I have created a Fundrazr campaign to help my small business grow. We are doing great at what shows we can get to but our limited budget is restricting what we can do to grow. I would really like to add a new product (Wrap Pants and Cover Ups) and to go to more shows and am asking for your generous support to be able to do so.

As many of our freinds know we recently moved in with family to help and Robin just started working full time again about 2 weeks ago so we are starting out in the red so to speak. However, I am confident with the ability to get to shows and to buy product I can get this business off the ground! About 6 out of 9 shows have been nearly sold out by the end of the show. Every show we sell more and get better at this!

So that is what I am asking for. I am asking you all to help me grow a business so I can better take care of myself and my family. I ask because I am asking for help for our future, not just today. As the old proverb goes, "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime", well it sort of fits... I know how to do it, but the funds elude me... Anyway. I think you understand what I am saying.

Before doing this I felt the need to not only know what was needed but also I wanted to be able to present the findings and my proposal to you, my financial backers. Please let me know if you want a spreadsheet of how we are planning to spend the funds, or how I came up with this figure. A basic idea is buy stock/beads/wire/fabric/etc, pay for table costs and gas to get there, get some used tires so we are safe on the road, and make sure the babysitter can feed the kids while we are gone trying to make money. Just the basics. Also, we can use any small amount to help buy stock and such so even if you can't do much please donate, I am really good at stretching pennies!

I want to thank you all in advance for your support both now and in the past. So many of you have helped us these past couple years and I cannot wait until we can return the favor, even if we just pay it forward to someone else like us struggling to get by. Things are really looking up down here so we hope soon to be back in the black and helping others the way you have all helped us.

To tell you some about the shop and myself the primary designer Helen Buck:

We feature custom creations, a Geek Gear line as well as Goddess Gear, Skulls & Stuff as well as Steampunk Creations. Call me to create what you imagine.ImpressumI wanted a better selection of "Geek Gear" from my favorite movies and shows like Dr Who and Torchwood, Firefly and Stargate. I started my shop as a way to be creative and keep art involved in my life.

I also find beautiful beads to inspire me. Sometimes I find a pendant and a piece practically creates itself in my mind. Our beautiful planet inspires me as well, if you see a sunset a flower or an insect and want a piece to remind you of it snap a picture and send it to me. If you find a leaf with just the perfect color send me a pic and I will create something for you.

I am a fairly new shop so our stock is somewhat limited, but we are adding new items almost every day. If you see a pendant you like and want a different color accent bead for someone special, or have a gift in mind with a particular color or type of pendant or charm for someone please let me know!!!! I try to make my prices very affordable so you can gift them more easily! (even if you gift them to yourself!)
