My Project or Shameless Self-Promotion

Dress: Anthropologie Waffle Weave Dress (2010), Cardigan: Anthropologie Remaining Lilies Cardigan (2010), Boots: Anthropologie Elk Camp Wedge Boots 2010
Since I've been kind of sick, dressing is really challenging. Very few of my clothes actually fit well now. I originally put on a blouse and a cute pair of pants, but the blouse hung off me and made me look like I was playing dress up. Ugh. I find myself dressing to hide my weight loss, which is irritating. I'm hoping that the GI specialist can figure out what's going on. Thank you to all, who wished me well in my last post.

Maybe some of you have noticed, but I put some new links in my blog header. So, the secret's out: my project is Xerces Blue Ensemble. I have been working hard over the past few months to form a dedicated early music vocal ensemble. I am so lucky to have the talents of my friends James and Shannon Rose to go with me on this adventure. We are trying to fundraise for our Spring Concert Series (putting on a concert series is quite expensive, I've discovered!). You can take a listen to us and see you if you like what you hear! If you do, give us a donation! It is 100% Tax-deductible since we are a Fractured Atlas fiscally sponsored project.

 
We are trying to schedule the series in mid-May! I'm REALLY excited about this project! We have a beautiful concert programmed! If you know someone who really LOVES classical music tell them to support us! If you prefer...you can donate in the form of buying some of my pretty handmade jewelry at my new Etsy Shop. I'm not done listing all of my pieces yet...here is a sample of what's to come...

Amethyst and Citrine Earrings: $45

Enamel, Smoky Quartz and Citrine Earrings: $30
Like? I hope you do! I'll be giving away one pair to a very lucky blog reader very soon, so stay tuned for a giveaway! (Jewelery giveaways seem to be the Anthro-blog theme of the week!) 100% of the proceeds from the shop will go to the Xerces Blue Ensemble Spring Concert Campaign, so it's a feel good purchase for art!

  2. I love classical music, especially baroque, which this piece sounds like. I played similar music for my daughter's when they were babies, so soothing. I wish I lived where you are because it would be amazing to attend such a sweet sounding concert, but please email me if you guys release a CD, I would surely buy it!!
