Give a Little

December might just be my favorite month of the year.  As much as I love to buy gifts for the people I love,  I always end up buying myself something too.  The tradition started with my Dad, ever since I can remember he would buy himself something that he really wanted, wrap it and put it under the tree.  In the past I have felt a little guilty being the one to carry on this tradition but not this year, and here's why...

These Congo inspired papier-mache bowls aren't just for looks- for every bowl sold, $6.00 will be donated to the Horn of Africa Disaster Relief Fund. Created in partnership with Bandu Designs and Mercy Corps, the vibrant bowls are made by hand using recycled magazines, and employ a project group in South Africa that supports HIV positive women and children. It's a win win...I can buy myself something gorgeous this year and be helping an important cause for my people at the same. Merry Christmas everyone!
