GeekStar

Hello sweet geek babes! Gentle reminder that GeekStar is not open for business, because Claire is learning to TALK TO ROBOTS. 😂💖😂 This career switch into being a Software Developer is super intense, so it takes every bit of spare time and energy and doing anything with GeekStar is currently impossible. Who knows what may happen when life settles down again, but we can't promise if and when that would be. We still see you, we still hear you, we still love you. This community means the world to us! . Currently, you can still get a few GeekStar jewelry designs at @metropdx on Hawthorne in #PDX, but that's it. If and when we ever reopen shop you will hear it here first, so thank you, dedicated darlings, for sticking around just in case 😘😁😉 . And oh hey, Claire here, who wants a badass, creative, loveable, capable Fullstack Software Developer on their team? Because the job hunt starts meow and I would LOVE to find my people out there. 😻😽 PM me here! . #womenwhocode #womenintech #geekgirlcon #geekstarcostuming #geekstar #talktorobots (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2e5j79BHqk/?igshid=cqfdkuvu8gos

Thank you #ECCC! We love you! No more GeekStar for the foreseeable future, but this account will stick around for any news and updates as life continues to happen 😂 💖💖💖 Thank you endlessly for the last 10 years! This has been the best gig one could possibly dream up and pretend to be a professional about 😂 now to go do it again with something new!

Some BIG things going on over here at GeekStar! Please read! . 1. We WILL be vending at #EmeraldCityComicon next week with tons of lasercut jewelry and possibly some LED cat ears. Booth #209, same space as the last few years over near-ish the Dark Horse booth. . 2. Claire is headed into an intensive computer programming bootcamp in April and just went through a tragic loss in her family last month, which is why the online shop has been closed with little communication. It's been a lot, to put it mildly. Apologies for any inconvenience! . 3. Also, as has been the plan for a while we have no plan to reopen the online shop. (we do not know if that might change in the future) and this is the LAST CONVENTION we have planned. Yeah, ever. Will that change? We really don't know! But as far as we can tell we should give fair warning that this is the final countdown! 🤯 . 4. That means FINAL CON PARTY!! If you have wanted ANYTHING, for yourself or gifts or future holiday surprises, this is your best bet. There is no next time. Come see us! . And of course, as always, thank you all. It's been nearly 10 years running this little ship! GeekStar has been the hugest, most rewarding endeavor of our little lives, hands down. . If you have a fun memory of us you wanna share in the comments from all these years of slinging geeky goods we would love that 😍😘 Stay shiny friends, we'll be seeing ya 😉😘😊 oh, and stay subscribed here for any potential future updates or changes 😉 if it happens it'll happen here.

Babes! Babes! Hi! Hello!! I have BIG NEWS. OK, so remember how I was closing my shop on New Years? A few of you caught that? Wellll...life happened instead! And I reopened today!! . I am sad to announce that a Big Deal life changing family emergency occurred over the holidays, and it's put a serious wrench in my life plans and emotional ability to do much these days. . But I have to keep on living, and so I'm reopening my shop! For a while anyway! I know that will be a silver lining for many of you. I have throttled my listings for now, but I'm here and i'm still selling a lot of my bestsellers, and you should go get them STAT! . Spread the word that I'm not dead after all, and people can still get #stargate hoop earrings, yeah? I deeply appreciate it. I'm really hurting financially from this 😭. .

Alright babes, there it is if you want it. All weekend, through Monday, take your time :) try to be gentle on yourselves this weekend, the holidays can be so much pressure. . Special note from Claire: As a reminder, I'll be closing my shop indefinitely on January 1st, it's been a wonderful run of 10+ years (my etsy shop turned 10 this year!) and I appreciate every one of you more then you know. I am going to code school and broadening my skill set immensely! One thing you can be sure of is that I will make, make, make no matter where I end up. I'm keeping GeekStar's social media active to let everyone know any relevant updates, such as if I revamp my shop at any point, if I start a new one or if there are neat things in the small artist community I think you would like :) I have many artist friends that make incredible stuff that you should know about! . Anything I make this holiday goes directly to my tuition and I endlessly, endlessly appreciate it 💖 . Love you babes, always and forever. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 💎www.GeekStarCostuming.com💎 💖Patreon.com/GeekStar💖 (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqiEpYdBmZs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13yh9hnis6it4

Heyo! Tiny business has to try to have a holiday rush too and all. 😉 Don't worry though, I won't bug you much. I know we all have a lot on our plates during the holidays and as little corporate overwhelm as possible is my preference. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 💎www.GeekStarCostuming.com💎 💖Patreon.com/GeekStar💖 (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaURykgw_X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16fd1w3tij0jo

Holy moly! Tumblr, you do this little artist a humble. After my last Stargate Hoops post I made a dozen sales in a day after my post went viral over there, which never happens these days! . I was a bit unprepared for the rush of orders, and since I'm running my shop from the road right now I'm having to take a week to restock. . But no fear! #Stargate hoops will be available again the weekend of #SmallBusinessSaturday (Nov. 24th) and in the meantime I have Symbol earrings and all Stargate necklaces in stock. Link in bio as always 💖 . Thanks, as always, for keeping this small artist alive my loves. It's sincerely, intimately, personally appreciated. From me to you. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 💎www.GeekStarCostuming.com💎 💖Patreon.com/GeekStar💖 (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqAgkD2hzVO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ja8a45n3smkh

NEW in my online shop! Mirrored Silver rupees and Purple pixel hearts! You can find each new color in the drop down menus for each listing. Limited quantities of each.
