Normally, I give people a week to enter my giveaways, but Emily is participating in a show this weekend, and therefore, her Etsy shop will be closed. So, since you can't view her items, I have extended the deadline until next Saturday. But, you can still play and view her items at her site at www.mchenwears.com.

It is a fundraiser for the art programs at the Paideia School here in Atlanta, and a great to get your holiday shopping done. So if you're in Atlanta, come on by to check out the great artwork by local artists. The sale takes place at Paideia's art gallery gym on Saturday, Nov. 14th 10-5, and Sunday, Nov. 15th 12-5.Happy http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/JuneShin/~3/ugO3ooqgEbY/paideia-art-visions.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (June Shin)0http://juneshindesigns.blogspot.com/2009/11/paideia-art-visions.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702131422052960871.post-6111699355523898238Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:00:00 +00002009-11-11T17:12:11.888-05:00etsynecklaceearringstreasuryjewelrysoapoktakThere's a great little cafe here in Atlanta called Sun in My Belly, that makes great food and is a great brunch spot.
