From the Desk of A.J. - Spring Unique L.A.!!


“In Spring time the only pretty ring time, birds sing, a ding a ding a ding time, sweet lovers love the spring.”

Whenever I think of spring or even the word spring I have to sing this song sung by one of my many old man crushes Gene Wilder in the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. BTW…this all has nothing to do with what I’m going to write about.

Well…not entirely true. I am in the “Spring is HERE!” mode. A. for the weather (looove the long sunny breezy blooming jasmine days) B. for the clothes (of course), and C. UNIQUE LA SPRING SHOW!!!!!

Yep…we jewelry makin’ mamas have done it again:) We’ve been accepted into the Spring show (uh…Sonja Rasula, the founder and master mind of UNIQUE LA makes you apply every show…that way she is sure to have the best of the best…which is awesome and yet nerve raking at the same time.).

Saturday and Sunday April 24th-25th. Every event she does she teams up with a non-prof. organization that she will, at the end of the day, donate a portion of the proceeds…which ends up being thousands and thousands of dollars-literally. We love her at Pinky Swear Designs…she’s our current girl crush;) This event she is teaming with Ed Begley’s Jr’s GREENWISH organization. A great grassroots non prof. that is focused on helping organizations fund their projects for their communities through “pay what you can” kind of donations at local retailers and online. For every paying Unique LA attendee…$1 will go towards Greenwish…since there are thousand upon thousands who attend these events…that’s a lot of green for such a great organization ;)

So…along with all of the fabulous shopping and cruising around you can do…there will also be tons of amazing food (don’t get me started), this season 2 workshop areas putting on fantastic workshops and a new kids seating & activity area in the kids/baby vendors (genius!).

HELLO? Writing about this show weekend doesn’t do it justice…it really is something you need to experience for yourself…its such a great place to spend your time and moo-lah (hint, hint, mother’s day will be just a few weeks away…and wouldn’t you rather support local entrepreneurs-duh;), and its all for a good cause. I guarantee you will walk away with a warm fuzzy feeling…and I dare you to tell me you don’t like warm fuzzies.

Spring has sprung!
