They have finally arrived!!!

When I say "They" I mean my precious new business cards!!!

I thought I had to wait 21 days to have them in my two hands, but nope... it didn't take so long!!
GO Vistaprint!!!

I desperately needed the cards when I went to Philly-NYC last weekend, so I had to resort to making makeshift bzns cards at home with my little HP printer....
That was interesting...
It was indeed a pain to have them aligned right on the Adobe Illustrator (of which I've never used before), print them on card stock, and then CUT them..... I mean, it's simple manual labor (+some computer work) but it took way too long, and the outcome wasn't.... let's just say I wasn't 100% satisfied...

So now, I'm super PSYCHED!!

I also got a shiny card case to go with my minty fresh business cards!!

Wanna see? Sure you do.....



Aren't they beautiful!!????


YAY!!

display @ Use Your Head...Shop for a cause in fashionable NoLita, NYC


as of today, six pairs of earrings from LBEW jewelry are being displayed at the wonderful store in NoLita, NYC.
The store is called Use Your Head...Shop for a cause, which is located on 262 Mott St, between Prince and Houston street.

The mission of the store is as follows:
All of the profits of our store go back to ACE (Association of Community Employment). ACE is a not-for-profit organization, and its aim is to help homeless people find jobs. We've served more than 1300 recovering homeless men and women. In the past 5 years, we've helped more than 270 homeless people transition into full-time employment
.

I am so happy to be working with UYH shop and Carlos on this project.

So looking forward to what is to come in the future!!!

LBEW might be branching beyond the border of Boston

So I am currently typing @ a beautiful, quirky youth hostel in Philadelhpia.
I am here for business as an event photographer for massmouth, which is my other passion in my day-to-day life these days.
I'll be documenting a smack-down between Boston vs Philly storytellers. So exciting!!!

Tomorrow I am heading to NYC to discuss the possibility of displaying my jewelry at a store in SoHo. I am very very excited!!
It's even cooler than it sounds because this store donates 100% of it's proceeds to rehabilitating homeless people in the city. Http://www.acenewyork.org
I first stumbled upon this store a couple weekends ago by chance. And when I heard about their cause, I instantly knew we had a connection....
So when I told Carlos my story with buttons and Rosie's Place he asked if I'd be interested in consigning my jewelry there. My response?
Hell-to-the-yes!!!!
So tomorrow is the day!

Wish us luck??
