Waking Up

Hello!
We have been super busy on the Blu Sparrow side of things. We actually made enough money to go to the eco-craftacular fair but sadly enough we got into issues with chase bank last week that have hindered us from being able to enter at this time. Always next year right?
With that being said our $2.00 sale is still going on. Which is always a plus and helps us while getting everyone the sweets the need and love.


Also going on this week our mystery box is back! I bet many are wondering whats going to be in it this week. So far we have done "Carrot Cake Balls" and "On The Rocks". What could happen next?


We have a new goal for this month also for you guys to keep in mind when you buy which would be a food processor. We figure it sounds awesome and makes cool sounds.

Our playlist for the week will be delayed until later on this week while we try to get everything sorted out with Chase. Be safe!

What are you doing?

We've been getting alot of requests for this so here it is! You can pick any of three of our chocolates and get them in a sampler pack. So if you've ever wondered how hat an 'Ugly Duckling" is or what a "Dark Chocolate Sparrow's Egg" tastes like with a side of "The Ex Boyfriend" now's your chance. Plus with us having a $2.00 off sale this is like a steal. Literally, a steal!



Your choices:

Milk Chocolate Sparrows Eggs 4 Count
Dark Chocolate Sparrows Eggs 4 Count
Ugly Ducklings 4 Count
On The Rocks 4 Count
The Ex Boyfriend 1 Inch

In other news where were we this week?
We were featured on HeathensHearth's blog for being so yummie!
You can read that blog here




$2.00 off items in the store and it works like it normally does. If you buy carrot cake balls $2 off and then if you buy on the rocks $2.00 off which means you have saved $4.00 and get to be extremely happy and jolly!

So close you can taste it!

We are so close to our goal for the month to participate in the eco-craft fair but we need your help!
We cant do this alone...I mean we could but it wouldnt feel as community involved without you guys helping us!


I know I know it seems like every week we are having a sale but thats not true! Its more like every other week....
Anyway get pumped up!!!! Its $2.00 off items in the store and it works like it normally does. If you buy carrot cake balls $2 off and then if you buy on the rocks $2.00 off which means you have saved $4.00 and get to be extremely happy and jolly!

Or maybe you just want to try out some of our new stuff. Which means that now you can try out "The Ex. Boyfriend" for $3.50 after you get your $2.00 off. Which is simply amazing. All monies are refunded via paypal refund!

All I know is that you get some awesome swag for $2.00 off and that means you should do it like you mean it. And by do it I mean buy!

Also don't forget we are a member of team eeat! All thanks to you guys!

So go forth and buy!

What was the mystery item?

If you didnt get in on the mystery box action this week you missed out on...dun dun dun


I know everyone has been wondering about the balls and that was everyones chance to get in! So congrats on the two people who go the boxes!

Now for the good stuff! We are introducing our newest chocolate today which is "The Ugly Duckling". These tiny little guys were not pretty enough for everyone else but well be wonderful in your mouth.
They are a cherry chocolate cayenne making this guys a smooth but spicy bite to chew on. The are also available in our shop today!



So what else is good with you? Oh what? You wanna know A FUN SECRET? Wait until tomorrow *giggles*

Pee Wee's Back and So Are We!

You guys guessed it! Our Mystery Box is back and good Old Pee Wee Herman is at the helm running the show just as he was last week!



He actually got some double time action because the first one of the week sold out in ONE HOUR!Since we didnt even have a chance to catch our breath we put him back up which means what is in him is still going to be a secret until after the second purchase of the box!!!!!

What else do we have in store???? Amazingness(yes this isnt a word) like you wont believe! We have our newest sweet coming at you today also. Its a layer of chocolate followed by a layer of cherry chocolate almond fudge, and then topped with another layer of chocolate!!!!
The name voted on and best suggested by Faeriedtreasures was:
The Ex-Boyfriend! Her exact quote was "It's nutty, and flaky, and it has your cherry!"
Gotta love something like that!

This is an amazing chunk of chocolate that you get. Its about 3 inches wide, 3 inches long, and 1cm under an inch deep. Which makes this insane to contain in one bite or even 9.

Our First

Last night was our first FFF and boy what a night it was. With V being a bit tired from her busy week I took the helm and ran it as blu. We got to interact with alot of the team members and it was all in all a good way to see what everyone else does. There is even a lady who makes candy!!!!!!! I was like sugar candy flavored stick things...SOLD!

With that being said tonight we are having another SNS! Yes I know we are getting into the habit of doing one. It is going to be the same format as last week except maybe there will be a bit more to it. Just means you have to participate to find out what awesome things we have in store for buyers!

Thank-you very much to Double Dipped for lettings us participate in last nights FFF.



Also keep an eye for Sunday. With us having such busy schedules its fun to take a breather from everything and have a bit of fun. ;)

Also what does blu need to do this month? Its going to sound easy but we are looking to turn a $30-$50 dollar profit this month for the Eco Craftacular Fair here in Columbus, Ohio. Thats right all of our profits this month are going to funding bringing blu to you! So help support us even with comments or fun adds on any of the sites we are on. Donate or buy random objects from the store. Also look out for us in the Etsy Forums! We will sometimes post deals of the day in there and that means it could be your day!

FFF is tonight at 8pm EST.

BUY BUY BUY!!!

Our sale is - 6 free On The Rocks chocolates per customer

and we have two secrets:

Get them and you will receive a free half order of the popcorn of your choice.

2 - We are in our first FFF tomorrow! So buy buy buy and get in on some awesome specials.

No More Mystery

Hey everyone! The mystery box went bye bye from our shop at a very fast rate. We can say within about 25 mins of posting it. Which means everyone gets to find out what they lost free shipping on and what someone else didnt today.


Magical mystery of the box solved everyone :D. Just goes to show what the power of the box can do! Especially when it is holding some blusparrow treats.
What else is new with us? As usual we have been spotted on the web seeing as this is technically where have you seen blusparrow on the web day! We got a ton of people sending us convo's about us being in the gift guide which is awesome and amazing and we thank-you all for that. You guys are all participating and that means we should participate more a bit ourselves?



With that being said we are working on more things for you guys to enjoy. We actually also received a few ideas from everyone which is awesome. Thats great! We appreciate all new ideas being sent to us at:
blusparrowtreats@yahoo.com

We so far have heard:
Moose Munch Popcorn
Sour Cream and Onion Popcorn
Cupcakes
"Something Lemon" (lol I guess we have to guess at that one)
Chocolate Cherry Brownies

And if we have missed something you has suggested remind us and send that idea to us at:
blusparrowtreats@yahoo.com

Also what does blu need to do this month? Its going to sound easy but we are looking to turn a $30-$50 dollar profit this month for the Eco Craftacular Fair here in Columbus, Ohio.

Mystery Box!

Ok! So who has ever given in to the desire of the mystery box? Some people watch it on Deal or No Deal and others well they just want to know whats in the box!!!!!! Starting this week we will be offering our own "Mystery Box".
Here is how it works:
The first person to buy the "Mystery Box" in our store DOESN'T pay for shipping on the box.


Even Pee Wee Herman is in on this one which is how you know this is an awesome event!!!! So what else makes this sooooo AWESOME???? If you buy another item with your purchase of the mystery box the shipping on that item drops down to $3.50!
Which if you haven't noticed is half off shipping on most of our items.

This is BANANAS! Yea, I said it!!!! We are going to give the most ultimate thrill of a life time in your mouth. YEA, I said that too!!!!!!!

When the box is purchased from our store we will reveal in our blog what the mystery items was...well not us. Pee Wee Herman will!!!!! How could this get any more exciting?????

Actually I dont know but this is pretty exciting! Go forth and buy :D

SNS

Today is the day everyone!


Take a 1.50 off everything in the shop. So if you buy sparrow's eggs take off $1.50 and then if you are all about our cake balls and buy those too take off another $1.50 which means you've just saved 3 dollars on 2 things of awesomeness from our store.
Of course this is all functioned by the fact that you get a paypal refund for taking advantage of this sale. Technically that means you are getting almost 15% of more off on a purchase in our store!

Ahead A Day A Sale Announcement

Ahead A Day A Sale Announcement! Tomorrow we are having a SNS! Lol, yes a Saturday Night Sale. Think of this as our thank-you for your support so you get to take a 1.50 off everything in the shop. So if you buy sparrow's eggs take off $1.50 and then if you are all about our cake balls and buy those too take off another $1.50 which means you've just saved 3 dollars on 2 things of awesomeness from our store.

So thank-you for your support in helping us join TEAM EEAT! Take this time to let us treat you :)

3 Days in 1

We made TEAM EEAT!!!!!! Thanx for all of your support guys! Its just a very positive experience when people give back and put in their heart and others do the same. You guys helped make our dream come true and for that we thank you.
With that originally we were going to introduce a ton of things today but alas our pictures for it did not turn out so great. So we will hopefully be introducing are luscious treat next week with a few others.
Also we completely missed our own where have you seen Blu Sparrow day!!!! The original idea was to try and cram 3 days into 1 but lets not rush this lets take it slow. Anyway this is the calander for the end of the week and beyond:

Whats going down from our store:

Chai Tea Latte: Is moving into the Fall season. The pumpkin spices dont exactly match the Spring atmosphere.

Pheonix: Is moving into the Summer season. Its chilli spices and strong burn might be more suited for a time in which "heat" is the only thing on your mind.

Taco: Also moving to the Summer...maybe. Lol

So here is the deal eventually these guys are going to find their way to the dust bin of Etsy but it doesnt have to be in vane! Everyone can get in on this guys now and make a swift purchase to get in on these guys before they become seasonal!

Also up for debate I personally would love to grow as a store. I am looking for any awesome vegan treat recipies or ideas that you guys are willing to throw at us/me.
Send them to: blusparrowtreats@yahoo.com

Blu Beginnings

Blu Sparrow had a busy weekend that didnt allow for much wiggle space so I personally apologize for the missing blog of yesterday. We are coming out with a new line of products for you guys. We are also changing a few things in our shop.
On the plus side of the world we are officially running for "Team EEAT" everyone helped us out alot and it just goes to show what a little team work and positive feedback can do. Which is actually alot. We reached our goal Friday/Saturday and we a more than excited to await the decession on the team on whether or not we can be in it.
We are going to be introducing something tomorrow that will blow your mind. Bang Bang Bang BLOWN!
On the negative side we are going to start doing things by season in some cases. This is the last week for Chai Tea until the fall when we bring it back. The pumpkin and sweet cinnamon seasonings is more of a fall treat and we think it would be best to make it more of a fall specialty item. So take a look in our shop and buy it now or later on in the year. If you go to buy it and want a discount send us a convo and say "its a sad spring but going to be a happy fall".
Thats code for take off some duckets on this order.

Blu With Envy

Today's "Blu With Envy" segment caught me by surprise. I rolled over the image and was like hmmm fancy stuffs...but then I read what it was and my eyes had to back track.

Pomegranate Caramels! Why I have never heard of such a thing. So I figured you should hear about it too!

Now lets be honest here mmmmm. Is just not going to do it. These sweet treats scream to be eaten and sucked on mmmmmmm.



This is by etsy user CaramelJubilee and her shop is more than worth a look through. I think she makes about 7 or 9 different varieties of caramel and that means 7-9 chances for you to pick up some!

Also our feedback sale ended yesterday! Thanx to everyone who participated :D

Ta Da!

We've been talking about it all week! Its our carrot cake balls!!!!!!!!


Rolled into perfection and covered with caramel and cheese cream icing these guys are a dangerous addition to our shop. Especially since our "Team EEAT" sale is coming to an end this weekend. We've got alot of support from you guys and this is what its all about!

We work hard so that your taste buds rock hard and we love that you love us. Lol, if that makes sense of course!



Get these guys in our shop today!!!!!!

Where in the world is Blu Sparrow?

Today is a boggle of a day. We are making some popcorn and eating dinner and its going to be alright. So where did you guys see us this week?
Last weeks submissions were awesome. You guys sent us links to where people wrote about us in a blog or even if we popped up randomly on photobucket. This is week is just as good. We were mention in another blog and also we popped up on the mycraft front page again as usual.

trystbykerry.etsy.com

And here is the normal open book story. Lol, an awesome shot from mycraft!

With Open Eyes and Arms

Last week was an awesome week for Blu Sparrow. Not only did our blog win a competition/contest on another blog but we also got a little bit of loving from last Sunday's choice for fashion.

First we have Preppy Peach who completely rocked the house with us last Sunday with her indie hat for our Rock Band characters. Which is beyond awesome. She got in contact with us and offered us something as cool as her hats. Check it out:





Stellar Preppy Peach just stellar!

Now as everyone knows we read every blog that we follow. Its just due to the whole "Blogger Captcha" malfunction we cant respond to everyones. Well while reading a blog of a fellow etsy user we thought "Hey why not enter this contest?" Turns out we won.
So much love goes out to Burgandy! If you haven't looked through her store or checked out her blog you should do so!
