Description: Though hope exists for all of us, sometimes it must be found through others. The mission of Maureen's Hope is to offer support and assistance to people facing the challenges of cancer and other life threatening illness. There are many needs that patients have when faced with a life altering disease that can not be met by the medical community and we hope to fulfill some of those needs. Maureen's Hope caters to the personal needs of individuals facing these challenges by providing gift baskets and services that offer comfort and strength as well as helping to improve their quality of life. Maureen's Hope Foundation has been able to provide over 400 baskets to cancer patients over the past five years. We have also provided patients with a cleaning service for their home; meals for the family; a wig and/or hats; complementary therapy such as reiki or massage; and assistance with fundraising events to help families with medical expenses.
Maureen's Hope also helps to empower and encourage people facing an illness by offering a variety of programs that offer hope, inspiration and education to patients. Guest speakers for these programs include motivational speakers, health care providers and community representatives. Maureen's Hope is funded through grants, corporate donations and fundraising events.

Featured Products or Services: Visit our brand new Inspirational Jewlery Store to help support the Maureen's Hope Foundation
Secure Inspirational Jewelry Store. The story behind our bracelets have made them a meaningful gift to share with someone special and all proceeds benefit Maureen's Hope Foundation. While my sister Maureen was battling cancer she wore a fun and inspirational bracelet from Chicos throughout her journey. While she was wearing a less than flattering hospital gown her bracelet became a symbol of normalcy and represented the fun spirited person she was. May you get the same joy from your bracelet and let it bring out your Live, Love, Laugh attitude! Enjoy!

Profile: I am an independent fashion designer, lover of textiles, a weaver, spinner and dyer (natural dyes). I love to create unique accessories with unusual fabrics. I am of Armenian heritage and often incorporate vintage textiles from my grandmothers in my work. I also love collage and working with dry mineral pigments, which allows me to experiment with many different mediums.
The Pre-Raphaelites played a large part in shaping my outlook, as I was an English major in college. I also love cats, big and small, especially Siamese.
Many things inspire me--people who do their best at whatever they do; the art, music and crafts of different cultures; beautiful plants, trees flowers and shells. I enjoy collaborating with other artists and like the energy that is exchanged.
What is so great about etsy is that I am meeting people who love to make things and there is a great sense of sharing in the community. I think we are onto something! I believe we are improving the quality of life by creating unique items for the public. We are returning to William Morris' idea that the value is in the individual's pride in his/her craftsmanship.

Description: Never mind if its a shiny or gloomy day, every woman knows that a jewel can raise and lift up her mood.
My jewels will definitely draw a lot of attention and compliments, its one of a kind and not mass! |
| |
Profile: My name is Chen and I live in Israel. After several years of creating jewelry with beads, I have to admit that I am a "beadaholic" but I have no intention of rehabilitating.
I think that the jewelry creation is like magic - you create something new from the unknown, from your imagination and it becomes something people like to wear. Each finished piece of jewelry acquires its unique presence, which can be totally different on each person who wears it. |
