Susan Says: Accessorizing for Charity

While I was at work the other day, I had the good fortune of stopping to admire a necklace and earrings worn by one of my customers.  I thought she probably bought it at a wonderful boutique because of its beauty and complexity of design.
I was overjoyed to learn that the artist who created the necklace, Michelle Levine-Troupp, creates the jewelry for charity, with all proceeds going to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  

A cancer survivor for over 16 years, Michelle learned first hand what it is to receive a deadly diagnosis.  She vowed to do something to make a difference for children battling cancer and she was strongly moved by the fact that St. Jude's never turns a patient away, even when the patient does not have the financial resources to pay for medical costs.

Made of real gemstones, each of Michelle's pieces is unique, one of a kind, handmade, and not available in any store. All of Michelle's pieces are very reasonably priced, because she only charges enough to cover the costs of the gemstones plus the donation. Michelle's creations won top prize at a recent juried art event in Bonita Springs, Florida and Michelle was profiled in today's Naples Daily News.
We hope that everyone will take a moment to browse her website and make a purchase. Your purchase will directly support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and you'll love wearing Michelle's amazing designs. Visit her web site, uniquedesignsbymichelle.com, to buy now.
