I fully admit that I am terrible at social media. I go through spurts where I focus on it and everything is good and then forget it exists? That’s kind of where I am with Instagram right now. I’m not even sure if anyone uses it anymore. And then there’s TikTok which I have ideas for that never really come to fruition. Combine that with the after holidays “I don’t want to do anything” creative drain, and well, it’s the perfect storm of not updating anything. But I am alive, and working.

I swear I start off each of these posts with saying that I can’t believe it’s already ____, but it seriously feels like I blinked and October was over. This will probably be the last post until after the holidays, unless something drastic happens with shipping.

The back to school chaos has been the focus for the last few weeks and I’ve fallen behind on, well, basically everything that didn’t include the making and shipping of a current order. Now that the kids are back in school and (I can usually finish [most of] a thought), I have started to get back into the swing of designing new items, updating the website and updating you on things to come. {I say that but it’s taken me over a week to write this post…}

Now that June is over and the Father’s Day craziness is (mostly) behind me, I decided to take a minute to make something that I really wanted to make. I love Halloween. I love fall, I love dressing up, I mean candy! and love the fun scariness of it all. I also may or may not have an unhealthy obsession with vampires. Anywho, when I saw this coffin stamp from Font Fixation, I knew I had to get it and make earrings. I also have many many many other ideas for it, but earrings are quick and usually easy.

By now you might have heard about this little bug going around, she said with dripping sarcasm. I’m also sure that you’ve gotten emails from every business you even sort of heard of explaining how they’re dealing with it and how it may affect your future purchases. Welp, now it’s my turn.

If you haven’t been following TSB long, The Sad Basset got its name from my Princess, Chloe. Chloe was the best dog a girl could ask for, and when we lost her, we weren’t sure if we wanted another dog.

I’m finally putting that mailing list to use, so make sure you sign up so you don’t miss anything. Sales, new collections, and contests are just a few of the things I will be announcing through the list. I promise I will not send multiple messages a day like certain places you may have shopped (I’m looking at you, Children’s Place), but more of a once a month roundup of stuff.

It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over, but the kids have gone back to school, the leaves are turning, and tomorrow it’ll be Christmas and then suddenly it will be 2020!

If you’ve ordered from me before, you know that all of my jewelry items (with the exception of keychains, sorry) come with a polishing cloth and instructions on how to use that cloth. I mean, it’s fairly simple… rub the item with the cloth when it’s dirty, but I figured it would be good to cover that a bit more in depth.
