Small Business Saturday

Well, hello there! I decided this was just as good a day as any to dust off this old blog and put her to good use.

Being a small business owner myself, I can appreciate the idea behind Small Business Saturday. For those of us who run our businesses with fervor and joy, the support of our community (online and neighborhood!) is what allows us to be successful.

Naturally, I'm offering some GREAT deals on my handcrafted jewelry in my own Etsy shop! Here's what's going on right now at bel monili:

• 25% off of your entire purchase of $35 or more using code BF2013 through midnight EST 11/30/13
• 20% off of your entire purchase of $10 or more using codeSBS2013 through midnight EST 11/30/13

And...keep your eyes peeled (hint: follow us on Facebook and sign up for our email list) for an awesome Cyber Monday deal to follow!

On this Small Business Saturday, here are some of my most favorite small businesses (and some of them even have some great sales to check out!). Here are just a few of MY favorite things:

Welcome to my friend Amy's shop, where you can find Alphabet Photography Prints, custom orders and already pre-designed prints are available. They make unique gifts for weddings, housewarmings, birthdays, anniversaries, showers, parties and any occasion. Using her original photography of architectural and natural objects, Amy has created alphabet photography art with a heavy focus on Pittsburgh, PA.

Amy also offers custom alphabet photography name prints! 

Charis (pronounced: khar'-ece) is the English translation for the Greek word (χάρις, ιτος, ἡ) for grace. Meanings: a gift or blessing; favor; gratitude, thanks; joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loveliness. Share "charis" with someone you care about via the thoughtfulness of a handmade, handpicked, specially designed card or gift.
