FeltAid - back in action

As blogged here, Silverlight Jewellery created three special, Irish-themed pieces to be auctioned on Trade Me at $1 reserves, with 50% of the proceeds from the auctions going to The Salvation Army's Canterbury Earthquake Appeal.
I'm pleased to be able to announce that $62.92 was donated to The Salvation Army as a result of those auctions. Slainte!

As discussed in the same blog post, after the first earthquake (on 4 September, 2010), a number of my fellow Felt sellers created the FeltAid shop and accompanying blog. Whiteleaf Jewellery donated three pairs of earrings (I blogged about this here), all of which sold.
After Canterbury's lethal second earthquake on the 22nd of February, 2011, FeltAid has reopened. This blog post on the Felt blog explains further.
(And this post, by Lucy, the owner and creator of Felt.co.nz, gives a first-hand account of what the earthquake felt like.)

Whiteleaf Jewellery has again donated three pieces to FeltAid:

 Copper Hearts earrings: green firepolished glass and vintage copper heart charms

– still available from Whiteleaf Jewellery on Felt 

 Rough Amethyst With Silver: wire-wrapped stone pendant on chain 

– sold

 Lapis And Leaves earrings: bronze leaves on chain with blue lapis lazuli pebbles

– still available from FeltAid

'Rough Amethyst With Silver' and 'Lapis And Leaves' are one-off designs. 'Lapis And Leaves' is still available from FeltAid, and, while the pair of 'Copper Hearts' earrings that I donated has now sold, the design is still available from my Whiteleaf shop on Felt. 

Below is a sample of some of the handmade goodness that is still available from the FeltAid shop.

Five quotes: Action

A nod,
a bow,
and a tip of the lid
to the person
who coulda
and shoulda
and did.

Men expect too much, do too little.

I believe half the unhappiness in life comes from people being afraid to go straight at things.

Action will remove the doubts that theory cannot solve.

Before long, this year will have become last year. If you have plans, enact them now.
Happy new year, everyone.
