Giveaway & auction extended through Tuesday!

Heya, friends! My Friday the 13th auction is still running and has been extended by 24 hours. It will end tomorrow night at 7:00 Pacific time, a little over 25 hours from now. All of the pieces shown in the collage are up for bid, along with many others. As I type, there are a dozen pieces without bids and many more with just 1-2 bids. There is also a door prize giveaway!

Not only will the proceeds from this auction help support a hard-working disabled couple with limited income, but we are also donating 10% of this month’s proceeds (after PayPal fees) to Nar Nar’s Voyages to help a little girl battling leukemia and her family in their time of need.

Time to play catch up… New pieces, discounts, upcoming auction & grab bags!

Heya, friends! I recently sent out questionnaires for fundraiser grab bags, and I’ll be working concurrently on getting the first sets of grab bags together, working on the last of the older custom orders, and making new pieces for my shop over the next couple of weeks. I’ll try to get better about posting them here again as I make new pieces. In the meantime, if you are due a reward and haven’t found the email titled “Grab Bag Questionnaire”, please get in touch and let me know that you haven’t received it.

You can see my newest coupon codes to the left… Just enter the code of your choice during checkout via my shop, either “MAY33” to save 33% on any pre-coupon purchase of at least $25 OR “FREESHIP” for free US S&H on any order of at least $15. Both are good through the end of May.

I’m planning a jewelry auction for the first weekend in June, most likely running from the 4th through the 8th. Keep an eye on my FB page for details as I figure them out; the auction will take place on FB. (If you have a moment to stop by and show my recent posts some love to help boost my signal, I’d appreciate that very much too!)

Oh, and before I forget… For anyone who missed it, here’s the screenshot of the donations your purchases in April helped me to make! I posted this on FB and forgot to share it here a couple of weeks ago.

This isn’t everything I’ve made since my last major jewelry upload, but here are some of the highlights… Some of these are still available in my shop, and I’ll have more added soon! Among my personal favorites of this bunch are the marijuana bud necklaces. As a medical marijuana patient who went from being on high doses of narcotics and many additional pharmaceuticals just to be able to function, to now just using my MMJ and about half of the meds I was on previously — no more narcotics! — along with a healthier diet, I am amazed at how much better I feel.

I’ve been pleased by the response so far, and I’ll continue to make marijuana-themed jewelry because I am a firm supporter of the legalization of marijuana for medical, spiritual and recreational use… Your purchase of any of those pieces will help you show your support for marijuana reform, and will also help make sure that this patient doesn’t have to go without her meds. If there is enough response, I’ll also start donating a percentage of sales of these pieces to organizations working toward reform. If you have suggestions for great orgs that are underfunded, please let me know! I’m always thrilled to have a chance to pay it forward after all of the help we’ve received along our journey out of serious poverty and the chronic threat of a return to homelessness.

Time for a bit of catch-up!

Hello, lovely people! It’s been forever since I’ve posted here, again… Eek! I really need to get better about this, don’t I? The past few months have just been so busy! The biggest news is that I was finally able to restock my supplies after our cross-country move, and I have been working hard to catch up on custom orders, while also rockin’ some awesome new designs that have been posted to my shop.

I also wanted to let you know that our fundraiser will be concluding at the end of the month. It would make such a huge difference in our lives if we reach our goal, and we’re already more than 2/3 of the way there. This is currently the only way to get grab bags or monthly jewelry subscription packages from Baubles & Blessings, and I’m not planning on making them available in any other way in the foreseeable future. So please take a look if you’re interested in snagging those rewards and/or helping us truly get back on our feet after our long journey to our new home. I’m looking forward to working on grab bags in April, once I’ve wrapped up the fundraiser and started receiving responses to the questionnaires I’ll be sending out to help me make sure that you’re happy with your surprise goodies.

Here’s some of what I’ve been working on over the past six weeks; more than a few of my recent non-custom creations are still available. I’ve also included a few pics sent in by my awesome happy customers. 🙂

I’d love to hear what you think of these recent creations! Which one is your favorite?

I hope that you’re all having a great 2015! Sending much love and wishing you only the brightest of blessings this year and in the future.

Love,
Bri

Bri

New Pieces

After a very busy 2 days, this morning has seen 22 new items added to my shop! Here’s a peek, in no particular order… I’d love to hear what you think! (If you’re on Facebook, why not pop over when you have a sec to catch up on everything going on over there?) We are continuing to add at least 50% of all incoming funds from sales to our emergency moving fund, so every single sale is a HUGE deal to us. Thanks so much for all of your love and support, friends!

New Jewelry

I made what I feel are some special new pieces during my most recent flamekeeping shift; you can get a peek at them above or head over to my shop to see details.  I would love to hear what you think!

A wee reminder… For the foreseeable future, at least 50% of all sales currently go directly to our moving fund to help us get to Seattle. Your support — whether purchasing, signal boosting or offering a morale boost — means more than you know. Thanks for being here and being amazing!

Massive Photo Update

For those who don’t follow me on Facebook, here’s an update in photos — much of what I’ve been up to over the past couple of weeks. I’ll post my most recent creations shortly, but many of the items shown here are still available for extremely reasonable prices in my shop on ArtFire. 🙂
