Amazing Shopping Spree & Prize Drawing

Amazing Jewelry & More threw a one-year anniversary party w/ treats & specials for preferred customers (on their email list). They served Firehouse Subs ham/turkey sandwiches w/ dill pickle & brownie, fruit/veggie/cheese platters, & sodas/wines. They even had a great singer/guitarist performing and a cute mermaid. ^^

They did prize drawings for special gift bags every 15 minutes, and since I had time, I kept sticking around for "a little while longer," until it was practically for the whole event, from 5pm-8pm. XD; Of course, staying in an accessories shop for 3 hours inevitably resulted in a shopping spree. ^^;; Their business strategy certainly worked on me! My haul:

Buy 3, Get 1 Free Sandy Snaps: $3 x 3 (+1) = $9. Cat hair clip: $3.

Lotus/Lily Pad Necklace & Earrings Set: $4. Custom-Made Magnetic Dark Blue Stone Bracelet: $8. Light-up Oinking Piggy Clip-on Keychain: $5.

Tree of Life Sandy Snap (base) Necklace: $7. Fairy Sandy Snap (button): $7.

Total: $43 - 2 x ($10 off every $20) = $23. Pretty good deal!

Each customer received a free goodie bag. Mine contained a wood(?) spiral "bangle-style" bracelet, an owl charm bracelet (good thing I didn't buy this), & a sample of artisan soap.

Finally, after almost 3 hours (& several voided selections b/c the customers had already left), my name was called! I won the second-to-last prize drawing! XD The gift bag is so pretty. The prize inside is even prettier: a layered gold chain necklace!

 

 Bonus: sample of artisan soap.

Overall, a pretty good night. =)
