January 2025

Jan 22, 2025
It has been SO cold here in Minnesota.
Like, -18 degrees cold. BEFORE windchill.
I know it will be warm again in a few months, but for now… BRRRRRRRR!I’d like to take a moment at the very beginning of this first email of 2025, to say THANK YOU for visiting my website… and make a request.

Having a reliable email list is a necessity for any small business… especially these days when social media is no longer predictable nor dependable. I know that most folk already get too many emails, and CHOOSING to add another to the mix is quite the ask. Even so, if you would be ok with one or two emails from me each month, please sign up HERE. Thank you in advance for your support!

I AMULET® 2025

As many of you know, every year I like to highlight a new pendant for the I AMulet. For a quick review, here are the pendants from previous years:
How do I choose a stone to spotlight in a world with so many beautiful and meaningful stones?  Well, it’s really a combination of factors, including stone availability and affirmation relevance.

This year I think I hit it out of the park.

Introducing….

 

The 2025 Pyrite I AMulet® – I AM Empowered! 
I’m so excited for this year’s special I AMulet!

I started by choosing pyrite as this year’s thematic stone – it felt like a strong option for any I AMulet collection. In addition to attracting light and positivity, this golden powerhouse is also able to repel and eliminate negative energy!

And then in September I found these hand cut rose shaped stones. I knew that they would be perfect and promptly bought all the material the vendor had available.

Roses have a variety of meanings depending on color, with yellow/golden ones representing optimism, courage, and inner strength. I like to imagine that each of these pyrite roses is mindfully shaped to amplify positivity, energy, and power. Plus, they’re so so so so beautiful; I know you’re going to love them!

Put together, these rose pyrite pendants were chosen for both shape and substance, making the 2025 I AMulet a solid choice for a year that is sure to challenge everyone, requiring our focused attention and most authentic selves.

GIFT CARDS!

A common scenario I experience at in-person market events involves people who are certain that the I AMulet would be a perfect gift for someone special, but they don’t feel confident in choosing the affirmation pendants, themselves.

I get it – styling an I AMulet is a meaningful experience.

The best option I found to get around this conundrum was with E-gift cards. I had hoped to have them available before the holiday season but the tech got in my way. I’m pretty sure it’s all working correctly now, and I’m excited to be able to offer the option to you!

Right now, E-gift cards can only be used to purchase items from my online shop, melissacmark.com. Someday, I may be able to offer physical cards that can also be used at markets, but unfortunately that’s not an option right now.

EVENT SCHEDULE – COMING SOON!

I took a market breather during January and am still wrestling with February/Valentine’s Day event planning. I’ll figure it out soon and will update my events page on the website as well as let you know via email. If you’d like to start browsing Valentine’s Day options, I do have some lovely sparklies set aside on melissacmark.com. There are also a couple new items I plan to offer, and should have them listed by February 1st at the latest.
That’s it for now. Thank you, again for your continued support! Know that I will never take it for granted.

Stay Warm!
Melissa
