collaboration with noonday {with a giveaway}
Do you ever feel like you want to make a difference, but you just don’t know how? Like anything you do feels somehow insignificant to a world in need of so much more than you can offer?
Me too.
It’s like we’re plugging a hole in a raft with one hundred more.
But I’ve heard story after story of little acts making a huge impact in one person’s life. A boy who had food to eat that day. A surprise latte that encouraged a hopeless neighbor. A pair of shoes for a child without. These don’t seem like a big deal to most of us – we eat and have jobs and wear clothes like its normal – but to those who need it most, it is a miracle.
I like being part of miracles.
Which is why I love Noonday Collection.
Noonday Collection sells jewelry, gifts, items for the home and accessories – all made by artisans working their way out of poverty. They also advocate for orphans, offering care and prevention, and support adoption as well. All items are fair-trade and locally made, which means with each purchase, you are truly making a difference.
I am honored to announce that JDC and Noonday have collaborated on a new journal. I know it’s just a little thing, but I feel so honored to be part of something bigger – helping women across the world make ends meet for their families.
My part was simply to design the cover and the artisans in India turned them in to beautiful works of art. Each is 5 x 7 and printed on super thick cotton paper.
The cotton pages inside are blank so you can jot notes, doodle, dream or journal.
Each journal included information about the artisan who created the journal – it reminds us that even a small purchase can make a big difference in another family’s life.
The journals are now available at Noonday Collection.
I just know you will love them!
To kick things off, we have two lovely journals to give away. Here are the rules:
1. like JDC facebook page {right here}
2. like Noonday Collection facebook page {right here}
3. leave a comment
I’ll announce the winners this week!
