Veruca Star Designs at our Spring Fair

market — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:57:31 +0000

Veruca Star Designs is the product of my life-long obsession with art and all things creative. I have always had a particular passion for gemstones and jewellery, and have been channelling my artistic impulses into handcrafting my own designs, all made with love and attention to detail.

I specialise in creating individual pieces to reflect the personality of the wearer, and can modify a design to be a different colour or gemstone, or an alternate size to suit your requirements. If you have something particular in mind, I would be more than happy to create a custom piece at no obligation.

I am a regular at the Canberra Southside Market and am looking forward to the Spring Fair Saturday September 11, between 10am – 2pm. My stall is located inside within the main Scout Hall please drop by and say hi.

To keep up with the latest happenings in the Veruca Star Designs world, visit our website http://www.verucastardesigns.com.au/ and join us on Facebook.

Asia Moon Bear Rescue

market — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 02:20:16 +0000

Animal Asia Moon Bear Rescue

Today, across China and Vietnam, more than 11,000 CRITICALLY ENDANGERED Moon Bears are trapped on bear bile farms in cages no bigger than their own bodies. These bears do not have free access to food or water, and have their bile extracted via a rusting metal catheter at least daily.

The bile is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for liver complaints, eye complaints, hangovers, haemorrhoids, and it claims to even make your hair shiny. Bear bile can be easily replaced with herbs, and can be synthesised easily in a laboratory.

The Founder of Animals Asia Foundation, Jill Robinson MBE, is devoting her life to end bear bile farming through education and now over half of China is bear bile free. She has built two Sanctuaries, one in China and one in Vietnam where the rescued bears are cared for for the rest of their lives.

Jill is coming to Canberra on July 13th. A function is being organised by the ACT Moon Bear Support group at Teatro Vivaldi. Cost is $50.00 which includes a two course vegetarian meal and a glass of wine on arrival ($40 of each ticket is being donated back to the Bears). All booking are made through www.animalsasia.org

New at the market this month – Liska Treasures

market — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 04:30:02 +0000

Liska Treasures - beaded necklace

Based in the Canberra region, Liska Treasures is a small business created by two people who found that having a passion for creating beautiful, unique and affordable pieces of jewellery for themselves could possibly turn into a viable business.

After numerous requests from co-workers and family, Lisa and Karen decided to try the market by offering their handcrafted pieces for sale via home presentations and the local market scene. They have found a niche in the market by offering a service where their pieces are fully customisable, which has, up until now, been overlooked by many of the larger jewellery businesses.

Liska caters for all ages and tastes and prides itself on the varied items it produces using quality products sourced from Australia and Thailand.

Liska also caters for weddings or any other formal occasions, and can work with you to create that special piece for your big event. They offer great deals on bridal packages – bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, etc. If you see something in their range that you like but would rather a different colour, or if something is in gold and you’d rather it in silver, etc., they can certainly help you out. They offer a full customised service.

Liska offers a great repair service – Restringing, Lengthening, Shortening – is your favourite necklace sitting in your jewellery box just waiting for a refresh?

You can find Liska on the net www.liskatreasures.com.au and at the
