Enjoy lunch at J/R's during breast cancer fundraiser

Women Supporting Women LogoThis Saturday, September 18th, I shall be guiltlessly devouring a pulled pork sandwich from J/R's The Place for Ribs. I rarely order barbecue sandwiches, but there's a reason J/R's version is so famous - it's delicious! This particular lunch, which also includes a side of cole slaw, chips and a drink, will probably taste even better than usual, because the $10 spent on it will benefit Women Supporting Women, a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide awareness, education and support to all those who are affected by breast cancer.

Breast Cancer Awareness FairyI've donated 20 of my breast cancer awareness fairy magnets to the cause. They're smaller and packaged more creatively than available online. I've enfolded them in plastic and tied both ends with pink ribbon. They remind me of giant taffy wrappers. If that thought has you craving a sweet treat - don't worry, there will be mounds of scrumptious baked goods available, including my mama's oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip bars. Join me and my sugar tooth at 11:30am in the J/R's parking lot on 131st Street and Coastal Highway in Ocean City, Maryland.

If that's a little far for you to travel and you'd still like to support the fundraiser by buying my fairy, I am also donating $5 from every purchase of the "Aware" 8x10 print in my Artfire shop.

Handmade Giveaway: Scarf from Elizabeth Koh

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over. Congratulations to Susana Silva for submitting the randomly-chosen 392nd entry. Normal people go to the beach in the summer, but I prefer autumn when it's more peaceful. The weather may be chilly, but that's why scarves come in handy! Not to mention that they're also a fun fashion accessory. One winner will get to choose any scarf under $40 from Elizabeth Koh to heat up an outfit. Elizabeth Koh is not one person, but two - both Janelle and Megan's middle names are Elizabeth, and Koh means island in Thailand, where they handcraft all their cotton and silk scarves. Every collection is named after a beach or island in Thailand and feature a range of weights for wearing in several seasons. Elizabeth Koh is committed to improving the communities where their products are made, so 10% of proceeds are donated to SOS Children's Villages in Thailand. Not only will you help feed others by buying a scarf this holiday season, you'll al...

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...

Handmade Giveaway: Spring Leaf Anklet by Erthe Fae Designs

EDIT: Giveaway is officially over! Congratulations to the randomly chosen 95th commenter, Brooke! The season of buds and blossoms isn't over yet! The spring leaf anklet above will bloom into a lovely addition to one reader's accessory garden. It is one of a kind, planted in the Erthe Fae Designs studio by AJ Reardon. The Czech glass beads and satiny leaf-shaped beads are strung on sturdy, flexible beading cable which holds up well to daily wear. Anklet is adjustable from 10" to 12" and fastens securely with a sterling silver lobster clasp and extender chain. The delicate hues of green and opalescent white will catch the light, whether you're wearing it with a shimmering belly dance costume or a casual pair of capri pants. AJ draws inspiration from mythology, literature, folk lore and the natural world to create a variety of steampunk and fantasy jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, and chandelier earrings. The influence of tribal belly dance also gleams brigh...
