The Semi-Annual "Get Us Out Of The Desert!" Super Sale!

Hello there wonderful crafty friends,

We two ferrets are itching to leave the desert and to do so, we'd like a little more money in our kitty. At 8mpg, driving a large RV at any distance is a slightly pricey endeavour. Chevy 454 V8 engines are not widely known for their fuel efficiency. They are known, however, for being one damned beastly powerhouse.

That's besides the point. So, in order to leave, some of our beads need to go out the door. And to encourage you to buy these wonderful beads and supplies, we're gonna throw some of them on sale. Wait, scratch that. ALL of them on sale.

And we're gonna put everything, including shipping, at 20% off. Some might call us crazy for doing this, and they'd be right.
The sale shall be ending on March 9th. So, if you have a hankering for wonderful vintage, re-purposed, and shiny new jewelry supplies on the cheap, now's the time to do it. You'll also be helping the ferrets migrate to a new dot on the map. We're not 100% sure where this dot on the map will be, but we'll find it.

All you have to do is: go to Two Industrious Ferrets, find your sparkly objects, and in the message to seller box, type "It's too hot for ferrets in the desert". Or "desert". Or "Give me my 20% off, dummies."


You'll have wonderful new sparklies, and we'll be out of here before the sun fries us to a crisp.

Mark it 8, Dude,
Dave The Surly Ferret

I Stumbled Upon the Motherload...

So every morning/afternoon, ok anytime, we walk past the "cabana" in the front of the RV park we are staying at I hear: "Good morning kids!" As I turn and look I see an elderly lady with short wavy white hair, wearing some cute sweatshirt ( yes cute, you know, the kind with puppies and what not) holding a little yellow mug with a smiley face on it. This is Elsie. Elsie sits out here all day talking with everyone who comes in and out of the park. There is an ever rotating cast of character sitting around enjoying the sun and each other's company, under said cabana.

One morning, we found ourselves sitting her, again, talking with Elsie, her husband, and another older gentleman (who's name I STILL can't remember) when they began they're regular questioning of how it is us "city kids" wound up in there park and how it is we can get away with not having jobs and aimlessly roaming the countryside. So again I began to explain to them that we sell beads online, and how paypal works, and that the internet is not the devil... at some point during this Stan (Elsie's husband) looks at the other guy and says: "Doesn't Jim have a whole trailer stuffed full of trade beads he bought like 20yrs ago?"

Make a long story short Stan wound up throwing us in his truck, driving us to "No Name St." to Jim's trailer. Sure enough there was a trailer overflowing into his yard with beads, jewelry, baskets, bones, antlers, dream-catchers, pogs and assorted another knick knacks to boot. My jaw almost dropped. I was like a kid in a candy shop squirreling through mountains of shiny objects. There is spools of copper chain, buckets of trade beads, strands and strands of beautiful sparkling glass, it was insane.

The moral of the story is, don't be afraid to talk to people, you never know what you'll find. :-)
