exclusive sale. momo rules, azula drools.

The wait is over! The Last Airbender comes out this Thursday. So this week, take an additional 20% off all SALE items at cardinalhouse! Let’s say that this is to help create balance a la [real, not blue] Avatar style – you know, out with the old… theory. Enter “momolove” into the message to seller during checkout & I’ll refund the 20% back via PayPal. Offer ends Friday [7/02] at midnight.

My son has been begging me to go see this as soon as we found out that a live-action movie version would be coming out. So for nearly a year now, I’ve been reassuring Alex that we’d go to see it.

Avatar: "Theme Song"

Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about the movie yet. As sad as this may sound, I love the cartoon nearly as much as Alex does.  I didn’t like the rock-type music playing during some of the trailers because that just doesn’t fit the character of the cartoon. Appa’s CG on the trailers look very disappointing & I haven’t noticed how they’re doing Momo [the lemur].

It looks like this will only be Book 1 [Water] of the series, which earns Shayamalan points & explains why new & unknown stars were cast. If he does a good job on this movie & it turns out well, then Shayamalan could turn this into another trilogy & boost the young actors’ careers [think Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter]. Book 2 would be Earth [yea Toph] & Book 3 is Fire. Eack Book was essentially a season on Nick.

Spring cleaning: sale coming!

 

Rosa Necklace from cardinalhouse  

Okay, guys. It's time. I didn't get around to doing a sale for my 1-yr anniversary on Etsy, or my b-day (earlier in Feb). Now I'm going to make up for that. I started marking down items this week, but I will be marking down the rest of the items at least 15% (stuff that's been in the store since last fall or earlier).

I was chatting with another seller & during those chats, I realized that I want to be much more aggressive in what I started earlier this week. Sure, I'm going through my reclaimed office fabric...but lately I've brought more home from work. I'm heading backwards at the moment. Nicht gut. Even packing a stuffed plastic grocery bag's worth into my son's backpack everyday doesn't seem to be making much of a dent. Hah! And trust me, while his teacher said she can take as much as I can give, that will change soon! I overwhelmed his teacher last year, eventually. 

So, I will be working on mark downs this weekend.  If you see something in the shop & I haven't marked it down, please let me know!   cardinal_house [at] comcast [dot] net

Happy Weekend!
