The move to Artfire is gaining momentum...



The move to Artfire is gaining momentum. In fact, I've even fallen a little behind with listings as my Etsy stuff expires! So, please have a look at my new shop:
http://www.artfire.com/users/Bebopgirl1969Jewelry (or click on today's blog title)

But there's still a lot of jewelry left at Etsy, too:

And I haven't moved anything from my Blythe shop yet:

Through Thursday, March 31st, £1 from each item sold will be donated to Red Nose Day:
http://www.rednoseday.com/

And I am designing a new line of Buddha jewelry, which will launch at Artfire and from which I will donate money to Japan. I'm very excited about the items I've made so far!

If you would like to purchase an item from my etsy shop but are concerned about the recent privacy snafu, please see my previous blog post.

New Shop!

Exciting news! I'm slowly moving over my Etsy listings to a brand new Artfire shop: http://www.artfire.com/users/Bebopgirl1969Jewelry

I'm still selling at Etsy, so please feel free to continue shopping there as well. However, as items expire they will be moved to Artfire.

I know that Etsy has been in the news lately, and not for good reasons. I have been slowly growing disenchanted with them for the past few years and have finally just had enough. If you want something at either of my Etsy shops but are worried about the recent privacy concerns, you can message me and I will remove the item from my shop and invoice you privately.

No matter where you choose to shop for my handmade jewelry, I will donate £1 for every item sold to Red Nose Day throughout the month of March. And I am planning a special fundraiser for Japan in April!

Red Nose Day!



It's Red Nose Day in the UK! This is a fun time--people do crazy and funny and awe-inspiring and creative things to raise money for charities in the UK & Africa. A few years back I sold enough handmade greeting cards and jewelry to supply one village in Africa with mosquito nets. Can you help me do something similar this year? Please? :)

For every item you buy in either of my etsy shops during the entire month of March, I will donate £1 to Red Nose Day. If you would like to buy items from both shops, message me--I will combine the postage. If you are worried or angry about the recent privacy fiasco at etsy, please message me as well--I'll removed the items from my shop and invoice you separately. Here are the links to my shops (or, even easier, just click the links to the left of this post!):

Blythe: http://www.etsy.com/shop/planetblythe

(Next month I am planning something special for Japan!)
