I’m sure if you’ve been out of your house in the past week you’ve noticed they are painting the town pink. October is breast cancer awareness month, and, as such, many of our handmade crafters are offering special promotions and giveaways to support raising money for the cure.

Today’s spotlight is on Sandra of Lexington Studios in Massachusetts. As a way to help raise awareness and raise funds she will be donating 10% of EVERY purchase from her store to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Plus, for every purchase over $99, the buyer will receive a free “Hope” pink ribbon pocket mirror that sells for $15, for free.

Inspired by plants, lichens and crystals, Jennifer Morris got started crafting as a result of a teenage addiction to W magazine (because, as she puts it, “No normal teenager can afford anything in that mag“).

She’s totally revamped her indie inspired jewelry line, and I’m happy to show it off to you all! The raddest part? Not only can you admire these eclectic vial necklaces like the moustache necklace and vampire fangs, you can also win one to adorn your swan-like neck.

How can you win a handmade glass vial necklace for yourself?

Simple. All you need to do is visit bumblesea – link is below – and follow the easy peasy instructions on entering the contest. (more…)
