Imagination to Creation Jewelry of North Muskegon
As some of you know, I am planning on going in a different direction regarding my jewelry creations. Therefore, I will be hosting several sales to liquidate my inventory. I began doing this following the holiday season last year and still find that I have A LOT of very nice pieces and necklace/earring sets in both gemstone and Swarovski crystal. This Saturday I will have a “Buy 1 – Get 1” sale. This means, in effect, you will buy one set or piece and get another of equal or lesser value absolutely free. What a great time to shop for Christmas gifts for the jewelry lovers on your list or for yourself. If you cannot make it to market this week for my sale, not to worry. This sale will continue on until my inventory is depleted.
Last but not least
If you would like to become a Friend of the Market for a suggested donation of $10.00, which entitles you to a free cup of coffee at every market you attend for a full year, please see me at the market this Saturday! We will also have Higher Grounds Coffee by the Cup for a suggested donation of $1.00.
