Sugar Magnolia Necklace by LonesomeRoadStudio

April and May are just full of beautiful trees in bloom, and dramatic magnolia flowers are among my favorite... and I love the Grateful Dead song, too.

5% of the purchase price of "Sugar Magnolia" will be donated to the EFA Artists Helping Animals charity of the month, and an additional 5% will be donated to VanishingBees.com, a group working to promote awareness and research of Colony Collapse Disorder in the honeybee population.

I have recently signed up to volunteer with the Great Sunflower Project (www.greatsunflower.org) and am donating to two local animal shelters in my area!
