On my radar... Give a little... Aid to Artisans

Are you familiar with Aid to Artisans?

It's an organization that creates economic opportunities for artisan groups from around the world that are faced with severe hardships where the craft traditions are at risk. The website offers featured items for sale made by the skilled artisans from countries all over the world.

Not only is this an amazing organization to support, but the products are absolutely beautiful, so it really kills two birds with one stone - give back to struggling countries and receive a beautiful product.

Here are my 2 faves that caught my eye:

Vessels from Mozambique $55 each

Haiti Etched Hearts $15 for pair (These would make fantastic Valentine's gifts!)

Breast Cancer Awareness! Wishbone Chair Auction

Take a Hans Wegner pink fishbone chair and pair 20 designers to each design their own chair cushion to be auctioned off for Breast Cancer Research... and what do you get?  Amazing and talented people doing incredible things for a very important cause.   Learn more here about the Pink Wishbone Project to Benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - For The Pink

In honor of this month - I have found some really happy pink stationary from the Paper Source. Every time my mom comes to town, she stops at their Beverly Drive location, and she always purchases the most darling stationary. It takes her an hour to pick out the few she is taking home... I have no clue who she is sending letters to.... but anyway -- super cute!!

All young professionals.... please check out The Pink Agenda, a non-profit organization for young professionals geared towards raising awareness, raising money, and finding a cure for breast cancer. This is a fantastic organization to get involved in and meet people all while focusing on a very important cause.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month - For the Pink

During the entire Month of October, I do a segment "For the Pink" giving insight to websites and places you can go to give charity, learn more about prevention, volunteer, and more. If you have any stories you would like to share please do leave a comment. This is soooo easy!!! Go to The Breast Cancer Site
and inner city, low-income making women will receive free mammograms. Let's stick together to prevent and find a cure for breast cancer.

Also --- if you know of a great product that donates to the cause for Breast Cancer, please do let me know so that I can post it this month!
