NO CYBER MONDAY BLUES

Cyber Monday is when people's sanity is reinstated. It's a day when one becomes smarter at shopping.  Black Friday's past, it's time to take a deep breathe,  put your feet up, grab the mouse and begin clicking away.  Your shoes are off,  the car is in the garage, and all is well with the world at that precise moment.   Cyber Monday is a "good thing," a commercial fact that even Martha Stewart would agree upon.  It's a great opportunity to explore, compare and peruse your favorite web stores for unique gifts and collectible, all in the comfort of home or office (lunch  
time, of course, ladies).  It's a quiet time without the kids or family members that are influences to lead you astray from your goals.


Vintage jewelry, handbags and accessories continues to be the "hot" or "in" gift selection for this holiday.  Not only because it's fashionably chic, but because these items reflect the beauty of times past, an era of glamor, periods of struggles and historical reflections, and memories for all of us.  Looking in the past gives us hope for the future. Vintage gifts are heart gifts with a story to tell.   


Cyber shopping offers many benefits.  The first, and most important benefit of purchasing holiday gifts on line, is the huge financial advantage one receives.  This is especially true if you are purchasing more than one item within one shop or selecting a few favorites.   Free shipping, gift wrapping, deep discounting and no sales tax, can add up to hundreds of dollars in savings, and even if you are purchasing big ticket items the savings can equal a thousand or more;  an important factor to most families with today's struggling economy.


Okay, I agree that for the first couple of hours it is fun to be out there among the masses;  although, I have never curled up with my sleeping bag waiting for my favorite shop to open its doors and I confess, I never will. Although the excitement can be contagious for some, it scary for me.  The euphoric mood of a  Black Friday's marathon seeker looking for the best buy can quickly wane into utter frustration and weariness.  Within 24-hours sanity sets in with the frightening thought of 28 more days of crowded parking lots and standing in long lines to buy often just one item, which is repeated over and over again as one goes to the men's, children and book departments, leading to a future of unending lines and cash registers stealing valuable time.  It doesn't take long to realize that sipping a favorite cup of tea while searching for a handbag is the sane, intelligent way to shop on any given day of the year.


I am eternally grateful for having so many wonderful customers who have chosen to shop with us year after year.  We're proud to have developed a warm and friendly cyber relationship with  customers around the globe, and we share a bond of trust.  If you are a first time visitor, we welcome you and want you to feel safe shopping with us at Melange-Art.  It is our promise that your personal information will never to sold or shared with a third party, along with a guarantee that all our items are authentic, as described, and owned by us or consigned. All photographs are original and are actual pictures of items listed for sale an not copied or reproduced.


Happy holidays one and all and many blessings for the New Year.
