First up was a tee that was donated by www.unlockhope.com. This company uses a portions of all proceeds to provide young refugee girls in Uganda with food, healthcare, and a safe place to live.
Second was a custom necklace by www.pennypowersjewelry.etsy.com. They stamped my mantra "Take less. Give more." onto a repurposed penny. The gals at Penny Powers also made a personalized necklace for every little girl at Thornwell! And, if that wasn't enough, they even sent me a little gift - a key chain with "1YWR" on it. They are continuing to offer the "Take less. Give More." necklace on their website for the month of March and will be donating 10% of all proceeds from the sale of those necklaces to Thornwell.
Third was a bracelet that is near and dear to my heart. It was made from the handles of an old Louis Vuitton handbag that got ruined with water damage. I called up my good friend Ashley Hoffman (www.ashhoffmanjewelry.com) and asked her if she would help me create something. She was more than happy to help! And the results were amazing!! 4 bracelets and 3 necklaces. I auctioned off one of the bracelets on my Instagram feed. And I am giving another to the winner of a "Teammate Contest". Check out my Instagram feed for all the fun details! You can also see our video on "Everyday Ash" by clicking here.
Part 2 coming soon...
So stay tuned and follow along on Instagram if you are interested in bidding on any auction items.
I'm not on social media for Lent, but Lisa filled me in the contest! Obviously I'd be entering to win for her. ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't have any purses or jewelry I can repurpose, but my brain is working to find something!
