Anywho, as some of you know, I applied a few weeks ago for a job with Big Cartel. My sister Kerrie sells her jewelry on a site built with them: Handmade Obsessions. I really want the job, but I am fairly sure I botched the application. I am good at the standard cover letter and resume bit, but they didn't want any of that, and I should have modeled my answers after their short, sweet, and funny style, but I got panicky, and I think I got weird in my application. Oh well. Perhaps I belong in a more formal environment.
Anywho (again), I've gotten off track. Since just before I applied for the job, I've been following their blog and general goings on because it seems like such a cool company, helping artists and such sell merchandise in an environment particularly suited to their needs. It's awesome. I get completely distracted by the merchants of vintage clothing. That's neither here nor there.
Most recently on their blog, they've gathered and shared a smattering of their clients merchandise from which funds are going to Japan. I haven't said anything about Japan, though I felt I should. I just didn't know how to adequately give this issue justice. This is a cause I can get behind. Take the time and check out their blog, get to know the artists, and support a good cause by making a purchase. Win for everyone.
I bought a great t-shirt that both expresses support in a way that suits my quirkiness and will send money off to people that need it. Here's the t-shirt. You can buy it from Little Lunarc.
I wish I weren't in grad school so that I could afford to send a big chunk of money...or had time and money to go myself. So buy something, or at least text REDCROSS to 90999 to send $10. You can also visit the Red Cross website to help.
