Just a quick note to say THANK YOU to everyone for a wonderful (and busy) holiday shopping season.  I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend, a marvelous Christmas and a killer Kwanzaa (it was the 26th, for those of you who don't know).  Happy New Year to all and to all a great 2011!  And with that I would like to leave you all with a hilarious picture of our dog, Trixie.  

She sends doggie New Years Kisses to everyone.

I admit that this is my favorite time of the year.  Maybe the exhilarating first days of summer and the crisp first days of fall can compete, but the holiday season is by far the best period in my book.  'Tis the season to give, laugh, love, cherish and of course drink hot cocoa- no matter the holiday you celebrate come December.  I myself am a Christmas girl and don't need much more than a fireplace, hot cup of tea and fuzzy socks to make me happy these days.

Celebrate how you want, but here's a hint...

This November we are celebrating Storia’s first birthday.  It was just last October when we got our Etsy shop up and running and last December when we finished putting up the first version of thestoriaproject.com.  Hard to imagine it’s already been a year… and funny to think that it’s only been a year.  I guess time flies when you’re having fun.All month long we’ve got some little “thank you” slash “birthday” sales going on, all revolving around 10%, because it’s our first brithday. If you’re getting ready for some holiday shopping our birthday party is right in time.

First off, all Storia GIFT CERTIFICATES are 10% off for the entire month!  Give the gift of choice, or hipness, as we humbly advise.

Next, we’ve got rotating weekly sales featuring a different product at 10% off every week.  You have to catch ‘em before they’re gone though:

November 1-10: TRUCKERS 
November 11-17: UPCYCLED SACKS 
November 18-25: All LEATHER, this means BELTS & CUFFS
November 26-30: FEATHER DANGLERS

Apart from these birthday sales open to everyone, if you’ve been a customer in our first year of business you will receive an email with a special, personalized code that entitles you to an EXTRA 10% off anything in the store from now until January 1st, 2011.  It’s just a little thank you for helping us take off.

More news on sales on the way as well as reflections on our first year in movement, online at least.  It’s a month-long celebration and everyone’s invited!

Yes, it is truly an amazing time of the year.  We are currently in the midst of some more moving around and vacation planning which strangely coincides with the end of a huge wave of new products.  What is the sum of this equation?  FREE SHIPPING.

Until February 15th you will receive free shipping on every order made through our ETSY SHOP no matter how big (or small) your final check out is.  This offer is extended only to addresses inside the USA, but if you find yourself across the seas just send us an email and we'll work out a similar discount for you, specific to your location.  So take advantage of the love, spread the love, love like crazy, and all other activities involving the "L" word- it is getting close to Valentine's Day anyway!

Yesterday I sold my first trucker on Etsy!  I was so excited that I started screaming and I spent a good couple minutes jumping up and down like a little girl with Federico (mostly just me jumping- him staring).  He asserted that if we didn't celebrate immediately it would "porta male" (bring bad luck) so, as you can imagine, we took care of that really quickly and had a couple glasses of wine in that very moment.  I've only had my shop up for four days and already I have to work out shipping details. My work is starting to keep me on my toes and I like it!


Yesterday was also my dad's birthday.  We've lived across the Atlantic  from each other for over six years so I have had to become more and more creative with finding new ways to send my birthday wishes.  This year I made a powerpoint presentation with a type of birthday card message, lots of inside jokes, and tons of hilarious photos.  What came out in the end was something that (in my humble opinion) was very awesome.  I was so incredibly proud of myself.  The problem was that I'm a bit technology stupid so I spent half the day trying to send it to him.  So, between celebrating the hat sale and continuing to upload (slowly) more items on Etsy I was also trying everything known to the email/social network/blogging world to deliver the movie to my dad.  Ah, the fun never ends...
