BIG NEWS!
This week we have a very nice reason for being late with the
newsletter. We had a baby boy a week and a half ago, QUITE unexpectedly,
as he wasn't due for five more weeks! He came very early, caught us all
off-guard, and put things in a tailspin, making it VERY difficult to log in a
lot of computer time. For this reason, we put off the newsletter for
a week, will willingly extend this fortnight's sale for three weeks instead of
two (which we do a lot of the time these days anyway), and will not be listing
any new products for a while.
Ephemerala's newest "staff member" is named Cedric Dallapè, he was born on
April 6, and weighed a trim 5 pounds, 6 ounces. Despite technically being
premature, he did well from the very start, only needed oxygen for a few minutes
after birth, and is currently behaving like any typical newborn--he eats a lot
and wets a lot and cries when he gets his diaper changed! He swims in the
smallest clothes (his grandma just sent him "Extra Small" sized onesies, and
they come down to his ankles), and has no fat on his little body, but he's
strong and healthy. You can see some of his pictures here:

Stone Fun Facts
No Facts This week
It's getting durn hard to find new stones to profile! While I love
looking up info and learning about the various gems, I simply do not have the
time these days to do a lot of research. Hopefully we'll have some new
facts in the next newsletter in three weeks.
In the meantime, please see more Stone Fun Facts

Fortnightly Sale
Cedric's Birthday Sale!
To commemorate the arrival of our baby boy, selected blue Chip Beads are
half price. A nice, easy sale that I don't have to think about too
much! Enjoy.

2006
Penny Sale
Every two weeks, I hide a new special offer somewhere on my online
site. This listing will offer a certain product for ONE CENT, with any
purchase of $10.00 or more. The item and its location will change every
two weeks, so be sure to look often. Simply go to my online store
site:
and browse until you find the hidden listing. Add it to your cart,
along with the rest of your $10.00+ order, and it will be included for just a
penny. Happy Hunting!
(Recent keen-eyed customers got a STONE HEART PENDANT for a
penny. What will you be able to get this week?)
Insider's Special
Massive Grab Bags!
What fun! We'll put a big ol' pile of your favorite baubles
into a big sack and send them to you at a fraction of their original
price. You can choose a Jewelry Grab Bag, which is all jewelry, a Gemstone
Grab Bag, which contains assorted display pieces, or a Fragrance Grab Bag, which
is all sorts of fun smelly stuff. Each Grab Bag will contain merchandise
worth at least $100, but you will just pay $40.00 for each bag! This is a
GREAT offer for resellers, collectors, and for people looking for
inexpensive gifts.
This Fortnight's Insider's Sale is good through May 7,
