Etsy Key Necklaces

This week’s feature of the Etsy shop are the Key of Hope necklaces. These $10 necklaces are made with unique, vintage keys strung on gunmetal chains. They are long enough to hang mid-torso, and the vintage feel is great for layering with other eclectic pieces.

As always, all proceeds benefit Little Known Help Zone’s monthly classroom project.

Bryn Mawr Staff Association Holiday Craft Fair

Finishing off the year strong, this was the second time we had a stand at the Bryn Mawr Staff Association craft fair. This is a wonderful event that really brings the community together. We sold items that are on the Etsy shop (that will be up and running again soon) and had a really successful time getting the word out. Here is a picture of our set up, and stay tuned for an end of the semester update, as well as what is to come next semester!
