Lady in Red Ring

Lady in Red Ring

Notes from the Artist:

A cherry red Swarovski colored crystal looks absolutely stunning on this adjustable silver toned band. The crystal measures 3/8 of an inch – perfect for every day wear, but so sparkly, it calls attention to itself all the time. The band adjusts on top of the finger for a comfortable fit – no pinching! Nice and sturdy, these stack well. See the last photo for other color choices.

This listing is for 1 red ring. Convo me if you’d like your own custom listing.

Please shop generously – for you and for them! With this purchase you could help provide provide foster care for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Cape Town, South Africa.

People of the Book

http://tinyurl.com/yln7sue

Temple Sinai’s People of the Book Literacy Project was founded in the Spring of 1998 with the mission of helping Oakland’s school children learn to love reading and books.

We partner with five elementary schools in the Oakland Unified School District: Santa Fe School, Lazear School, Think College Now, International Community School, and Greenleaf School.We work toward our mission in many ways:

  • More than 30 tutors meet with over 70 students each week throughout the school year.
  • We give 3000 books directly to students each year, and also donate many books to classrooms and school libraries.  We provide weekly magazine subscriptions to every student at two schools, and donate magazines to a third school’s library.
  • Library volunteers help by processing and shelving donated books. (We have stocked four school libraries with attractive, quality books.)
  • Teen volunteers provide academic help and companionship at an after-school homework center at Lazear School.
  • Over the years, our volunteers have visited classes to read stories as well as to provide art and music enrichment. We have donated supplies for schoolwork, sports, and art projects.
  • With our congregation’s generous cash donations we have bought microscopes for a science class; arranged author assemblies and school-wide magazine subscriptions; purchased books, reading incentives like bookmarks and classroom materials; and have donated carpeting, posters, and beanbag chairs for libraries.
  • In cooperation with other groups, we also have provided much needed social services: arranging delivery of 150 bags of food a week to one school, conducting a holiday Adopt-a-Family project as well as a food drive for the winter break, and making school-site improvements as part of the Temple’s annual Mitzvah Day project.

EFC Team donated $33.00 to People of the Book in December.

 Mini Heidi Klummies

Mini Heidi Klummies

Notes from the Artist:

Cute mother of pearl earrings with sterling silver components. Can also be made with gold filled components. Most of my profits (about 50% of what you pay) are donated to Compassion International, a non profit that gives hope to children living in poverty through one-on-one sponsorship. One of my most popular earrings, I promise they’ll be one of your go-to earrings… and you can’t beat the price at $9.

Vintage Childs Wool Cut Work Vest

Vintage Childs Wool Cut Work Vest

Notes from the Artist:

Incredible cut cut work and detail on this little vintage vest.
All wool so it’s going to keep the young one really warm.

this is absolutely beautiful.

The story I got was this was made or bought by a grandmother waiting for the first grandchild to grow into it so she put it away. This was during the late eighties. But she passed away without it ever going to the child.

It was in a truck I purchased.

This is pure wool in a warm beige colour. It does have nicely sewn darts in the front. It’s been bound by deep red binding with zigzag stitching.

The incredible detail in the trim is amazing.
The cut work has been cut with pinking sheers and carefully stitched onto the front of the vest. In the back there is one great section at the bottom of the back.

It really is beautiful work and I’m sure my pictures will not do it justice.

I have no idea what the size is but from the back of the neck to the bottom of the binding is 18 inches.
Underarm to underarm across the front is sixteen inches.

Armhole binding is sixteen inches.

I have only listed a couple of destinations but if you are interested please contact me for a shipping price.

You choose if you want mostly dog items, or cat items or a combination (specify in “message from buyer”). Some boxes may have a few items unrelated to dog or cat, such as a card with a horse on it, or a switchplate with a piggie painted on it, or even guinea pig or rabbit treats. Each box is unique and may contain an assortment of treats, accessories (ribbons, bandanas, collars, charms), toys, cards, pins, magnets, stickers, keychains, bookmarks, blankets, scarves, tags, photos, coupons, and gift certificates all for an amazingly low price. Quantities are limited.
