Hi everyone! I'll be selling my jewelry and home goods at this years 6th Annual Sunday Soiree at the Metropolis Theater, in downtown Arlington Heights on Sunday October 4th! 10% of my sales and a jewelry donation from my nature line will be donated by Bonzai Beadwear (me!)

An exclusive evening for women complete with wine, shoes, chocolate, purses, conversation and theater. Start your evening in the Metropolis ballroom – sip wine, nibble hors d’oeuvres, savour desserts, shop in some of the most unique boutiques in the Northwest suburbs and take part in our fabulous Soiree raffle tradition. Then it’s into the theater for an exclusive performance of Pump Boys and Dinettes where Highway 57 is home to a fun-loving gas pumpin’ blues and rock’n’roll singing crew. Whether they’re singing about a heartthrob cashier at Woolworths, having a private concert with Dolly Parton, or just wanting bigger tips, this cheery crew will get you into the groove of their rockin’ tunes.

Every life deserves nine cats ...

I want to take a second and tell everyone about a wonderful etsy shop I came across. 9LivesPhotography sells photos of cats that reside at two Chicago area animal shelters, Felines Inc. and Animal Care League. She donates 50-100% of sales (minus fees and shipping) to Felines Inc. (www.felinesinc.org) and Animal Care League (www.animalcareleague.org).

I purchased these two sweet cards! It feels great knowing that a portion of the sale will go towards helping our little feline friends :)

Site for a good cause!

Though etsy.com, I have seen a lot of posts from sellers....but here is one from a seller (http://myveryprettythings.com) that really caught my attention. She is trying to help out her friend, who has cancer and needs all the help she can get to get through this hard time in her life.

Please check out her site for further information on how you can help! :)
