Hey Noonday Shoppers,

For some reason, when you scroll through my sample sale posts, it won't show the last four items.  Please click the item you are interested in on the Blog Archive at the right.
Also, if you're viewing my blog on your mobile device, click "View Web Version" or you won't be able to access the Blog Archive and therefore, won't see all the items.

Sample Sale RULES

Welcome to my Noonday Collection online summer sample sale!  Many of these items are top sellers and I love them dearly, but because each item is handmade, we only have a limited quantity and these items have sold out or will soon.  I have about 10 items, set to be published at 8:00 pm EST on Thursday, August 1st.  (Hostesses will be able to purchase 24 hours earlier.)

Here's how it will work:

  • Each item will be posted separately.
  • Each item will be tagged as "necklace", "bracelet", etc.  If you are looking for a specific item, please click on the appropriate tag on the right.
  • All items are from my samples, so they are sold in "as is" condition.  I will note if there are any known defects.  I will not accept returns on sample sale items.  All sales are final.  (Since I'm a new Ambassador, all of my items are in "like new" condition.  A few have never been worn or handled.)
  • If you want to purchase an item, please leave a comment with your e-mail address.  If you want multiple items, leave a comment on each item.
  • FIRST COMMENT "WINS"!
  • If you see an item that you want, but it has an e-mail address in the comments, go ahead and leave a comment with your e-mail address as that will serve as a "waiting list" if the first person doesn't make their payment in the allotted time.
  • After commenting, I will e-mail you an invoice via paypal.  You can pay for the item via paypal or credit/debit card through paypal.
  • You MUST pay for the item within 24 hours of receiving the invoice or I will re-post the item for sale.
  • I will leave all items up until payment has been received.  I will remove the item once payment has been received.
  • If you need your item shipped, I will add $4.00 to your invoice to cover shipping costs.
  • E-mail me at carrie.hawkins2013@gmail.com if you have any questions or specific directions for me.
Thanks so much!
