I just posted a new listing on Etsy!

100% of the proceeds from this sale will go to support one of my best friends, Andrea Dodds, as she participates in the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Go check it out!! www.etsy.com/view_listing.php />
I'll be posting more of this kind of listing once we're settled in Texas in July.

I have an extraordinary friend….her name is eve (yes, that’s a lower case “e”)….but there are those of us who know her by another name:  Fairy Nana.  This beautiful lady makes some of the most exquisite fairy costumes I have ever had the pleasure to see which should be enough to set her apart from other designers, but there’s something else:  she’s nearly blind.  My loving friend suffers from both lupus and MS, and even though she is in pain most of the time, she pours so much of herself into each of her costumes. 

As if all that weren’t enough, she also has the biggest heart of any person I know.  This year, she set a goal for herself to make 50 fairy costumes to donate to the children’s hospital near Lacey, WA….and she did it.  She is such an inspiration to me, and obviously to the good people at the KING5 television station.  eve’s story ran last night on their Evening Magazine.  You can see her touching story (and that of the children whose lives she brightens), in her own words, here:

Now, what can you do to help?  It is eve’s goal to bring her message of helping children in need to a larger stage.  If you would, please, take a moment to drop a line to the Oprah show (www.oprah.com/ord/plugfor...) as this is one of eve’s ultimate goals.  The more voices we have singing the same chorus, the more loudly eve will be heard!

Due to her health issues, eve’s time is running out, and I want to do everything I can to help her reach for the stars!  Please help me to spread her story and inspiration!

Finally, after waiting for two whole weeks and after stalking various Barnes and Noble and Borders book stores (they must think I'm some sort of weird magazine lunatic), my Faerie Magazine has arrived!!

I'm so excited to see the photo spread, and I'm so honored and privileged to be counted amongst artists such as Renae Taylor and Angela Jarman. These ladies have been an inspiration to me for quite some time now.

I was also excited to see that the ad I placed looked far better in print than it did on screen. Now, it will be interesting to see if it generates any traffic to my website.

Oh, by the way, I'll still be stalking the magazine aisles of Barnes and Noble and Borders....after all, I need to keep up appearances....oh, and ummm, get some more copies of the magazine, too.

...has gone live!

There are supposed to be photos of my work posted with the interview, but they aren't showing for me and a few others who have taken a peek. I've contacted the editors, and they are working on the problem.

Fingers crossed that they work for you!!

Hi All!  

Just wanted to let you know that I have a new pair of fairy wings for sale on Etsy!  I've posted a full-sized picture in my gallery! 

You can find the listing at:   http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10850438  

Do please hurry along to see them (skipping and singing we feel would be appropriate - or at least squirming with joy in your seat a little...) before it sells out!  

Fairy light and blessings to you all!  

Angelia
