Norah's Jewells

This summer I have made a commitment to be at the Carroll Farmer's Market on Wednesday evenings selling bracelets for my grand daughter Norah Jewell. Norah has Type 1 diabetes- she was diagnosed in October. She is only 3 years old. So far it has been a roller coaster of events for Norah, her parents and her little sister. Hospital visits, doctor's appointments and getting her finger poked several times in a 24 hour time period. So far I have made 150 bracelets. I am selling them for $6 each or 2 for $10.

My goal is to raise at least $1000. I better get back to making more bracelets! Stop by and say hello if you happen to be at the Farmer's market!



A Contest! Spread the word......

This summer I am going to have a booth at my local Farmer's Market.

My 3 year old granddaughter was recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and her parents are participating in a bike ride to raise money for research. They have been on quite a roller coaster ride since October 2010 when Norah was diagnosed. Sleepless nights, hospital stays, doctor appointments and finger pokes have become the norm for them.

So what does this have to do with Type 1 Diabetes?

Norah loves jewelry. Nana (me) makes jewelry. I am going to do my part to help Team Norah raise the money they need to participate in the 100 mile bike ride WITHOUT getting on a bicycle.

I have not been on a bike in years and I plan on keeping it that way. 

So I am making bracelets. Bright colorful glass bead and crystal bracelets. $6 each or 2 for $10. I will be selling ONLY bracelets at farmer's market.

Here's the contest: I need a name for my booth- besides just Artworks Studio- something catchy and memorable and fun and just makes you WANT to buy a bracelet.  Post your ideas in the comments. I will have Norah's parents choose the one they like best and the winner will get a $25 gift certificate from Artworks Studio to spend either here in the studio or in my Etsy store. Enter as often as you like. I need a name by May 1st.

Thanks for helping!
