Few things to update about.  First off, I'm wanting to raise funds for more promotional materials, so I'm trying to drum up business with a bit of sale.

**ORDER 1 CUSTOM VIAL and get 1 *FREE* upgrade! (ie. Pay for standard, get free upgrade to Sterling Silver; pay for Sterling Silver, get free upgrade to 14K gold.)

**BUY 2+ VIALS and get *1/2 OFF* any of "Izile's Experiments"

I've had some new experiments, something a bit lighter and more fun.  I've made two tiny glass bottles, 2" tall and 3" in circumferance, filled according to two very different themes, and then capped off with different colors of raw silk and satin ribbon.

The first is "Fairy Food" and is filled with porridge, poppy seeds, sunflower seeds, red quinoa, saffron threads, lemon thyme, and honeycomb. (All ingredients are dry and uncooked, except for the lemon thyme which was fresh from my garden).

The second is "Vampire Repellent" and is filled with a clove of garlic, a dried red rose bud, a sterling silver cross, and a miniature wooden stake. 

They're both available at my etsy shop, Izile's Oddities, for $10.00, or, I have listed both of them as "trials" on my new WinkElf.com site, HERE, where I have a "make an offer" feature activated on each one. 

I'm not too sure about WinkElf.com, yet; but it's free so I'm willing to give it a try.  Very wait and see for now.

Aside from that, I'm getting ready to go to Atlanta, GA this weekend for DragonCon!  It's my first ever convention - since I don't count SantaCon (just 500+ people in santa suits wandering Manhattan yelling, "Santa needs a beer!").  My costume won't be fab, tight funds and all; but it won't be that bad, I don't hope.  I'm going to be the pirate Pride, of the seven deadly sins. 

The joke has been that I'll strut around as Pride, Lust will follow after me, leering, Wrath will follow him, glowering, and Envy will follow him, wanting the attention.  I'm not sure about Gluttony or Greed; and Sloth won't be there, because they were too lazy to come.  How much of this actually comes to pass, well, it's dubious.  Funny concept, though.
