Dog Adoptions

If you missed the Rachel Ray show today, check out Glenn Close's blog Lively Licks at http://www.fetchdog.com/blogs/livelylicks.

I think it's great that people like Rachel Ray and Glenn Close use their celeb status to get the word of animal adoption out!

I've also added a link "Charitable Shops of Stars" to my charitable sites links. A percentage of the total of ALL your purchases—whether from the recommendations or not—will be donated to select dog charities. There is no added cost to you.

Self-Representing Artist Jewlery

My shop has been featured in the October 2008 showcase for Self Representing Artist Jewelry! How exciting! Click the link to see my shop. http://srajewelry.com/

What is SRAJD? An SRAJD member sells jewelry that they designed and created, without the use of a middleman or agent to sell for them. When you purchase from an SRAJD member, you are buying directly from and supporting the artist. Click on the "roster" to find shops of the talented SRAJD group! http://www.hathorrising.com/SRAJD/InfoPage.htm

Special thanks to Laura Bracken for setting up the sites above and bringing attention to all of the talented self-representing artist jewelry designers!
