Alice in Wonderland Necklace Giveaway

14 Mar, 2010 by in necklacce 14 comments

Today’s giveaway is from Cherished Trinkets! She makes amazing vintage jewelry and you’ll fall in love with her site!

I have always loved jewellery, right from being a small girl, raiding my Mothers Jewellery box (something I got into quite big trouble for). I would marvel at all the facets in the semi precious and precious stones and look in awe at the different coloured reflections from the glass beads. Most of my jewellery is created using sterling silver or silver plate to suit various purses. I first started making jewellery over two years ago, having found salvation in designing and creating something that can be worn and cherished for years to come, and soon became addicted to designing commissions and one off’s for people in all walks of life. I have also designed pieces for local shops specialising in items with a little difference. I really love the splendour and glamour of vintage jewellery and enjoy trying to represent this in some of my designs with the use of Cameos, freshwater and glass pearls and vintage beads. If I find something old that needs rescuing from an old jewellery item I shall try my hardest to find it a new home!

To Enter To Win an Alice in Wonderland Handmade Necklace: donate $1.00 minimum using the button on right.sidebar to our Chile relief fund. My friends over there need winter blankets and clothes. Their seasons are opposite the U.S. so it is getting cold living outdoors and I can buy items here on clearance!

Photography Friday

12 Mar, 2010 by in etsy 3 comments


Today’s featured photographer is Girl and Typewriter!
“I am a crafter and university student in Richmond, Virginia. I mostly make cards and stationery, decorating them with watercolor illustrations, quilled paper objects or hand embroidery. I also like to find small things on the ground and use them in collages and other creations. I’ve always loved photography, and felt especially inspired to photograph everything and everyone during the six months I lived in Santiago, Chile. I’ve recently rediscovered these negatives and am selling hand-developed photos from my time in Chile, donating the profits to the current earthquake relief efforts there. Please consider supporting this initiative!”

I lived in Chile for 6 months, and all the places I went and all the people I met there are so much a part of who I am now. All of the profits from these prints will go towards a charity fund for the earthquake relief efforts there. They say Chile Relief Print in the title so you know. I have listed six so far, and may post more soon. Prints do not come with frames or mats; they do come packaged with love and care.

This picture measures approximately 5″ by 7″ and was printed on professional Ilford paper. It shows a dog I met one day while exploring the neighborhood of Bellavista, Santiago

I’m Running A Little Behind

11 Mar, 2010 by in ARC tour, YA fiction 2 comments

Because I have been doing this!
20 food kits and 50 hygiene kits for the victims of the Chile earthquake. So far I have paid for it all out of pocket. We have $10 already donated in $75 in giveaway pledges. It is such a worth while cause. We really need a lot more money to help. This is enough for four-six families. It is a start and it goes in the mail today!!! Click the yellow DONATE button on the right hand sidebar. Every little bit helps and 100% goes directly to Chilean families.
So…since I am late 🙂 Here are my last three week’s “In My Mailbox Posts”



If you are interested in being on my ARC tour lists for any of these titles, please email me the name of the book and your address. THANKS!

Yellow Rose Perfume CHILE Relief Giveaway

10 Mar, 2010 by in etsy 24 comments

Today’s giveaway is from etsy seller and Chile native, L’aromatica! Her hometown, Talca was destroyed by the earthquake and she want to give back to her country…

Loreto is an artisan perfumer and graphic designer. She lives with her husband and teenage son in a sunny flat on Haight Street in San Francisco.

Loreto creates all of L’aromatica’s fragrances from scratch using pure essential oils mixed with a little fragrance oil when necessary, for scents that nature can’t produce. L’aromatica also carries All-Natural perfumes that are made using only 100% pure essential oils diluted in jojoba oil, for those who are sensitive or opposed to the use of synthetics. Even for straightforward, single-floral scents like Honeysuckle, Gardenia or Jasmine, Loreto creates her own blend, based on her perception of the true flower fragrance.

Loreto doesn’t just pour fragrance oils and bottle them as her own. Every perfume she offers is a handmade, original creation. A lot of love is put into every scent, plus hours of attention and patience.

Natural perfumes are much more subtle than mass-produced, “name brand” perfumes but develop amazing qualities, once on the skin. Once applied, a natural perfume will combine with your body chemistry to create a scent unique to you. Natural perfumes contain no harsh chemicals, additives, fillers or fixatives. L’aromatica uses only the best quality essential oils (most are organic) and fragrance oils that do not contain phthalates (whenever possible.)

Brightly Woven Purse Chile Relief Giveaway

09 Mar, 2010 by in purse 30 comments

Today’s Chiule relief giveaway is from Etsy seller Lorena Ferreira.
Hello everyone, my name is Lorena. I was born in Chile and raised in New York. I started knitting first (self taught at 19), then crocheting when I was expecting my second baby (I have 3), and finally weaving–self taught too–I read everything that comes into my hands, of course the internet, …but mainly I get my hands “dirty” and weave.

I explore, experiment, and intuition is my way of going about making all my textiles. I start with colors—putting them next to each other…sometimes it takes weeks for me to figure out what will go with what…and the where is an ongoing process during the weaving (or crocheting…or felting). I learned to wet felt last year (self taught…what a surprise)…and I love it.

I make one of a kind textiles, non-reproducible (I’ve tried) , unique…..as you will see (and feel hopefully).

Description
This one of a kind and unique clutch is just bursting with color, ready to go to a party, to cocktails, work..anywhere. The truth is she just wants to be seen!!!
Crocheted in two shades of rosie pink and bulky rainbow…she then went for a swim in hot water and soap, and came out beautifully felted and strong.
Spunky hand felted blossom in handspun/handyed rainbow with black petals and a huge pinback so you can wear it on your coat, scarf….
she is 10-12″ wide
and 8″tall (without handles..add 3 more inches)
