Piccolo Bella Hair Design along with a blend of local Menlo Park businesses, will host a winter season celebration and beauty fundraiser to generate holiday joy and support the community during this festive shopping season. By coming together as local business owners and artisans, we look to spread a festive spirit of joy throughout our community and re-vitalize our small town business district.

Complete your new look and give a lasting gift with a fashion photo taken by bay area fashion photographer.

After a morning of luxurious pampering, shop for that perfect gift at our holiday boutique at Stephen Miller Gallery; www.stephenmillergallery.com, while you enjoy an aromatic cup of tea from Rue du Tea and artisan chocolates by Jade Chocolates.

In sharing from our hearts this holiday season, a portion of the net proceeds will be donated to “Not for Sale” http://www.notforsalecampaign.org/ – an organization dedicated to abolishing human trafficking.

New Ram design

Nelly — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 06:21:17 +0000

Here is the New Ram design. It is sterling silver on a leather cord with a lobster clasp. It is not on my web site yet. It goes for $45. I am able to keep the price down on my new designs.

At least for awhile. I am recycling some old silver.

If you are interested, you can email me at Janelle@soulgems.org.

Keep a look out for more designs!!!

Maker Faire

Nelly — Tue, 24 May 2011 19:56:29 +0000

Wow!! What a great event. The people were sooo friendly and generous. I made connections and had some great conversations. People were asking me challenging questions about slavery and trafficking. I felt blessed to be with people who cared. The Maker Faire had a staff that was helpful and efficient. The spectators were educated and curious about what was going on in the world.

There is a possibility that I have found an organization to work with here in the Bay Area!!! I am waiting for a reply. It will be nice to be able to drive to a shelter and have some hands on experience with girls who have been trafficked.

Ok for now and have a great day!
