If you’ve never encountered a candle ring before, you might be amazed at what a wonderful decorative accent they bring to any room. Our hand-crafted candle rings are designed to accent the warmth and light of large and small glass candles as well as pillar candles. They are totally re-usable. When your old candle burns down, just move your candle ring to a new candle and keep on enjoying them.
Each hand-crafted candle ring is fashioned from guitar and bass strings that were used during live performances. They are not polished afterwards. We feel that the tarnished look of the strings preserves that moment of creativity and inspiration. We feel that these designs are infused with the spirit of music, and honor the origin of our bas materials by dubbing the collection “Musical Illuminations”.
If you would like to add an eclectic decorative flair to your home, we invite you to browse our collection of candle rings. Bring the spirit of music into your home with Musical Illuminations.
We’ve been adding stock to the web store, and hope to have it fully stocked by the end of August. It’s seemed like a long time coming, we know, but it’ll be worth the wait. We have much more flexibility here than we ever did on any of the online auction sites. Thank you to those who have been so supportive. We appreciate your well wishes, and hope you know what a pleasure it’s been for us to meet you “out and about” at some of the festivals and shows we’ve been taking the Floozees Doozees tent to.
Loading the database is a painstaking process which takes more time than it probably should, but we’re working on it full-bore. It’s going to take awhile before we have all 1,000+ of our designs online in the web store, but we’re making that final push and hope to have it all done by the end of August. Please check back in. We’re adding new designs daily, and will soon start posting daily and weekly special offers.
Lots of new goodies to talk to you about, kiddies.
First, we are still building our webstore, so very soon you’ll be able to shop directly right here, on our FloozeesDoozees site, thus eliminating fees from shopping with us on eBay, Etsy, Artfire or Bonanzle. Our prices will be lower here as well, because we’ll just pass the savings on to you! Check back with us often……..this is a painstaking process, to say the least, so pardon our dust. Thanks for your patience while we get things up and running!
Also, FloozeesDoozees has opened a sister store on Etsy.com which will exclusively showcase our MUSICAL ILLUMINATIONS Candle Rings. Please visit WindhavenArt. http://www.etsy.com/people/WindhavenArt
This new store, too, is a work in progress and a bit painstaking, so again, we ask that you pardon our dust in the meantime, and thank you for your patience.
Most of you may know, but I’m part of an Acoustic Trio called “Windhaven”. If you scroll down the page, you’ll find a music player where you can hear some of our music. If you’re interested in finding out more about the band, please visit our website at www.windhaven.us
WindhavenArt is going to be a presence at most of our live shows. We feel that music and candles go very well together, after all…especially in an acoustic setting!
Finally……..Summer approaches!!! (Although, if you live in Florida like we do….summer never entirely leaves. And no, that’s not ALWAYS a good thing!) FloozeesDoozees has all sorts of new designs and goodies for you. We have Sleep Tees/Beach Cover Ups, Tote Bags, Small Garden Flags and of course our T Shirts. Lots of beachy themes for you to choose from. Visit our store!
As always, thanks for your continued support and interest in all things FloozeesDoozees!
Yours truly…

I’m still a little green around the gills with the whole making jewelry thing…….but I am slowly developing my own style.
Maybe it’s the left over hippie in me, but I really love working with hemp cord. It’s so versatile.
Earrings have been fun as well, but I seem much more interested in concentrating on necklaces and chokers. A new favorite hobby is trying to find really eclectic and unusual charms, beads and accents for my work.
Unlike metal chains, hemp cord softens up over time. Metals have always caused me to break out. My mother used to tell me not only did I have expensive taste, but I also had expensive skin….. it had to be very expensive jewelry and the highest qualities of metal, or I would get a rash. Hemp cord is very affordable, and so as a result, so are my necklaces! And no rash….

FloozeesDoozees has decided not to go to the Safety Harbor 3rd Friday music series this week, but encourage you to attend. It’s a great little town and the street festivals are a lot of fun. I’m sure we’ll find our way back there again for the May festival on the 21st!
******
We are continuing to build this site and hope to in the not too very distant future have this fully functioning which will allow you to purchase here directly without having to go through ebay, Etsy, Bonanzle or Artfire. We’re grateful for each of these other online marketplaces, but thrilled to have our very own site as well!
Enjoy the pictures below and thanks for reading!

eBay, in their oh so infinite wisdom, has seen fit to raise fees. Again. But this time, what they have done is throw the little fish, like me, right out of the pond and onto the hot scorching land to die an agonizing death.
Okay, so it’s not THAT bad, but it is bad enough that I’m packing up the store and saying Cccccya! After nearly 6 years, I’m finally sick and tired of the eBay crap.
They are “supposedly” going to start providing sellers with the lowest fees ever as of March 30. And how they are doing is this raising all of their fees and forcing little fish like me to upgrade to a more expensive store and in turn pay more in fees to boot. Sellers who worked very hard for their Power Seller status ( like me), will lose it. Their new fee schedule is making it impossible to have a thriving business there unless you sell high dollar items or do ten tons of business each month. So this puts small sellers like me (and there are multitudes) out of commission. It’s ridiculous and enough is dang well enough!
For instance, right now if it costs me $200 a month in eBay fees to manage my store and my over 1,000 listings, come March 30th, unless I UPGRADE to a more expensive store, my expenses will jump up over 200% !!! 200% !!! If I DID upgrade, which… there is no chance in hell that I’m doing that…. I would pay more for a store and still pay higher fees. But eBays misguided logic is that by doing so, I won’t pay as many fees as I will be if I do nothing. There are no lower fees, there are only higher fees and so many restrictions on sellers that it’s just nothing short of lunacy!
I nearly dumped eBay a few months ago when they took away the power of sellers to give negative or neutral feedback! But buyers could hack away at sellers just as always. So sellers who deal with bad buyers, or have issues with a buyer that other sellers should be aware of, have absolutely no recourse for reporting a bad transaction.
Um……. no thanks. In fact, I hope this comes up and bites eBay juicily in the arse. I have been monitoring blogs about this and the fact is, eBay sellers are outraged! Many are closing up shop or so drastically reconfiguring their selling practices that it’s bound to wallop eBay in the ole money bags but good. And well deserved.
eBay is a monopoly that has needed dethroning for years! Luckily for me, there is still Etsy.com, Artfire.com and a new place I’ve found…. Bonanzle.com
The mighty Wic is at this moment revamping this website to be an interactive store. So, yes, my lovies….you can soon shop directly on this site! This is a change that has been way to long in coming, but eBay has forced my hand and so now it’s swiftly in the process of going live!
Once we are ready and set to go, I’ll be offering specials and offering free shipping and all sorts of good stuff…….
So stay tuned!
As Wic says…….. Over, Under or Through…. b’god!
It’s a beautiful sunny day so naturally Victorias mind is thinking about summer….. the beach….. vacations! Okay….. so what is a vacation, she asks? If memory serves…….. oh well.
Come join us this month for the 3rd Friday Music Series in Safety Harbor We will be there this month with bells and shamrocks! (( Being that Victoria is Irish….. she naturally relishes any and all things dealing with drinking….. uh…. St. Patricks Day.))
