Promotion for readers of my blog - 20% off

I'm running a promotion from today until the end of July 2009 in my online stores- Vintage Jewelry Lane - Vintage Jewelry Mall - The Finishing Touch Vintage Jewelry. (the code won't work in my ebay store. Ebay has no way to give discount codes.)

This coupon code is only available for readers of my blog or those on my newsletter mailing list. If you enter the coupon code july3255 (all one word) into the area for vouchers when you check out, you will receive a 20% discount on your purchase price. The voucher can be used as often as you like until July 31, 2009.

The coupon code works automatically for Vintage Jewelry Lane and Vintage Jewelry Mall. For my Ruby Lane customers, you will need to mention the code when you purchase, and I'll adjust the price when I get the purchase order. (please wait for my adjusted cost for the Ruby Lane Store before paying to get the discount)

Also - if your purchase is more than $100, I also offer free shipping. (this will be done automatically during checkout.)

If you would like to be notified of my newest listings an promotion offers by email, you can join my weekly newsletter mailling list. Just email me and I'll be happy to add you to the group.

Here are some sneak peeks, or you can go the stores through the links in the first paragraph to see the full selection.

Have fun shopping and save 20% until July 31!

No jewelry news from me today. I just wanted to wish you all a happy, peaceful and prosperous new year.

For the month of January 2009, readers of my blog can use the following coupon code January2987 (all one word) to get 20% off any purchase from Vintage Jewelry Lane, or Vintage Jewelry Mall

Time for the resolutions again. I am making the one I always seem to make - to be moderate in all things that I do.

What do you resolve to do?
