i recently heard about Noonday & love what they are doing. they are providing jobs for women in eight different countries as a pathway out of poverty. i love the style of their fair trade products and it is helping families stay together by providing skills and income. when you satisfy the needs of the oppressed, your night will become like the noonday. isaiah 58:10 i don't consider myself a huge jewelry person, but i'm kind of in love with both of these pieces. i love the green-blue color of the light layers necklace below and the organic lace earrings are my favorite & made by women in India. i love that you can read some about the artisans' stories within the product descriptions and on their blog. i also couldn't resist showing you these beautiful journals [my weakness], tea towels and clutches. such beauty and talent all around the world and each purchase helping women to care for & sustain their families. you can check out more Noonday on their website & join them on facebook. there are opportunities for trunk shows, being an ambassador & even fund raising for your adoption. my friend, sara, is an ambassador for Noonday and is offering one reader a $50 gift certificate! all opinions here are my own--sara simply asked if i'd like to spread the word. to enter: check out Noonday's website and leave a comment on this post. winner will be chosen Monday, October 24th. UPDATE: the winner is comment #6 from tara!
