Transit Token Necklaces for “Sandy”
I wanted to make something special in order to help with the aftermath of
cyclone “Sandy”. Then I remembered some of these antique transit tokens that
I had stashed away for a rainy day and thought they would be perfect for
raising a bit of money for the cleanup efforts that are currently underway
on the East Coast. The Curious Nest will donate 100% of the sale of these
limited one-of-a-kind necklaces to the American Red Cross. If you see one
that you like just message me or come by the shop starting Thursday. Our
goal is to sell them all before Thanksgiving so we can get the money to the
charity as quickly as possible! Here are the pictures and the descriptions
below of each token. The 17” necklaces are $30 ea and the 32″ necklaces are
$50. Enjoy…
