Send Me Your Pictures



I love knowing that someone who purchased a Curly Red item loves it. If you have an item you love. Send me a picture of yourself (or the person you purchased it for). Your picture could end up on my blog, Etsy store, or Facebook fan page:)

The picture that is posted with this post is one of my fellow artist, customer, and friend's sister. She makes a really good model. Thanks Ashley:)

Join My Team To Raise Money For Breast Cancer

Yesterday, I started a team with Lee Denim Day to raise money for Breast Cancer. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. I personally know three. Three years ago my friend Andrea was diagnosed while in her early thirties. My Aunt Cindy was also diagnosed. They are both doing well now. Many years ago, my Aunt Jo lost her battle.
The original concept is that if you paid $5 you can wear jeans to work on October 2nd. All proceeds go to benefit Women's Cancer Programs. You can choose to join our team, make a donation, or both. If you are interested, our team is Andie's Friends. Our team website is http://www.denimday.com/team_page.aspx?tid=236829.

Getting Ready For Fall


I am so excited! Fall is almost here. The weather is getting cooler, ball games are starting, the leaves are about to start changing. Fall has always been my favorite season of the year.
I have been making some new designs in jewelry, including wire wrapped earrings. They earrings are very pretty, but hard to photograph. That's always the hard part for me. If you get the chance check out the new items in my etsy store.
I am not going to do many shows this year. One I will be doing is the Artist Boutique in Lamar, MO. My sister is organizing the event. If you are interested check out this website. http://www.wix.com/ackentner/handmade
