Giveaways From Blue Buddha Boutique & Rebeca Mojica Jewelry

Enter For Your Chance To Win Chainmaille Jewelry or Supplies

giveaways-covid-May2020-blog

pandemic-mask-croppedI’m so thankful that so many of you have continued to support Blue Buddha Boutique though the twists and turns of the past 17 years.

This community has given me so much (too much to try and squeeze into one blog post!), and I want to do a little to give back. I especially want to help those who have lost income during these times and have cut back on spending. Or, those who may not have lost income but who were already living paycheck to paycheck before the pandemic.

I know that chainmaille is not the same priority as food, medicine and shelter. At the same time, chainmaille can be an amazing bright spot in someone’s day. Perhaps you feel soothed and energized by weaving maille. Or maybe you smile and feel your spirits lift when you catch a glimpse of the colorful pendant you’re wearing. Chainmaille is beauty, and there is something powerful about having beauty in your life. I may not be able to put food on your table, but I certainly can help bring beauty into your life.

Starting Friday, May 15, I’m planning on doing 2 giveaways each month. Some giveaways will be for Blue Buddha Boutique, and others for Rebeca Mojica jewelry. You can specify on the entry form which shop you’d like to receive a prize from. Winners will be able to choose from at least two prize options, including grab bags and gift certificates.

Right now, there’s no end date to this contest. I’m going to keep doing this as long as I can financially, and as long as it seems such a contest is helpful in the world. I may occasionally require participants to fill out new entry forms, especially if the structure of the contest is changed.

This contest is done on the honor system, similar to a “pay what you can” entrance fee. I’m not going to be “policing” your entries or asking for proof of hardship or anything. So just use your best judgement. If you know that you are financially secure, and will be for weeks/months to come, please make space for those who are not as fortunate. I do, however, encourage you to enter on behalf of someone else you know who would be delighted to receive supplies or finished jewelry.

There may be some of you who would like to enter, but are unsure if you qualify because even though you’re struggling with money, you can think of plenty of people who are worse off. If you’re having those thoughts, I invite you to enter! (There’s ALWAYS someone, somewhere amongst the 7.5 billion humans on this planet, who is going to “have it harder.” I understand where you are coming from; I often have to fight against my tendency to justify not deserving something or asking for help!)

If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or leave a comment below.

Thank you for your support, patience and kindness during these surreal times.

EnterToWin-purpleGood luck!

That face mask is utterly beautiful. Maybe if more of them were made that beautiful more people would wear them like they should. It could be an item of personal expression and beauty.

I just bought one that is black with floating martini and wine and other cocktails on it in rainbow colors. I can’t wait to have an event to wear it to! My day-to-day mask is actually a hat with a clear plastic face shield hanging down in front of my face. It protects others from me and vice versa. It also doesn’t steam up my glasses and is great when it rains :-) It costs about $10 on Amazon. My cocktail one came from a local sewing shop that will ship. They have tons of cute fabrics available https://www.sewoside.com/
