OK, I decided I better attempt a blog post again. I had a great jewelry party for the Apparent Project. They are an amazing ministry in Haiti, that teaches locals how to make beads from "upcyled" materials like cereal boxes. Upcycle is the new hip word for recycled. Then they make beautiful necklaces and bracelets which are then shipped to the states to be sold. 100% of all proceeds go to the person who made the item. All of these Haitian artisans have amazing stories of struggle yet they are overcoming their poverty through their beautiful art.
The ladies that came to the party had so much fun trying on the necklaces and laughter was abundant. Here are a few pictures to capture the event.
