Support indie crafting by voting for Blue Buddha!

Exciting! Blue Buddha Boutique has been nominated as an "inspiring small business" and we are being considered to win the Shine A Light award from American Express and NBC Universal. If we are a finalist or a winner, we plan to invest the $10,000 - $50,000 grant to speed up the process of in-house manufacturing, thereby creating more jobs in this challenging economy and helping ensure that the materials we use in are jewelry are 100% made-in-the-USA. If we are the final winner, the marketing support will increase the visibility of not only our firm, but of chainmaille and handcrafted items as a whole.

If you would like to see an indie crafting company win, please endorse our nomination! We need to be one of the top 150-most nominated businesses in order to move to the next round.

Here's how you can help:

And you're done!

Please participate with us in this exciting process! And, be inspired by the other small businesses. We appreciate your continued support, and are so grateful for you taking the time to register & endorse our nomination.
