Chloe & Isabel Closing Tomorrow

It’s been a great run!

Gorgeous designs, money-saving convertibility and a beautiful story.

I took a look in my Chloe & Isabel Boutique page and there are items as low as $1 when you get to checkout and the additional 30% off is taken off. Up to 85% off most everything … and then you take an additional 30% off of that. It’s really clearing the racks and calling “last call” for the deals.

Is it really too early to start shopping for Christmas gifts? Refilling the birthday gift drawer? You only have about 24-hours until they close the site for shopping.

So here it is, my last time telling you …

Chloe & Isabel is having a sale you don’t want to miss!

So much love to you all for your amazing support over the years! I sold over $88,000 worth of jewelry to you fine people and collectively you helped me through a very tough period in my life. What would I have done without all of your rallying around my little jewelry business?

God Bless and Gabby OUT!

A new group of favorite items will go on sale each morning - and I’ll make the announcement early in the morning. They will be at deep reductions AND will go quickly as our Spring/Summer inventory is fading away. You’ll want to do some pre-shopping to get items on your Wish List and set your budget. Then watch for my daily posts and check out (maybe on the train to work or while drinking your morning coffee). There will be 7 days of sales starting on July 12th. 

I’ll add another 1 pt to your entries if you email or text me your Wish List so I can keep an eye out for sale items - you may even get a text before the sale opens so you’ll be prepared!! (Hint hint)

Here’s how to win the whole kitten-caboodle :

2 pts - during the above shared post, list your favorite Sseko product

3 pts - refer a friend who places any size order

4 pts - make a purchase of less than $50

7 pts - book a Home Trunk Show between July 12th - August 31st (credits will be awarded following your event, or 3 early purchases)

I have plans for a Grand Open House in August, but I will be hosting a quick Open House this Saturday morning, July 14th from 10am - noon, in my home. This will allow you to see, touch and try out products you've been seeing online. I will be able to provide additional information on products I do not have. RSVP is mandatory, please let me know by Friday at noon.

How about some mimosas and cupcakes to celebrate Sseko's birthday?

Grab a little girl time before your family activities ramp up for the weekend.

There's a lesson to be learned ...

Do you want insurance?

There’s a reason they ask.

Following a very successful Chloe + Isabel pop up at a ladies night event, I woke up early to start preparing thank you postcards and all of a sudden ... THIS!  So began my saga today on how to fix it.

Back in November, I started having problems with my 1st iPad Pro I’d gotten from T-Mobile. The Apple store replaced it because it was short of my 12-month warranty. The replacement one had only a 90-day warranty (even though it was new), so the screen error is now not covered. These are repairs that are not performed by the Apple store. They could sell me a new one for $379.  They recommended I go to T-Mobile to see if I had insurance or find a repair shop that would repair the screen. I headed to T-Mobile and discovered that I opted OUT of the insurance coverage. They could sell me a new one for $479 if I upgraded one of our phones. I also went to Best Buy to see if they repaired screens, and they could only send the device back to Apple and receive a REFURBISHED one for $450. Batteries + Bulbs will replace the screen for $350. 

Unfortunately, because Apple provides updates for their software, my iPad Pro was running the same as a new one. So it’s not like I’m upgrading to a nicer iPad - only the 9.7 I had is no longer sold in stores - just the Apple store. Oh boy ... 

So here’s my recommendation. Now that I know better, I’m definitely going to get an extended warranty or insurance on the next one. It’s my lifeline - since my laptop went belly up earlier this year, and I carry it with me everyday, plan my day around working anywhere I happen to be, and even purchase purses based on what will fit and hold my iPad safely.

To say today was a bad day is an understatement. 

If you would like to help out - I am raising money to help pay for the new one! I’m holding a massive clean out sale of my sample Chloe + Isabel pieces. I have some great deals up to 90% off on many items. If you would like to be added to my special sale group on Facebook, please let me know. Send me a text or message. 

Usually I can run the world from anywhere ... but this Wonder Woman lost her bracelets!
