A couple of weeks ago I was browsing through the forums at Etsy, and I came across a request by Etsy seller HopeSparkles, who was asking other Etsy sellers for any extra beading and jewelry supplies they might have, because she plans to volunteer her time to teach jewelry classes at The Shade Tree, a homeless women’s shelter near her home. For every $20.00 sold, $5.00 will go towards her “Shade Tree” fund to buy beading supplies for her classes. I sent HopeSparkles some beads I wasn’t using, and in return she created a wonderful treasury featuring items from the many Etsy sellers who had donated to her commendable cause. Here’s the treasury link: http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=50016&show_panel=true  And here is a picture of the items in the treasury. My item is “Romance in Red,” a wire-wrapped lampwork glass heart pendant. Take a look! The treasury expires April 6.
