Mini Me at GCT

Due to new regulations for fire safety, we redesigned our booth for Grand Central this year. Here's what it looks like:


Today is the last day of the show. Thank you so much to all of our customers for making it a success!

We have wholesale shows coming up in Atlanta and New York, and our new baby is supposed to come soon after the NY show. It'll be fascinating, as always, to see what nature has in mind.

Clarification...

Hi, Readers! Long time no blog, huh?

Well, I am very pregnant and Grand Central is in full-swing! I'm taking care of the kids, taking care of orders as they come in, making jewelry as necessary, and trying not to go into early labor!



During the holiday season especially, a lot of people try to make special requests. There is one special request that we often do honor, and that's the following: year of birth (or desired year on a coin), in a simple domed, drilled, polished and connected pendant or keyring made from your coin or ours (no other design work on special dates, though I am happy to answer questions about what pieces we have available in specific years). PLEASE NOTE: Going forward, the only way to get something like this is through us directly, not through any other store or website (www.madefromcoins.com is my website, and I can be contacted there: jessie@madefromcoins.com ).

If you have special requests, you, a retail customer, are welcome to come to me and ask me, but if you ask me and I say no, you won't have better luck when you ask my wholesale customers (stores or other websites). (Can you tell - I've been answering the same questions multiple times - from multiple askers - lately?)

Sorry for being cranky. It's just that time of the, um, year.

Thanks for all the business!!!
