A quick shout out for some good causes...
There are some really good folk around raising money for worthy causes in various ways, and if you're a shop owner, there are lots of ways to get involved. Here are just of couple.
Mimi, from Mum4Beads is raising money for the British Heart Foundation. You can read about her efforts and donate here:

Lots of Folksy sellers have donated items for her event as well. You can see the Folksy thread about this here.
Huskies in Need are having a Facebook auction in March. You can see details here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Charity-Auction-for-Huskies-in-Need/179927152041801
There are loads of lovely things to bid for, many of them handmade. Chris from Chrissys on Folksy has also donated some beautiful handmade cards too.
And a quick reminder that these pink mookaite and rhodonite earrings on sale in my Folksy shop are being sold in aid of Macmillan Cancer Care:
They'd be a great present for mother's day perhaps?

Children in Need: crafting for charity
Blue Forest Jewellery is having its first charity auction this week. These items are open to bids from my work colleagues - hopefully they will bid generously because they really want the jewellery, as well as to show their support for charity. So far, after 1 day, the combined bids amount to £42, which I think is a great start!
I'm delighted to be able to contribute in this way. I'm not one for sports, or dyeing my hair green, or sponsored silences, so I usually end up just sending a cash donation. This seems like a lot more fun, if a bit more stressful (I don't find it easy blowing my own trumpet, even for charity!) and I'm giving more generously by donating the items too.
Let's hope Friday is a good night and lots of money is raised. Here's the link if you want to make a direct donation.

Dreamy Wednesday: Pretty things
Some lovely new listings were spotted on Dreamaid this week.
Here's a selection.
I love this doll by Mollys knitted. In fact, her whole selection is beautiful - perfect toys if you're looking for something traditional, with no hard parts and for a real girly little girl.
These heart charm earrings with purple dragon vein and banded agate by Piggyimp Arts would make a great present. You know how I love natural semi precious gemstones, and purple is one of Pantone's key colours for 2010 fall.
Very colourful, hand-embroided bag by blueshed crafts. It's as beautiful inside as it is out - check out the listing to see why.
And lastly, for the person that you thought had everything, and is extremely difficult to buy for, why not try the Bacon and Egg Scarf by The Happy Crocheter? Truly unique, I think. Also check out her cheeseburger scarf (yes, you read that right!) and some beautiful cloche hats.
Don't forget to watch out for news of Dreamaid's new sales brochure on their blog and facebook pages.

Dreamy Thursday - A green theme
Out in the countryside at the weekend, the profusion of different greens was spectacular and really made me think of how nature reflects her colours in plants and, happily for me, in gorgeous gemstones. I've just added a page here on the blog about jewellery combinations which I really enjoyed putting together - please have a glance and see what you think. In the meantime, here are some beautiful Dreamaid green makes with a touch of nature added!
1. A lovely cup of tea from dottery pottery
2. Beautiful necklace by the Glitter Tree
3. Cuddly greenfly by MinXtures
4. Three bags in one by FFSC
5. Green nebula pendant by Steam Punk Glass
6. Organza hair clip by Stowlyboxx
