    Happy Fair Trade Month! Understanding the Movement

    October 20, 2020 / 3 Comments

    There are so many reasons to love October. The leaves are changing, apples are ripe for picking, pumpkin spice- everything is in stores, and the thrill of Halloween (my personal favorite holiday) lingers all month long. October is also Fair Trade Month, an annual observation of the importance of the fair trade movement to our global economy, and a time to encourage others to buy fair trade. But what is fair trade anyway? Here is a breakdown of the term and some frequently asked questions. What is fair trade?

    Trades of Hope Cyber Monday!

    December 3, 2019 / 2 Comments

    While I chose to skip Black Friday sales this year, there is something about Cyber Monday I find hard to resist. There’s no crowds or lines- just me in my pajamas browsing my favorite sites. It’s especially rewarding when you know your purchase helps women living in poverty and/or previous sex trafficking victims have dignified jobs and provide for their families. The Fair trade company Trades of Hope is offering some of my favorite pieces for up to 70% off through December 3rd. Here are some of my favorite pieces: To view all Cyber Monday sales and shop my Trades of Hope store click here!

    Trades of Hope has a new look for summer

    June 9, 2019 / No Comments

    Trades of Hope is a fair trade company that traditionally sells artisan made jewelry, bags, and home decor. This month the company added two new categories as part of their Capsule Collection. A versatile black dress and woven ikat sandals. Besides a couple kimonos, Trades of Hope has never sold apparel or shoes. I was excited to see the new collection which is classic black and white with a red accent. The pieces are made by upcycled fabrics and sustainable materials from women in Cambodia, Guatemala, and India. Here are some of my favorites pieces from the capsule collection named Endless Summer and the Summer ’19 collection! Endless Sandals Endless…

✨New post!✨ Party favors for the planet 🌎 M ✨New post!✨ Party favors for the planet 🌎 My son recently turned two, and I got to thinking about kids party favors.  While fun, they tend to be cheaply made, plastic, and have a short life before breaking or being donated, where they will mostly end up in landfills.  Are there some more eco friendly options?  For my son’s birthday we gave wildflower seeds and recycled crayons (did you know that 60 million crayons are thrown away every year?). Check out my new post for seven ideas for party favors that are better for the planet.
Vermont you always have my heart. Every time I vi Vermont you always have my heart.  Every time I visit I’m impressed with how VT has become a national leader in sustainability.  There is a ban on single-use plastics and laws requiring composting and banning food scraps from landfills.  The state is actively setting goals to combat climate change.  Gives me hope for the future.  Stay green 802. 💚

I’ve been doing the 30 mile hike challenge with my toddler to raise money for @stjude .He loves going on little hikes and picking wildflowers.  Part of #plasticfreejuly for me as a parent is showing him the material-free joys in life.  Yesterday we did mile 27 on a beautiful knoll in Woodstock.
