A member of our Exile Island team, One Dude Nine Girls, is donating all the proceeds from her online sales of Stella & Dot jewelry from now till May 12th to Children’s Wish. So if you want to buy some fab jewelry and support a great cause at the same time, check out Katie Bowen’s Stella & Dot web site. I’ve also added a link to her web site to my sidebar.
