Holiday Gift Guide for Dads and Dudes

I am a born gift giver. I love giving gifts and I love the holidays because it is just another reason to give gifts. Also, I love supporting handmade and small businesses, as you know. So for the next month, I am going to try to do one of these a week. Enjoy!

Final Holiday Sale

Well folks, this is the last hoo-rah. A kick in the pants of Christmas, for all you late bloomers, busy bees and last minute planners like me. We are offering most of our sunglasses at a discounted price for the next 2 days. When a style is gone, it's gone until after Christmas. We will relist all of our styles after the 25th (since we will be stocking up for the move so we have sunglasses on hand.)

You can get our red and black his & hers set for only $95.

You can get our rainbow patchwork sunglasses for $60. There are 3 listed, so snatch those up before they sell out!

And finally, you can get our coveted Pee Wee sunglasses for $62.00. American Walnut is on sale for these two days also, for $62.00 and the lovely zebra wood is on sale for $60.00. There are also 3 available of the zebra's!

I hope you're not tired of me hyping up our sunglasses! I love them so much, I want to make sure they are available to make anyone's Christmas / holiday season amazing and sweet! Plus, we need all the extra sales we can get for this big move!!!

Share the love!

This and That // Vol 2

Back again with volume 2 of our Unofficial Holiday Shopping Guide. If you missed the first edition, I am making totally biased suggestions for your holiday shopping. It's all stuff that I love and think would make amazing gifts, paired up with a pair of our sunglasses. (insert shameless self promotion here) So I hope you love the things that I have picked out.

If you have any suggestions for me, or you want your product to be featured in our Unofficial Holiday Shopping Guide, email me at tumbleweeds.shop{at}gmail{dot}com. I only plan on featuring things that I totally love, but I don't know about everything that exists in the world, so shoot me an email!

I am totally sick again. I was starting to get well, and then last night, Doug was this close to taking me to urgent care. I couldn't stop coughing, and I am prone to getting pneumonia, but after a shot of Nyquil couch syrup and some pills (which by the way, it has been years since I took cold medicine, but totally needed it...) I feel asleep and slept until 10am!

We are working at home today getting everything ready to ship out for the shop! And we are hoping to go see The Rum Diaries tonight. Hope you have a great Halloween!

Do Gooders

I am pretty sure I could talk about my friend Danielle for days and hours and weeks and years. She is hands down one of the most talented jewelers I know of, and the fact that she is a legitimately good person helps too. I personally own, and wear on a daily basis, several dinosaur toes pieces, my favorite is similar to this but with citrine, my new favorite gem! Now, I'm not just writing about her jewelry for no good reason other than to gush about the beautiful things she makes. There is a purpose.

From now, until November 18th, 15% of every purchase will be donated to the Rachel Horton Compassionate Care Fund to help provide life saving treatments to animals in need. You know how much of an animal lover I am, so this stuck out to me especially. Here is the story, from Danielle's blog. "on april 8th of this year, chris' second cousin, rachael horton, and her husband, aaron, were killed in a tragic apartment fire. although emotions are still raw, and their deaths are no easier to accept, their memory continues to live on through the legacy they left. rachael was a lifelong animal lover who gave money from her own paycheck to help pay for treatments that could save an animal's life when their owner couldn't afford it. after her death, the rachael horton compassionate care fund was set up in her memory to continue making her dream a reality."

So to go along with my goals of only purchasing Handmade for the Holidays (more on this to come) here is another amazing handmade artist who is not only good at what she does, but she's a do gooder too. And you cant really ask for much more than that. Please share this with your friends and family, because every piece you buy, you can know that an animal's life will be saved. Things like that make life good.
