Monday Essentials: Help Heart and Stone Open a Storefront Through IndieGoGo

 Julie Booras is looking to expand her jewelry store Heart and Stone, and she wants your help.

Booras recently took to the crowdsourcing website IndieGoGo to help raise the funds needed for her new storefront. 

"When we outgrew my little basement space we moved in to a shared studio space. Which was awesome! But, we still couldn't be open to the public:( And that made us sad. While we love to design with people online - in person it makes it even that much better!  Without the people something just felt missing...." Booras said on the IndieGoGo page.

The goal is to raise $14,000 to help afford the new storefront in Northborough, and with 15 days remaining she is 15 percent to he goal.

Donors get different rewards based on the amount of money they pledge. At $10 a donor will get a gift certificate to the store for the amount the pledge, at $1,400 the donor and five of their friends will et an opportunity to design and make their own silver pendants.

If you want to check out Heart and Stone's jewelry before committing to the campaign, they will be participating in the giant tent and sidewalk sale at The Shops at Kendall Square, 269 West Main Street Northborough on Aug. 10 and Aug. 11, the sales will be part of the state's tax-free weekend.
