Show Cleveland Some Love
Cleveland Handmade is a collective of local artists and craftspeople who sell their handmade wares on Etsy. Cleveland Handmade is committed to promoting, teaching, and helping its members and the Cleveland area. Cleveland Handmade members' shops specialize in a wide range of fine and funky craft, including jewelry, clothing, handbags and other accessories, fiber arts, handmade glass, ceramics, paintings and prints, photography, home decor, and repurposed vintage pieces. The members of Cleveland Handmade want to show you — and the world — their favorite places in Cleveland. They would also like to show you that buying locally made goods online is an easy and fun way to start your holiday shopping. Cleveland Handmade is sponsoring a Show Cleveland Some Love Contest. The prize is a $65 gift certificate good at any of the thirteen participating shops. You can use the certificate all in one shop or break it up and spend it in as many shops as you like. How does the contest work? Easy. Visit at least seven of the participating shops and "collect" the answer to this question from each one: "One of my favorite places in the Cleveland area is _________." (Hint: you'll find it on each shop's profile page). Enter the answers in the form HERE, add your contact information, and click the button to submit your entry. The contest ends on October 26, 2007, so enter NOW.

Grace Yourself
The Grace necklace, created by designer Laura Wells, and sold exclusively at Archestra, displays a simple pink wrapped spiral with a single sterling silver bead nested in the middle. Available on either a creme colored leather cord, or a delicate sterling silver chain, 50% of the purchase price is being donated to the Gal to Gal foundation which supports women with State IV breast cancer. Archestra, one of my favorite on-line shopping boutiques (fabulous one-stop shopping for any person you need to buy a gift for, including yourself!) is a proud sponsor of the virtual "Walk across America" fundraising event that Gal to Gal has organized. Click HERE to get more information on how you can participate in this event and click HERE to buy the Grace necklace or any other piece from the Grace collection. A fabulous way to mix art, shopping and generosity in one online step.

Sweet as Nectar
The handcrafted jewelry designs of silversmith Sharon Fiorini of Nectar jewelry have a clean and contemporary style to them that make them the perfect accessories to add a bit of edge to the ladylike fashions that are out for the Fall. The simple shapes and clean lines make each piece in her collection infinitely wearable...from the dressiest of suits to casual jeans and a cashmere sweater. Plus, bonus, prices start at only $22 for a pair of earrings and top off at $45 for a necklace. Affordable, and beautiful? What a perfect combination!
