Like I wrote in my last entry, the cutbacks on my trips to the post office due to my mother’s illness affects only my Etsy shop. My Zazzle shop will be unaffected by this because the printing and mailing of products purchased through this store are not directly handled by me. Here are some products I’ve recently added to that store that you can peruse while you’re doing your online holiday shopping.

A Preview of What I’ll Be Selling at Tomorrow’s Rally on the Mall
Before my mother was suddenly admitted to the hospital a couple of days ago, I worked on two new pieces of jewelry to sell at tomorrow’s joint "Rally to Restore Sanity/March to Keep Fear Alive" on the Mall in DC that’s being put on by Comedy Central and headlined by its two biggest stars Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. I did so well at the other March on Washington earlier this month that I decided to try selling again. Of course everything is on the fence with my mother being in the hospital. I just got off the phone with her and I learned that she’ll be moved to a rehab center tomorrow but the doctors aren’t sure which one she’ll go to. (It depends on spaces available. If Rehab Center 1 has a spare room, she’ll go there. Otherwise she’ll go to Rehab Center 2.)
So basically I’ll try to visit her later this afternoon before she gets transferred to whatever rehab center she ends up at. So I’ll be able to to still make it to tomorrow’s rally to sell my stuff while my husband helps with the set up for our church’s Mexican Ethnic Dinner to honor both that nation’s bicentennial and its upcoming Day of the Dead holiday.
Of course, if things take a turn for the worse, then these plans will be scuttled and I won’t be at either tomorrow’s rally or the Mexican Ethnic Dinner.
In any case, here are the two new pieces of jewelry I’ve created just in time for tomorrow’s rally. Regardless of whether I cancel tomorrow or not, I will eventually list them in my Etsy shop.
I was insipred by Glenn Beck’s frequent crying on television. (For the record, I’ve never been able to sit through an entire episode of Beck’s show on Fox News. In fact, I have only been able to endure his show for no longer than five minutes. I’ve seen most of his clips on shows like Countdown With Keith Olbermann and The Daily Show.) I later saw this YouTube video which showed how Glenn Beck used Vick’s Vapor Rub under his eyes in order to produce tears on demand.
I am so disgusted with Glenn Beck’s frequent public antics (which includes getting his viewers to buy gold and food insurance–which entitles the purchaser of this insurance to get a whole bunch of dried foods that he/she can store in case the world ends) that I was inspired to create this jewelry. The image on this piece is based on my own artwork, Alice at the Tea Party, which I did a few months ago. I scanned the artwork into the computer and all I did was crop to the image of a crying Glenn Beck as the Mad Hatter.
When I attended the March on Washington earlier this month on October 2, I saw a young girl with her father. She was carrying a sign that said "Tea Parties are for Little Girls and Their Imaginary Friends". I thought it was so hilarious that I thought it would make the perfect slogan jewelry. I searched through my collection of Dover Publishing clip art until I found this old line drawing of a little girl throwing her own tea party for her dolls. (Judging from the style of the girl’s hair and dress, I’d guess that it was originally drawn sometime between 1890-1930.)
In addition, I will have other pieces of political-themed jewelry for sale, including this stalwart.
All of the jewelry I’m selling will have a necklace loop and a pin backing so the wearer have the option of wearing the piece as either a pendant or a pin.
