November 4, 2009 - Wednesday 

Current mood:  optimistic
We have large amounts of various odd sizes 
in some of our horn body jewelry offerings...
Thus we've decided to repeat the sale from earlier this year,
but with more offerings including this time around:
10 pairs of the following shapes and sizes can be yours for $50!!!
This makes these pieces from 50% to 75% off wholesale prices!

This sale includes the following horn and bone shapes: 
13ga, 11ga, 9ga, 7ga, 5ga, and 3ga horn CBR's
11ga, 9ga, 7ga, 5ga, and 3ga BONE CBR's
7ga and 5ga horn upside-down U's
5ga horn omega's
7ga, 5ga, 3ga, and 1ga horn Java style hoops
7ga, 5ga, and 3ga horn yoni's
7ga, 5ga, and 3ga horn square CBR's
7ga and 5ga horn compact spirals
7ga and 5ga horn wicked spirals
7ga and 5ga horn homegirl spirals
7ga, 5ga, and 3ga horn claws with balls
7ga, 5ga, and 3ga BONE claws with balls
7ga, 5ga, and 3ga horn claws with inlaid nail heads

You can even mix and match sizes and shapes!


ALSO!!!  We have some horn jewelry with quality issues,
that we are offering as part of this sale as well...
Regular, even sizes are included in this category!!!
Typical issues include:  checks (micro-thin splits), 
warping, cracking, inconsistent inlays, and sizing issues
(such as one piece being a different size than the other,
like one piece being 3ga, the other piece being 4ga).
Because of the time involved, no images will be sent;
only verbal descriptions will be given over the phone.


All sales are final; no returns will be accepted for any reason.
The $50 is a minimum; any added pairs will merely be $5/pair.

Retail prices are double as usual, thus for retail customers,
this sale translates into 5 pairs for only $50.

Please give us a call to place an order; no emails 
will be accepted unless you are an international customer.
Please keep in mind we may run out of some sizes and shapes;
no rain-checks will be issued.  Order early for best availability!
All orders and payments must be received by 30 December 2009.
Thank you, and enjoy!

You are invited to attend our "show and tell" of Organic's natural and ethnic body jewelry!!!
THE NEXT SHOW AND TELL is about to be confirmed:

1st THURSDAY EVENING from 6pm-10pm, 3th DECEMBER 2009
in the abode of our friend Jared within the Everett Station Lofts.
625 NW Everett, number 233. Near Chinatown, Portland, OR.
((You must be buzzed in, then follow the signs up the convoluted stairways...))
It's first Thursday, so ride your bike or be prepared to park far away!

We will be featuring new goodies, especially horn body jewelry, as well as SALE items!!!
The sale items will include pieces already labeled as such on my website,
possibly another retail sale like last year's on ethnic jewelry from 
Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Alaska, Mexico, & Ethiopia,
odd sized horn and bone jewelry (both of these sales are mentioned in other blogs),
super cheap horn spirals, body jewelry with quality issues,
and other random goodies for reduced prices.
Many examples at $5-$10! Bring cash!

Please keep in mind that we are a wholesale company, and as such, all of our labeled prices are available to businesses only for resale purposes. Retail customers will be asked to pay retail prices, generally double that of wholesale.

We will be joined by several other artists and their corresponding fruits of creation, including...
Garrett Price's steel etchings, our very own Markus Wolff's art, and our host Jared's photography.

Also: We shall be providing a keg of local, tasty beer!
Likely Widmer's "Snow Plow," our pick from last year's event.

If you think there is anyone else who would like to be notified, please let us know, and feel free to spread the word!
Please contact us if you would like to be on our email list announcing when future show and tells occur...


Below is a copy of the paper invite that went out to our NW customers...
***********************************************************************
We get together periodically and open up our space for folks to join us by invitation. As we do not have a formal showroom or shop, this is a great opportunity to come by and see our wares in person. These are informal gatherings, generally happening on a weeknight evening. Often we'll throw one when we want to showcase new acquisitions, and you'll have the first peek and chance to pick some unique items up, without having to pay for shipping. Both wholesale and retail customers are welcome; however, please keep in mind that all of our jewelry is labeled with wholesale prices. Cash is appreciated and discounts can be given for large purchases!

If you'd like to be notified when they occur, please call (503) 240-0260 or email to let us know your email address and/or phone number, as well as the ideal days and times when you could participate. Space is limited, so we ask that you RSVP and keep guests to a minimum. Our space is definitely not child proof, so you'll have to keep a very cautious eye on the little ones if they'll be along. We welcome donations of drink, and will be providing some beverages as well.

We look forward to hearing from you!
Love, Organic LLC

December 26, 2008 - Friday 
Please note this is a recurring sale that normally happens at the end of each year,
though which exact items go on sale changes from year to year... stay tuned!!!


A rare sale here at Organic LLC from now until 31 December 2008!!!

Water buffalo horn and bone plugs and shapes in ODD sizes are HALF OFF!!
http://www.organicjewelry.com/hornandbone.html
This is a great deal if you are in between sizes, to get items for
displays, and to stock up on horn body jewelry at amazing prices!

The odd-sized spirals are a particularly good deal,
as we measure and label the greatest possible wearing surfaces;
thus, even-sizes are easily found a bit further down the taper-shaped 'tails.'

Remember, the body does not stretch in gauges, only the mind does!


This sale includes the following sizes:
15ga, 13ga, 11ga (we have horn CBR's, labrets, and septums in these sizes),
9ga, 7ga, (we have only shapes or bone dust inlay plugs in these sizes),
5ga, 3ga, 1ga, (LOTS of both plugs and shapes in these sizes),
11/16", 13/16", 15/16" (we have plugs in these sizes), and
1-1/16", 1-3/16", 1-5/16", 1-7/16", & 1-9/16" (we have plugs in these sizes).

Items include saddle shaped (double flared) horn plugs in these designs:
bone dust inlays, engraved and painted designs, lathed, solid or hollow plain,
hollow with cut out stars, spirals, or triskels, horn with overlaid silver caps...

...and horn shapes in these designs:
upside-down U's, omegas, tapered CBR's, square CBR's, yonis, homegirl,
compact, medium, and wicked spirals, Java style hoops, claws with balls,
bone dust inlay nail heads, claws with plain nail heads, flying dragons,
labrets, and septum spikes or tusks (all but the pinchers)...

... AND bone hollow and solid saddle shaped plugs, CBR's, claws with balls,
septum spikes and tusks, and mammoth ivory labrets are also included!

I designed some new horn plug and hoop designs, and I've finally made them public.
All the items have been posted to our Newly Acquired page.

Yes, there is even more newness than just new horn:
we also have a bunch of new stone plugs and weights, and yet more excitement,
like a pair of super giant wood spirals, wooden hairsticks,
and several huge Mursi tribe (Ethiopian) women's clay lip plates!

Presenting our latest goodies!!!

We will get more sizes of all of these new designs made soon.
Let me know if any are of interest or if you'd like to request a size!!!
If you'd like to place an order or make a size request, kindly give us a call
at (503) 240-0260 rather than emailing or commenting.
_______________________________________________

I am also seeking your esteemed opinion...
What do you think of the new green background color I'm trying out?
You can see the new one if you followed the link above (or on any page of our website).
The old one was the color of this page and with a thinner red outline...
Feel free to leave comments below.

Thanks, and enjoy!

For those of you that haven't seen them either at APP
or on the secret leaf postcard announcement page of my website,
I have finally made it official:

BAMBOO PLUGS WITH BURNT DESIGNS ON THE ENDS!!!
Check out the new lovelies!
Scroll down to about 2/3rds the way down the page...

It's something we've been doing for a few years now, but haven't made it public until now.
There are several images showing almost 100 pairs to wet your whistle.
Enjoy!
