This morning I woke up with the urge to take a road trip. There’s nothing like driving with the windows down, listening to your favorite tunes, and allowing yourself to surrender to the road.  I loved taking road trips with friends when I was in college. We’d hop in the car on an afternoon where our classes would end around noon and stop at the nearest gas station to fill up and grab our favorite “on the road” snacks: chex mix and twizzlers.  We’d always have some destination in mind a the end of the day, but it was all about the journey.  It wasn’t important if we arrived or not, we just wanted to be together and feel free.

Hello Hello! I sent this e-mail out to most of you, but wanted to post it on my blog, too! Because you’ll bring me so many smiles, I’m having a S-A-L-E for the first time, ever! Your entire order is 20% off! How exciting. The sale ends on Valentine’s Day!! Get to shopping ladies and gents.

Love is in the air…. Wow.  Are we already one full month into 2012?!  I have a sneaking suspicion that this year is going to fly by just as quickly as the last — and we’re ready for it!  We’ve been whittling away on lots of new pieces over here in the studio as we gear up for more traveling, more shows, more weddings, and more stores and boutiques set to carry our line in 2012.  We’re looking forward to the coming year and will keep you posted on our progress as things unfold. In case you’re not aware (it snuck up on us!), Valentines Day is only two weeks away.  “And?,” you might say.  Well, that means it’s time to do something nice for yourself, or, for your wonderful wife, girlfriend, daughter, mother, aunt, sister, fiancée, grandmother, old college roommate, or friend. As a small way of saying “Thanks” for all for your support during the past year, I’m offering 20% off of your entire order from erinmcdermott.com.  Just type in the promo code “20off ” at checkout.  Better yet, if you get your order in by the weekend, we’ll make sure it gets to you by Valentine’s Day so that you can score some major brownie points with your sweetie pie.Thanks for a great 2011, and here’s to an even better 2012.  Happy shopping! xoxo,erin … so here’s an early Happy Valentine’s Day to all! A little Valentine to thank all of you for being so lovely and supportive.  You make my heart smile and I thank you! 20% off this week and next: simply enter “20off” at checkout. If you’d like to design a special piece of jewelry that fits your style, order a gift certificate & work with me to create a unique piece just for you. xoxo, erin  Follow on Twitter   |   Like on Facebook E r i n   M c D e r m o t t   J e w e l r yw w w . e r i n m c d e r m o t t . c o m7 0 4 . 7 2 4 . 6 1 4 5 Happiness is a journey, not a destination. ~ Souza

Alright Monday…here you are again and we’re ready this time! Gotta say, last Monday I was still in a little bit of a holiday coma & couldn’t believe 2012 had snuck up on me. But, after a great weekend of friends, date night, good cooking, a baby shower, cleaning the garage, baking, yoga and taking Sukie to the park, I’m ready to dive into the week! I’ve been busy spending time lining up trunk shows for the spring, contacting stores for wholesale orders, and working with newly engaged brides (congrats all you little new lovers) on bridal jewelry.  I’ll be doing lots of traveling again this year, so let me know if you’d be interest in hosting a jewelry trunk show!
