Creative juices trickle more than flow...

Ideally, I would love to have my hands do the creative good and make use of all of the materials I have amassed (nearly hoarded).  I don't know if you can relate to that feeling when you walk over to an area that needs your attention, whether it be creative activity or the simple act of tidying up, and you stop...stare...walk away.  This time I had direction.  I made a bracelet for my mother and here's what it looks like.

Shell/Amethyst/Carved brass bead

Do I have more going on?  I wish...I hope to keep creating until there is nothing left.  The general idea is to donate portions of the proceeds to those in need and save the rest to move abroad and teach.  This motivation will hopefully supercede my consistent procrastination.  I have a few ideas, and I shall share them (as well, as the cool things I find along the way.  I'm excited to see what cool things I find abroad.  Motivated!!).

Until next time...(www.facebook.com/euralee)

Eura Cool (to me) #3

It's been a while since I've documented my cool finds.  If you find yourself impatient with my lack of blogging discipline you can see my choices before they hit the blog (not everything will be blogged about...I'm only one procrastinator).  Please feel free to click on: MY FAVORITES (aka: stuff I think is cool).
No need for that at the moment because have I got some coolness for you (in my humble opinion...like calling it humble actually makes it so)!!  I've been on a fashion-y kick so my choices will reveal such a mood (Yes, fashion-y is a real mood...in my world.  So HA!)

Let the coolness proceed...

...Light Switch Cover / Switch Plate (Funky Chicken Design) - I have a little bit of electrical skill so a boring switch plate is nothing if unappealing (possibly a word?).  Cream? White?...Wait, what about cream?  Say, "Buh-bye" to boring lifeless plates.  Say, "Hello" to fun lively printed decor improvers.  These are actually STYLISH and well...cool.

...Ombre Maxi Skirt (Archella) - I like the word ombre (n. A French term meaning "shaded." Usually a multicolored stripe, with colors graduating from light to dark. The color effect is woven into the fabric. Generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp. ).  I think it's well...cool.  I also like maxi skirts (even when they were just called LONG skirts).  Because they are...well, you know.  The color makes me happy, and there is no shaving of the legs required.  Win-WIN!!  And so very...cool.

...MUSE Ballet Flats (BaliElf) - Heels are lovely, but not a BFF of the grace-challenged.  I'm not going to say that I've fallen off a step stool that was only a foot off the ground (I guess I just did...Oh, and I slammed into a wall seconds after), but let's just say I'm gravity aware.  Occasionally, I wear heels.  BUT flats are where it's at for me.  Safety first.  Ankle straps are lovely seatbelts to keep my narrow heels from escaping my shoes.  My specific shoe needs have been met with STYLE, and that is so...cool.

...Statement Necklace (Luli Grun) - I'm a t-shirt and anything type of girl (jeans, skirts, etc).  Statement necklaces can give a simple t-shirt LIFE.  Eco-conscious statement necklaces from Argentina will change YOUR life (too much??  Yeah, probably so.).  You support an artist in another land, and are considerate to our lovely planet.  Both your t-shirt and EARTH will thank you for your STYLE, and that's...cool.

If you're ever wondering what I think is cool BEFORE I post it then come visit me on MY FAVORITES (aka: stuff I think is cool) or just visit (and LIKE) my FACEBOOK Page: EURALEE or come back to this blog: EURAHEARTS.  Until next time my friends.  Until next time...

Eura Cool (to me) #3 is coming...

Indeed it is coming....BUT there is so much Cool-ness, that it's hard to focus (in addition to being a procrastinator)...I'm going to choose three..or four..or three.  I'm very certain.  I think?

Eco-fabulous...the Cliff Notes version

Tagua (aka: vegetable ivory...Google it) bracelets are IN again!  These are the BEST Tagua Bracelets EVER (handmade in Ecuador).  They sell out quickly and 100% of proceeds benefit those in need in Ecuador.  Here's what you can do if you want one...two...five. (Come'on push the envelope a bit.)

All BUTTONED Up With SO Many Places To Go...

The temperature is dropping.  Leaves are falling.  Time to BUTTON Up!  Maybe not the way you think.  Buttons have to be far more than just useful for holding in the warmth or keeping the unmentionables...unmentioned.  They can be fun earring!  We totally wear them all the time, and we are so not a tween. :)

The Stylish Giver...A Fashionable Hero

A new coat would be great, but maybe it's not in the budget.  The best way to make it FEEL new is to dress it up with a SCARF!

Modern prints...Fun colors...Easy to wear.  Who could ask for anything more? 

Did we mention all the proceeds are donated??  Yeah, so you are giving AND getting (It sounds so wrong, but it's not.).  Fashionistas can be charitable too!

Check out the selections online for purchase: www.euralee.storeenvy.com
Peek at the Photo Album to see all the fabulous ways to STYLE scarves.

Candy Jewelry...Zero Calories

Eura Lee (Eura Hearts)

Sometimes candy is good for you.  Zero calories.  No artificial flavoring.  No actual...candy.  More like tagua (a nut, but you don't eat it...you wear it.)  Handmade in Ecuador and what you spend goes straight back to those hands.  Amazing, how great you feel after a sugar rush!

Want to see everything in normal size pictures?  Here's the ALBUM to see everything.

Want to buy?  Here's the Eura Hearts ETSY Store to purchase what you see in the album.  They will be listed three at a time so email us at euraleemail@gmail.com if you have your favorite isn't listed yet. 

SCARF this down

Being stylish is actually important...like Global Warming (Gore is all about it). Meanwhile you can buy a scarf AND simultaneously save the world (or a bit less dramatic). You GIVE, you GET. Seems selfish. It's not. I have a thesaurus. ESPECIALLY not in a combo where someone else benefits BEFORE you benefit (Paypal clears before shipment). Crazy? Who says fashion was normal?

100% of proceeds go to families in need of medical treatment in Ecuador. Want one? Two? Well, go check out http://www.eurahearts.bigcartel.com/. Five were listed, but if you see one you want in the slideshow that is not listed please email euraleemail@gmail.com and a Paypal invoice can be emailed to you. Easy peasy.

Give...then GET. Charity couldn't be simpler.

BUTTONED Up on Etsy!

Sometimes, you need a little something to brighten up your look. A little color. A little cowlick control. Maybe you don't have that problem (I do.). For those who have this issue or know someone who does this would be the perfect treat! An extra treat is the extra 10% off (code: EURA10), and FREE SHIPPING!

Hope you find something you like...or MANY things!

Take care,
Eura Lee

Get STONED...Legally.

Got fly-aways that just won't cooperate with gel or prayer? STONE 'em. Well, STONED Hair pins. Semi-precious STONED hair pins that say you CARE about your look. The whole messy on purpose works if you did it on purpose. I've got fly-aways and started stoning my hair pins to give my hair issues some flare. Now I'm sharing with you.
Check out my store on ETSY and for more pictures of other pins check out our fan page on FACEBOOK. Search EURA LEE.

LIKE us! Everyone wants to be LIKED right? :)

What we do...caught!

I have to admit that capturing my work in photo form is a lacking...so now I'm going to cheat and use previous works. THEN I will follow with present work. I think that's fair (to me). Next on my agenda is take current pictures. Headbands with beads. So much easier to talk about than edit a photo. Gone are the days of chatter. Siiighhh.

We're on ETSY, but that's another photo issue. It's-a-comin! We also have a page on FACEBOOK.

Charmed I'm sure (30% OFF*)...

Also 30% OFF or buy Charlie then get something else for 50% off*.

*The offer expires at midnight 12/3/08.

the WAR against cowlicks and fly-aways...

Sure, we're all about jewelry. Just not ALL about it ALL the time. The fingers they get curious. Ready to explore other important topics. HAIR being quite important (world peace somewhere near that.

Our NEW macrame headbands bring the chic (elastic keeps the fit without squeezing your brains). Colors are big right now, so just know that reds, golds, blues, pinks will be up for grabs (colors can be mixed). At $15/ea it's a must buy for you (or a friend). The headbands are made to order and will be listed on our ETSY page, along with other new items soon to be blogged.

gnite...sleep tight...fight the fly-aways!!!

Blue DOES make GREEN...

IT'S A BOY! (or...OR a girl with issues about pink). The toy Under the Nile (organic Egyptian cotton) with a few 7th Generation chlorine free diapers (No dear, diapers aren't naturally white...that's chemicals). A pair of my handmade earrings (quartz, Swarovski, gold/sterling) because Mommy love is the GREATEST love of all. (I feel a Whitney moment bursting...nope, that was something else).

Other options are veggies (eggplant, broccoli, etc), fruit (bananas,grapes...) minimo dolls (different ethnicities), and baby buddies (great prints). Safe toys for the baby. A conscious gift. Wow, you are so 21st century. Maybe even 22nd.

Next word: FAIR TRADE
Know the meaning? Look into it. and Forward.

Lara is a necklace that sat in my brain for ages. Then I sketched it. I didn't want any chain, but knots. So now it worked.

Copper is just a cool metal. I am not sure about the medical benefits. Just the style benefits.
