...Ah, the final push! Will she do it? Are Tireless Hearts soon be the must-have summer accessory? Or will it all just collapse like a line of dominoes? What will happen? The tension mounts; the drama heats up; the plot thickens! - Fortunately, I have treats!
I am adding a last-day goody at an especially comfortable level:$10. I'm making a limited addition of laminated, custom-stencilled spoke cards. Stick it between your spokes and be the talk of the town! This also could be an ice-box magnet (for those who don't ride alleycats.).
Both contributed donated premiums are still on the block to further entice your participation: Supervouchers for the Museum of Natural History, and a Bike Tour for Two from Bike the Big Apple! Check out the rewards for further details.
My goal for this project is to compile the seed money necessary for the license fees, application costs, and promotional materials I’ll need to bring my little charms (www.TirelessHearts.etsy.com) to craft fairs and street festivals this summer. Hope to see you out there.
