Highlight from SNS #15
To revv this party up, I'm going to show you one highlight from SNS #15 that really caught my eye. (please check the sidebar during an SNS event for many other highlights that will pop up!)
About the giveaway
We have a really awesome giveaway this weekend. I can barely stand it. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning here because I know you'll love this too. :)
"$10 from every "Blessed Necklace" sold will be donated to Compassion, to help with disaster relief in Haiti."
OK, this is a huge reason to purchase one of her pieces regardless of a win or not. Have you supported Haiti yet? If not, here's the perfect way, along with a little gift of thanks. Amazing concept.
And the order processing department.
What an amazing journey this has been so far.
Keep up the support! It means so much."
So far, Beki's company has been able to donate $2740!!! Bravo, Beki!
Each of Beki's creations are indeed one of a kind. No two are quite alike, as they are all hand stamped onto sterling silver, with some pieces adorned with perfectly imperfect freshwater pearls, hung on a steel ball chain. When visiting the selections, Beki has also written about where her inspiration comes from with each piece. Don't you love a story attached? Precious.
"There is so much meaning in this piece. Love is the name of a friend who just adopted a child from Uganda. (could there be a more perfect name?!) You can read her story here."

Highlight from SNS #15
To revv this party up, I'm going to show you one highlight from SNS #15 that really caught my eye. (please check the sidebar during an SNS event for many other highlights that will pop up!)
This is an old dresser that A little bit of Sanity revamped into a kitchen island. Look at the lines on this piece! The top is a ready made butcher block piece from Ikea, costing only $39! The entire island cost under $60 to make. I think the idea and end result is absolutely stunning.
If I ever redo a kitchen again, I'll do something along the lines of using a real furniture piece as opposed to stock cabinets for the island. Why try to simulate a piece of furniture when you can have the real thing?!? Well done, Kirsty!
