Pre-Order your Hat of the Club Membership Today!

Wed, 14 Jun 2006 23:07:18 GMT

Imagine a new hat every month and imagine it at rock bottom prices!

JensGems Hat of the Month Club will officially kick off in August. There will be two variations of the club offered, a six-month and a twelve-month plan. How the clubs work is very simple and perfect for any season.

Each month you will receive a new crocheted hat with each pattern being completely different. The best part is you can choose the color palette you would like to receive. You can choose from any of the basic colors and I will design all six or twelve hats around variations and shades of that color. Currently the choices for color palettes will be: red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, white, black, brown, pink, aqua, and rainbow. For instance, if you choose the orange color palette, then all your hats will be based around a shade of orange. You may be wondering, “What is the rainbow palette?” If you specify rainbow, you are letting JensGems decide. You will receive hats in all different colors. Then every hat will be a complete surprise every month! Just make sure to specify which color palette you would like when checking out.

The hats in JensGems Hat of the Month Club are not your basic hats either. You may receive a hat adorned with a crocheted flower for instance. The hats will be of all different shapes, sizes, and fibers. I can even cater to your allergenic needs, making sure to only use certain fibers upon your request at no extra charge. A wonderful gift for your mother or a friend in your life. Have a secret pal at work? That is taken care of with this special offer. The Hat of the Month club is perfect all year long as you never know when there will be a chilly night at the cabin on the lake or around the campfire.

As mentioned, the official kick-off to the club is this August. JensGems will be taking pre-orders here at her Etsy shop and if you decide to purchase a membership before August 1st, not only will you receive your first hat in August but will also be receiving a reduced rate. If you decide to wait until after August 1st to purchase a membership, you will have to wait until September until your first hat arrives (as I will ship out hats on the first business day of every month) and you will not be able to take advantage of the unbelievable savings. Also, JensGems is only offering a limited number of memberships, so by waiting you may miss out completely and have to wait until next year to join.

Now you are probably wondering “How much is a membership into the Hat of the Month Club?” I currently charge around $15 a hat when purchased one at a time. The cost of a six-month membership is $72. Guess what? That is only $12 a hat! The twelve-month membership is even better. You pay $120 for 12 hats. That’s only $10 a hat! That’s over 30% in savings on each hat. Not just the first hat, but a 30% savings each and every month.

Take note, these are the prices after August 1st. JensGems is offering an even bigger savings to those who order their membership before August 1st. Buy a six-month membership before the deadline and pay only $65 (that’s just over $10 a hat). Buy a twelve-month membership before the deadline and pay $100 (that makes each hat just over $8). Yes, you read that correctly. Order your twelve-month membership before August 1st and pay only $8 for each handmade, crocheted hat. You will save over 45% on each hat every month!

Go online to
JensGems and order your membership today! Remember, there are only a limited number of memberships available so get yours while you still can!

My first journal entry

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 03:58:06 GMT

I came across livejournal at (of course) etsy.com! It seemed as if a lot of people use livejournal, so I decided I wanted in on the fun too.

As you will get to know, I am addicted to etsy.com and crafting. I would quit my job and craft full-time if I could. I especially love crocheting and sewing.

I actually finished a new tote design today. It is posted at my etsy shop: http://jensgems.etsy.com

My boyfriend came with me to go grocery shopping today, and I just HAD to stop at Hobby Lobby and pick up interfacing for this tote. He loved that! I told him the person who adopts the tote will appreciate I lined it with the heavy interfacing!!

I also updated my etsy store as I had planned and added those darn gift certificates I have been meaning to upload.

My goal is to make it to the top 100 sellers list for at least one day on etsy! Go visit my shop, put me as one of your favorites, buy something! Help a girl out!!!

Toodles and have a gem of a day!
