Etsyians Unite for World AIDS Day

I wanted to participate in the Bloggers Unite group activity for World AIDS Day, which is easy to do on my personal blog, but I was unsure how best to do so here the blog for my shop. But then I saw some other neat promos on Etsy, which inspired me as well. So here’s my idea: For any purchases in my shop completed on December 1, I will donate 10% of the item price to the South Central Wisconsin AIDS Network.

Are you promo-ing for World AIDS Day? I would be happy to help spread the word. If you are doing something similar in your shop, I invite you to post the details in a comment. (Just World AIDS day promos; no spam or other promos, please.)

Helping the Hungry for Thanksgiving

This is a tough year for many people, with anxious days ahead. For Thanksgiving (and every day) I’d like to recommend the “click to give” Hunger Site. Corporate sponsors make a small contribution each time you click the Give Free Food link on the page, helping to support organizations including Feeding America (the new name for America’s Second Harvest).

A Very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

I haven’t been able to blog much lately, but these little guys are cheering me up on a snowy day.

When in Doubt, Piglet . . .

I’m feeling very random today. It must be the change in seasons. I also couldn’t figure our how on earth to describe or display these. So I did what anyone would do: a pig and a pun.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Fall Reds

It’s a beautiful day here, yet the trees are also starting to change colors and I’m fascinated by the fall reds on the maple leaves. I thought I’d also look for some patterns and colors to echo this in magnet sets, including this brand new Red Gumdrop set.

Ths Shop's First Quarter!

It was fun to realize, somewhat belatedly, that the 13 Delancey Street shop on Etsy has just passed its first quarter! It was even more fun to make the first quarterly donation to Carbonfund.org, which is the donation partner I’ve chosen for 2008. While my initial plan, as posted in the shop, was only to donate 1% of sales — to celebrate our first quarter I moved the decimal point one place and instead donated 10% of our first three months’ sales. And how nice — Carbonfund emailed me a certificate!

Fall Colors, Fall Circles

It’s been an interesting few weeks, and it’s very nice to be back. I’ve been thinking a lot about things coming full circle, and watching the fall colors begin to change. So here’s a little item along those lines, which I’m just calling Fall Colors - Circle Magnets — with my hopes that life is good for all of you!
