FAIR TRADE FRIDAY | WOMEN’S ETHICAL FASHION | KINDRED TOTE

Posted on December 10, 2018 by Tawny

I thought it was finally time to talk about our Kindred Tote–which is made in India! This was gifted to all of us Compassionate Entrepreneurs for FREE at our annual Trades of Hope conference, along with some other Fall 2018 line goodies! (Perks of being a Compassionate Entrepreneur, among many others!) I hadn’t done any […]

Instagram post 2188617789597859398_4764594241 When you #shopFairTrade at my online store, you aren’t just using your dollar to vote for sustainable change and sustainable business for my artisan sisters and their families (though that is my favorite thing about this work). You are doing the same thing for me and my family. You aren’t just supporting them; you’re supporting me. And for that, I am so very grateful!

😍Jeweled Necklace (Retail $28)
🎁Indu Tassel Necklace (Retail $38)
🎄Eternity Necklace (Retail $26)

If you have been waiting to order from my Black Friday sales, today is the day to do it!

Thanks in advance for supporting our artisans and my small business! I truly appreciate each of you! ✅Ps. I would love to know which necklace you love the most and which one you think I would pick!

Instagram post 2183801267520101760_4764594241 We're about to shoot back to the States on Monday for a quick visa renewal trip and we happen to be able to celebrate Thanksgiving while there. In this season of thankfulness, we have so much to be thankful for. 
We are especially thankful for our prayer and financial supporters. If it wasn't for them, we could not be here doing what we do. 
We also want to shout out those supporters who answered God's leading to fulfill our need for our truck. 
So... thank you support family! We are truly blessed with an amazing group of people and are grateful for each and every one of you! 🍁🍂Happy Thanksgiving Week! 🦃🌽🍎🍁
Instagram post 2180292148083296425_4764594241 This guy survived 4 days ALONE last week living the bachelor life, (ordered food, communicated with our landlord who randomly shows up), ran youth group by himself on Thursday night, took our Honduran cook shopping on Friday, AND ran a meal at the Filling Station on Saturday.

He absolutely KILLED it and even said his Spanish improved since he had to use it. Just saying... he's totally a professional missionary now. 😉

I'm so proud of him... But he said he's never doing that again. 🙃😂
Instagram post 2176348595900837381_4764594241 -BLACK FRIDAY BATTLE OF THE HOST-

I'm looking for some ladies who would like to participate in my Black Friday battle of the hostesses! You'll get your own party (affiliate) link, event, and Hostess Rewards (what you earn with your affiliate link). The 1/2 off item hostess rewards are DOUBLED this month so you get double the 50% off Fair Trade items!

You'll be competing to have a mama kit donated in your name if you're the top seller! 
Drop a comment below or send me a message if you would like to participate in this event.

Guess what?! Some of the info. for the Black Friday sale was just leaked!! Here's what I heard.... 🎉at least a dozen pieces will be put on clearance beginning on Monday, November 25! 🎉 starting Wednesday, each day during the sale a brand new and previously unavailable piece will be released and up to 40% off! The new pieces will be available until they sell out! 🎉On small business Saturday, everyone will get a FREE necklace for a $40+ purchase!

And more!

Cast a small stone when you shop, but cast a giant rock and create MANY ripples when you host!! It's going to be so much fun!!
Instagram post 2175708502487848003_4764594241 We're on day 2 of the miracle morning, so I had the time to finish up a fun blog post! 
100% Inspired by some of my fellow Trades of Hope sisters, it's a Fair Trade + Ethical gift guide for the Enneagram!

I was tickled that they picked the Free Spirit Earrings for the type 7s, as they are some of my favorites and I am a little bit of a free spirit I would say. 🙂 The Wayfarer Backpack, Nabina Scarf, and Revival Cuff weren't in the gift guide, but they are what I like to pair with my Free Spirit Earrings. In fact, we're about to take a trip up into the mountains to order some new baskets from artisans and I'll be hauling my Wayfarer on that afternoon adventure!

Go check out the post at the link in our bio and tell me, were the picks right for you or would you change something about them?

Feel free to save this post and tag any other Enneagram junkies you know in the comments.
Instagram post 2173386982042322752_4764594241 One month ago, we started this new adventure that God put us on with six suitcases and a vision for ministry to the people of Honduras.

Here are a few things we can happily report:⁣
⁣
1. Our house is truly starting to feel like home. Red walls and all. 😂⁣
⁣
2. We've learned how to get around La Paz, and zipping around on our moto is no problem. 🛵⁣
⁣
3. It hasn't been easy, but we've managed to keep Luke alive, even on a no gluten & no corn diet. 🌯⁣
⁣
4. Our brains are starting to make us want to mix Spanish words in when talking to friends and family back in the states or even to each other. It's definitely making us have to think before we speak! P.s.- Tawny dreamed a little bit in Spanish the other night! ⁣
⁣
5. God has blessed our ministry in the last month. We've been able to start English classes (last week we had 11 students!) and Youth Group (we had 15 teens last week, and we're hoping for more once the fair is out of town 😂). ⁣
⁣
We're looking forward to faithfully continue these ministries, and we're excited about the holiday season coming up! We can't wait to experience Christmas and New Year's in another country, as well as the ministry opportunities that may come along with them. 
Here's to another great month full of learning and growth! 🇭🇳
Instagram post 2172138791875538949_4764594241 Last Thursday, we had a great time kicking off our teen youth group nights with a fall fest night.⁣
⁣
 Tonight, we have our first "normal" teen night but that doesn't mean there won't still be fun to be had. ⁣
⁣
After the fun, Luke is going to start taking the teens through The Story of Hope from ABWE. ⁣
⁣
(Little known fact: Luke's great uncle was one of the authors of this evangelism tool.)⁣
⁣
 The Story of Hope walks through the story of God's plan through the Bible and shows people how that plan is also God's desire for their life. Thankfully, this tool has been translated into Spanish! ⁣
⁣
Pray that we will be able to communicate accurately and clearly through a translator with the teens. ⁣
⁣
Plus, Luke is a little nervous since he's new at this but we know he'll do fine with God's help!
Instagram post 2168638020068394589_4764594241 It felt like fall here today... I can't be the only one who uses their too sweet iced coffee that they got at a coffee place, in this case the usual culprit Dunkin' (I thought for sure they wouldn't in a country like Honduras with their strong coffee, but I was mistaken) as creamer for their coffee for the next few mornings.

Who else does it or am I the only weirdo?☕ P.S. I'm loving how this mug Angie lent us matches our house and also the hammock that's waiting to be hung the moment we acquire a step ladder. 🇭🇳
