The Flip Flops have arrived!!!

I'm so excited, they are here! I received the Geoswag newsletter last week just as I was walking out the door to go to work, so when I got home I logged onto the site to see how the sales were going. I always do this, to my complete amazement they were SOLD OUT of flip flops. WOW! What a rush for me. This means that my designs are still liked, I doubt myself from time to time, but yay!! You really do like me!

So onto the news. The Flip Flops are here and in my hands. Normally I set my prices based on the stores sales, it's usually double their listed price. I do this for several reasons. 1. In the past I have found that setting the price similarly to what one or two sell for on ebay typically makes them too high in cost. 2. Because my time isn't free, each design I do takes me away from my daughter. And while I get to work from home, it still means that I have to close the door to my office, which is also her bedroom to focus. & 3. Because I know that my versions are rare, with only 30 typically in circulation it makes them harder to get. & 4. Because I am now a registered business and I have to pay taxes on my sales. What all that boils down to is that the Flip Flops will be $20.00 each instead of my usual $15.00. Combined shipping and handeling for the set is $4.00 in the US, $5.00 everywhere else.

Now onto the pictures and differences!
The Beach Version: The Artist Edition is on Shiny Nickel and feature imitation hard enamel. I also changed some of the colors. There is a more vibrant turquoise sky, I changed one surfboard to a bright pink, the other standing board has red yellow and blue, and the board on it's side now has yellow, green, blue and purple.
The Hibiscus Flip Flops are pretty easy to see the differences. Again they are on shiny nickel and have imitation hard enameling. Blue background with light greenish white flowers. The flowers on the Artist Edition Glow in the Dark!!!
So there you have it! If you are interested in purchasing one or both of these coins please send me an email with your order and paypal information to sales@wicksworksdesign.com There will only be 20 of each of these coins available for sale as of right now. A total of 30 of the Beach flips and 28 of the Hibiscus flips exist. Yep - 28, because I asked for 2 special Hibiscus ones to be made for me to sell for the March of Dimes in January 2009. More on those will follow at another time!
