I hope you are excited because is Friday!! I am so happy :)

I want to update you on some things from my shop. First of all, I'm happy and proud to inform that, to date, we have donated $240.00 USD to the Red Cross earthquake/Asia-Pacific tsunami relief 2011, all this from the purchase of my Refuge Necklace during the last weeks. I'm so happy for the response of costumers, they are jumping to the opportunity to help people in need and I truly appreciate the opportunity they have giving me to help, too during this devastating times for the Japanese people.

I also want to let you know that, as prices on silver are raising and I truly want this passion that is jewellery to grow into a business, keep creating new things and keep offering you great craftsmanship on my pieces, I'll be making some adjustments on my prices soon. I'll try to make it up to you, that always support me by offering discount codes and free shipping from time to time, this will be via my Facebook fan page.

Life

Days come and go, we laugh, we dream, we love, we live and most of the time life appears to be a strong, solid thing.

Then, things happen, nature does its thing and suddenly I remember how truly fragile and absolutely precious life is.

I feel very sad for what happened in Japan. The images are so scary, the magnitude of the disaster so big, so many lives lost. People who laughed, who dream, who loved.

I guess that, if something good can be pulled out from tragedy, is the realization of how wonderful life is and how important is to live and enjoy the simplest of things. To enjoy every minute, every day and be thankful to be so fortunate for just being here, today.

I decided to put in good use my Refuge/Home necklace. From now on, every time I sell one of this necklaces, all the proceeds are going to be donated to help others in need. For the moment, I'll donate the money to the Red Cross on its efforts to help the people in Japan.

I'm glad to announce that as I sold one yesterday, our first donation -your first donation- is going to be soon on its way.

Thank you!
