Shopping Networks Start Clearance This Week

HSN, QVC, and ShopNBC all have begun their after Christmas Clearance Sales. Additionally, this past year we have seen a new promotional strategy of putting clearance items on value pays, flex plays, and easy pays.  Since most of the nation  has had unseasonably warm weather, the clearance on apparel will still keep you au courant.  Choose from designers such as Isaac Mizrahi at QVC, craft goods such as Martha Stewart Crafts™ Star Burst Punch Collection at HSN, and faux Ostrich feather vests from ShopNBC.  Plus many of these sites are coupling these clearance sales with their white sale.

MDM Says: Now is the time to start scooping up those bargains that you can use throughout the remaining winter months and next year as well for less!

Make A Bead Line To This Crafting Bling

One of the latest fads in jewelry has been the personalized creativity bead bracelets.  Making its’ appearance around the  holidays, this was one way to personalize jewelry for your loved one.  Beads on a silver circle bracelet is a great 21st Century take on the charm bracelet. 

Many of  the beads are artisan glass creations including ldots, swirls, sayings, murano glass, sterling silvers, spacesr and more. 

Now, you can go to a jeweler and build your own, or as MarkdownMom found you can find a wonderful selection online and  instore at a real savings.

At Shopko® you can buy beads for as low as $6.74  instore and bangles at half the cost of jewelry stores.  QVC has quite a selection with its Prerogatives line of over 600 beads, slightly higher, but well worth considering with Mother’s Day on the horizon.

You can call this a charm bangle, a Pandora bracelet, or your own–a keepsake that reflects your personality!
