple mother of pearl button, and the second a raw silk flower with a complimentary mother of pearl button in the middle. 

These pieces are all complimentary to each other, but are also neutral enough to be worn separately.  We are so excited to extend this opportunity to all of our loyal fans, as we are fully in love with these pieces and feel that they give everyone a clear sense of our design aesthetic. 

Here's How to Enter:

1)Go to www.theframedlady.com on Friday morning

2) Follow the instructions for the giveaway!

And that's all folks!

Good luck!  

P.S.-We are so confident that this launch weekend will be a success!  We've got a nice following so far, but if we can get the GFC followers list to 50+, we'll bump up that coupon to 30% for all entries!  Tell your friends!!!

Chemo Kumihimo

Bernice started her chemotherapy yesterday!  I just have to share this picture with our loyal ADKOF fans because when I got it on my phone, I just couldn't help but smile.  When I picture people going to chemotherapy sessions (which last anywhere from 4 to 6 hours sometimes), I picture sweats or jammies and no make up.  Not Bernice!  Here's what our beauty queen wore to chemo yesterday:

And yes, she's rocking one of the latest ADKOF designs that she got in the mail from me on Wednesday!  She decided that who better to market to than the chemo nurses, and how better to market than to actually sport our new designs.  She's a walking billboard  I told her that she looks like a page out of a magazine.  I might even send it somewhere because I think she looks practically angelic!

So if you're wearing an ADKOF design, you're wearing history in a nutshell.  Our family is wading through many milestones in our lives right now, so our inspiration for pieces a lot of the time comes from our experiences.  Who knows...you might just fall in love with one of Bernice's Chemo Kumihimo pieces (she's working on kumihimo bracelets while she sits through her sessions).  Kumihimo is an oriental style braid that you use a loom for.  Several of the beaded bracelets that I've already previewed here are kumihimo style.  Bernice decided to take advantage of her time by knocking out some jewelry designs!

We even picked up some materials to do some breast cancer awareness pieces in the month of October (National Breast Cancer Awareness Month), so we'll be putting those up pretty soon!
