Parrot Toy Angels' 2010 Spring Auction

From time to time, AMJ donates a piece of jewelry for good cause. Recently, we made a custom pair of Adorable Little Birdie Earrings in Silver for Parrot Toy Angels' 2010 Spring Auction. Parrot Toy Angels is an all volunteer, 501c3 non-profit organization that is committed to providing toys, food and other avian supplies to companion birds in need. More information about Parrot Toy Angels can be found here. If you would like to donate funds you can click here. If you would like to donate a item for their upcoming auction, please contact them at: donations (at) parrottoyangels (dot) org . All donations are tax-deductible.

AMJ also carries the Adorable Little Birdie Earrings in a black matte finish and with different kinds of beads. Because at Adorn Me we love birdies, we have a number of bird-based items. To see them click here.

Adorn Me will be selling a pair of these earrings from our shop as well, and 20% of the total sale price will be donated to Parrot Toy Angels. Happy shopping!

Meet Adorn Me jewelry's Mascot, Buddy!

Introducing our little toddler Shih Tzu puppy, Buddy. He's been making life even more fun and interesting around here with his sweet cuddles, playful nature, googly eyes, sweet smile and adorable face. Ha! No bias here!

Buddy is just over 3 months old and as sweet as could be. Aside from his adorableness, Shih Tzus are known for their almost non-shedding, low-allergenic coat -- which is important to me, since I have had animal allergies since childhood. No problems with Buddy, thankfully. But for those of you who do have allergies and are concerned, first, he doesn't seem to shed, but also, I use a very good foaming hand sanitizer before making and packing each piece of jewelry we sell.

Now, onto the earrings! We have a cute new design in the store: Birdie in a Basket - Whimsical Birds in Nest Baskets Earrings.

I'm a total bird person when it comes to art and design, and these little simply-designed birdies in nest baskets caught my eye immediately. The findings are a very nice quality tarnish resistant silver plate over brass. Above them, on silver plated jump rings, are little green and red glass beads that kind of look like berries. They hang from silver plated ear wires, and an extra pair of wires comes with them, since plating can wear off over time. You can wear them with the birdies facing you, or away from you, as they do not face the same direction, which is how I prefer it, myself. You can find them here.

You may find other new designs, not shown here, at our Adorn Me Jewelry at Etsy store. Come see. :)
