Ok, today is the last day (for now). And I saved something special for you. I recently ran over Rosebud's blog "For the love of beads". I have been there before but was not following. This time I realized that a terrible thing happened to her family. Her daughter Jenny is suffering from a form of blood cancer called multiple myeloma.
She has an etsy shop, and in there is a section called "for Jenny". She is updating it regularly and will give all that money to her daughter to help her with the expenses that this disease is causing.
I bought this pretty sunbead a few weeks ago, and though I exactly know what I want to make, I did not have the time to get there. So I show you this bead now, and I would like to encourage you to go there and help them out. She regularly updates the shop, so I got some more this week.
I think they need some love and the beads and jewelry she has in there is pretty and affordable. This is the right place to spend your money. And make sure to spread the word and come back and show us what you got.

It's just beautiful! And such a sad story. I know first hand how heart wrenching it is to see a child suffer.

Mallory's lampwork is really beautiful! Thanks for sharing your finds with us... and I really love the etched beads you showed the other day too! I am really in to the organic look of etched beads as well.
