Cute bead people - nice story - and charity...

Now - I absolutely DO NOT know this person -- but - a gal in my office was wearing this cute bead person with wire hair pin today... it was adorable. Donna (my friend at work) knows I make beads -- and when I asked where she got her pin she told me about this artist.... who she apparently knows personally.

apparently she has been featured in IN STYLE and on OPRAH - (sorry I never see that show --). The neat thing is the following about her company: "Our Mission at MOONBABIES is to create handmade, unique and whimsical bead and wire products that bring a smile to your face. Our "Babies" are made by local MoonMoms who have the option to work at home so that they can raise their own babies! "

AND "a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each MOONBABY to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, in the spirit of charity and preserving the health of this country?s most precious resource- the children. "

They are pretty darling ---and the one I saw was very well made. Donna says she has two others at home. I wonder if I sent them a lampwork bead - if they would make me one with one of my own beads..... anyway - I thought I would share ...
