There is little a cheerful website can offer in these challenging times. However, people like to receive cards; this was true before COVID-19 and now more than ever people appreciate a tangible greeting in this strange arms-length world. To that end, I'm offering a corona-care package: for every jewelry purchase, I'm enclosing three complimentary cards (with stamps!). The selection will be random but drawn from the card lines and card packages. Or, you can elect to purchase just three cards with stamps for $10, using the button below.

I have long made collages of images and quotations for myself and friends, and I combined this love of all things paper with the gift ideas for a new venture: gift packages with calendar stacks. A calendar stack is simply a stack of 30 or 31 cards, one per day, making a month pass a little easier. On the gift center page, there's a number of options for the theme (general, pregnancy, marriage, grief), duration (monthly shipments for a single month, 3 months, 6 months, etc) and jewelry add-ons.

I also created some card gift packages with themes near and dear to me: Lovely Literary, Scientific Method Spectacular, Take a Hike, The Artists' Eye and Egyptian Wisdom.

Though not intentionally, pendants are the focus of the latest jewelry items. Some are also listed in my Etsy shop ofgoodcheer though prices and terms are (should!) be the same. As always, I love gemstones set in sterling silver from SilverRocks, and I experimented with some fun patina brass drops.

I regularly add new items or swap out items on the gift-minded 20 under 30 and sub 60 pages. Twenty under 30 shows 20 jewelry items under $30 USD, and the price includes free gift wrapping and shipping - simply add the recipient information to the text fields before adding the item to the PayPal cart. Sub 60 is similar (items under $60 USD), though with more emphasis on semi-precious gemstones.
