			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Veruca Star Designs" href="http://www.verucastardesigns.com.au/" target="_blank">Veruca Star Designs</a> 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.<a href="http://canberrasouthsidemarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bracelet_210sq.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-762" title="Bracelet" src="http://canberrasouthsidemarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/bracelet_210sq.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I am a regular at the Canberra Southside Market and am looking forward to the Spring Fair Saturday September 11, between 10am &#8211; 2pm. My stall is located inside within the main Scout Hall please drop by and say hi.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">Animal Asia Moon Bear Rescue<a href="http://canberrasouthsidemarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/moon-bears.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-727" title="Moon Bears fundraising jewellery &amp; bags" src="http://canberrasouthsidemarket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/moon-bears.jpg" alt="Moon Bears fundraising jewellery &amp; bags" width="174" height="568" /></a></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">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. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">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.</span></div>
<div> </div>
