TICKET SALE !

Ahah yes, you read properly. I am running a ticket sale, because I woke up to a 42$ parking ticket this morning, on a street with no signs in sight to prohibit parking. Anyway. I can't afford to loose a day of work to go to court (As it is going to cost me me than 42 $ in the end) so I am running a ticket sale. Life gives you lemons, make lemonade ! So my lemonade is giving YOU the opportunity to get 20% off all my items (Except the breast cancer items) because I got a nice red and white paper on my windshield !

Happy shopping =)

Oh wow ! I'm still alive !

I know, I haven't posted in a big while, but for a reason : I'm in the middle of a big move. Yes, I'm moving away from mum and dad's, with my hubby. This is going to be awesome.

There are little things I don't like about the apartment we rented, but that can always be fixed. The mirror in the bathroom and the silicon sealing are a few of these things. The mirror is really old, and doesn't really look like a mirror anymore, so what we'll do is buy a new one and put the old one back when we move out, and for the silicon sealing, we're going to redo it completly, as it is a matter of personal taste and not a necessary thing.

I will be able to post photos soon, when the paint is going to be dry and when our furniture is going to be moved. I think we'll make something nice out of it...

Jewelry related : Even though we're moving, my items are still available for sale, as I have access to internet, and access to my boxes (Yes, they are clearly identified ! I'm so organised, I can't believe it.) Also, you can visit my website for information on new collections that are going to be for sale soon !

I'll be posting pictures soon...

Breast Cancer Awereness

I am not the only one to sell pink ribbon items ! Let's see what other Etsy sellers have...

The House of Mouse has a cute little Charity mouse ! This little mouse loves to support worthy causes, and she is really concerned with the growing number of men and women affected with breast cancer each year. She proudly wears her pink ribbon, and goes around telling people how important it is to encourage breast cancer research so one day, we find a cure.

Anna, the owner of The House of Mouse will give 5$ of the price of this mouse to the International Breast Cancer Research Foundation (www.ibcrf.org) for more details, http://thehouseofmouse.etsy.com

There is also The Pig and the Peacock who sells special pink ribbon items. In this case, we are not looking at adorable mice, but at awesome pink ribbon soaps ! For each set of three soaps sold, 1.50$ will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Since 10 million women will die from breast cancer in the next 25 years, the foundation works very hard to save those lives. These numbers need to go down so we, one day, can eradicate breast cancer for good.

These soaps are made with goat milk, and smells like gardenia and tuberose. It is guaranteed to leave your skin super soft =) For more details, visit http://thepigandthepeacock.etsy.com


My own items are still for sale, if you're up for some jewelry ! 75% of my profits will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, for my participation at the Run for the Cure.



Thanks for helping us fight breast cancer.

Jewelry for a good cause

This year, approximately 22 400 canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 5300 of them will not survive.

This is the reason why some friends and I decided to enroll for the CIBC Run for the Cure, for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. On October 5th 2008, we will walk 5 km for all the men and women affected by breast cancer. (Not only women can have breast cancer, let's not forget it !) We are very motivated, and have a team objective of 3200$. We are planning diverse activities during the summer, such as bowling nights, movies nights and even a beach party BBQ.

As a part of the fund raising, I will be donating 75% or my profits on the pink items listed in my shops. Some of them have been created specially for this event, some of them were already listed for sale. If, however, you do not wish to purchase pink items but still make a donation, there is a possibility to sponsor me. Donations can be made online, on the Run for the Cure website. It is fast and secure, and can be anonymous or not. For more information, see the link below.

Help us create a future without breast cancer.
