Gemstone Jewelry Sale up to 50% Off







I am having a huge gemstone jewelry sale at my shop for the next 3 days. I have also included my crocheted bracelets, peyote bracelets and earrings. You can find some real bargains here simply because I don't want to have to count it all. As the end of the year approaches I will have to do inventory and I would really like to have less to count. All gemstone jewelry in my shop is up to 50% off, giving you below my wholesale prices. This will only last 3 days so hurry over to www.divelladelights.com and check out my inventory. There are still a few holidays approaching so you can save some money and give beautiful handmade gifts of gemstone jewelry!

New Jeweled Beaded Bookmarks




I got the new Ken Follet book for Christmas and decided I needed a book mark for it so I made one! Here it is and I plan to make many more. I love them. This one is made with faux pearls, Swarovski crystals and genuine pearls although the future designs will be all genuine gemstones and genuine pearls, Sterling silver and/or 14K gold filled. The pins on this one are sterling and the wire is professional grade. You will be able to see them at my website where I have gemstone jewelry and the wonderfully successful Flapper hats. Come by and order your very own jeweled beaded bookmark.

Charities for 2009











Thank you to everyone who purchased from my website in December for the donation to Toys for Tots, we raised $68.00. We also donated over $200.00 in hats to the local hat drive for children and young mothers, thanks so much! Without the sales I could not have purchased the yarn for that project.
Divella Delights has a wide variety of prices in fiber goods and jewelry, a small sample you can see her. Pictured is a plain crocheted bracelet, Turquoise and Carnelian necklace and earrings, woman's hat and scarf set, and a men's hat. I am happy to be challenged with special orders.

I have decided I would select a charity every month of 2009 and donate 10% of all sales from my website to a specific charity.
Each of the websites I have chosen are due to an event or circumstance in my life. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 52, she is gone now so I want to begin the year with that. With Mother’s Day in May and her birthday in September I have devoted those months to the Alzheimer’s Association as well. She was a gracious lady to the end despite the ravages of that insidious disease. I lost my stepdad to heart disease when he was 47 years old. He was a wonderful man who raised me as his own little princess. My mother and stepmother both fought and survived breast cancer, my father and uncle had lung cancer. My grandmother had Emphysema and has recently died. I have 4 healthy grandchildren and I am so grateful. My daughter has just enlisted in the US Navy. Dogs Deserve Better is wonderful organization that I have volunteered for in the past. I have 2 rescue dogs and a cat. My grandmother who recently passed away had her favorite charity so to honor her I have chosen Christian Children’s Fund.
I want to thank everyone in advance for not only supporting my endeavors and all my crazy design ideas, but the charities we will be able to help together. At the end of every month when I submit the donations I will be listing the amounts in my blog. I will also be happy to e-mail a copy of the receipt to anyone who requests it. I am very excited about it and am anxious to see how much money we can raise.
I wish you all a very healthy and happy year ahead full of love and wonder.
