Breast Cancer Awareness Month - Please Support




October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. To show support, many Etsy sellers are donating some (or all) of their proceeds from sales to supporting the fight against breast cancer. Please check out shops that are supporting the cause. Pictured above: HowardAvenue (Custom Breast Cancer Awareness Camera Strap - Free Shippng! 100% of profits donated to S.G. Komen) and HeadFullofFeathers ($10 donation from the sale of this fascinator goes to Breakthrough - breast cancer charity - www.breakthrough.org.uk ).
My shop is supporting a cause near and dear to our heart. My husband's college friend Kristi lost her life to breast cancer this summer mere months after being diagnosed. She leaves behind three very young little girls (6, 3, and 11 months). Nothing will replace the loss of their mother, but we hope to help them carry on with positive memories and a successful future. ALL proceeds for earring sales go to college funds for Kristi's three young daughters. Julie Ellyn Designs and family will cover all costs of materials and shipping.
Please show your support.
Love,
Julie

Pink, pink, pink!

My world now revolves around the color pink! I guess that was bound to happen with two little girls, but I still feel sorry for my poor husband. Not really a fan of bright colors (my favorite color is white…odd I know), I catch myself drawn to all objects that are pink now. Maybe it is out of love for my sweet little girls, or maybe I am expanding my color palette, I wanted to share a few gorgeous items that have caught my eye lately.

Felted Flower with Long Crocheted Lariat/Scarf/Necklace/Bracelet by
BigFrozenMelon. What an amazing piece of wearable art!

To celebrate my little Baby Bird’s (as she likes to be called) third birthday, we are creating a beautiful room of pink and white. This photograph from AmeliaKayPhotography would look lovely on her wall.

Picking flowers is one of our favorite past times and it would be great to use this adorable bud vase by Clay Haven to keep pink roses and other blooms from our garden.

And then a little pink for me…WOW would I love to make something with these beauties from OMGTourmaline! I can just hear my daughter begging me to make a necklace for her out of these stones.
