RAW: Pittsburgh, 4/24/2014 ... help me & get 10% off!

**For the first 20 tickets sold from us we will give each attendee 10% off any Vehement Romantic jewelry purchase made during the month of April 2014, including at the show!**

Vehement Romantic invades the new RAW: Pittsburgh space in two weeks!! Here's the skinny:

RAW: Pittsburgh presents Spectrum
Club Zoo
1630 Smallman St
Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Thursday, April 24, 2014, 7pm
Ages: 21+, ID required

What to expect: hundreds of guests, fully stocked bars, food provided by BRGR, DJs, dancing, mingling, networking, and tons of art to experience and purchase! Each artist must sell a number of tickets to the event and is financially responsible for any unsold tickets. Presale tickets are being offered at a discounted price as low as $15 until April 21, but we are also accepting donations of any amount through the day of the show from those who cannot attend (see below for links and my special offer for the first 20 ticket buyers). As a thank you to those of you who do attend, I am unveiling my best jewelry to date at this event because I know that the audience will be true lovers and supporters of amazing local art. Speaking of which, this art party is rightfully named Spectrum, as it is poised to showcase the full spectrum of raw Pittsburgh talent in the fields of visual art, film/video, fashion, accessories, music, photography, performing art, and much, much more!

Can't make it to the show, but still want to help us reach our goal? Fear not, loyal supporters! I've created an online option for you to donate as little as $1 towards making this event a reality! Although I'd love to see everyone at the event, I'd be humbled and most grateful for your help nonetheless!! :) To donate via credit/debit card, simply click the following link, click Add to Cart, and change the Quantity to indicate the amount of your donation (4 = $4.00, 8 = $8.00):

One March, going RAW in April, FB Milestone!!

Thank you to everyone on Facebook for pushing Vehement Romantic over 400 likes. Keep sharing, keep loving, keep sharing the love!! <3

I'm pleased to announce that I have decided to showcase my jewelry design and creations at the Pittsburgh chapter of RAW again this year in late April!! I had such an amazing time last year. The outreach and new faces were fresh and exciting, and the level of business I drummed up was certainly worth it!!!

One show (good one at that!!) left in March, so you don't want to miss it!! This weekend (Sat & Sun) at the Monroeville Convention Center is the Keys to Living EXPO!! This is a brand new event in Pittsburgh, and I've been selected to join the field of renowned mediums (readers), yogis, healers, artists, churches, charities, and vendors. If you seek health, healing, and balance through nature, spirituality, and art, then this is the place for you! This is the beginning of my spring line of jewelry... A lot has changed, and it keeps getting better and better!! I have new and exciting pieces, methods, displays, and ideas that will be sure to satisfy that urge to get back outside we've all been feeling over the winter! See you there!!

I've been adding a lot of my new items to Etsy.  I know I haven't had much on there recently, but I figure I should keep it more up-to-date (especially with the help of my handsome assistant, hehe!) for the holiday season :)  I plan to keep both it and Facebook more updated with my available pieces going into the New Year, especially since the heart of my show season has come to a close.  Speaking of the New Year, I hope to be vending at many more regional and national events, as well as music festivals, so keep checking back, and keep spreading the word!!  Thank you all for a wonderful 2013!!  2014 is bound to be even better!!!
