Hey, I’m Tawny!

I'm a free-spirited, kind of hippie, other-culture-loving, Vespa-obsessed mid-twenties girl with a passion for ending global poverty, abolishing sex trafficking, and keeping mamas with their babies. My husband and I strive to advocate for & pursue a slower, more ethical lifestyle, so I created this blog as a place for others who are passionate about world change to connect with Fair Trade artisan women (and men) around the world & help them support their families.

“We are kindred spirits… and now we are friends.”

You can read my full story on my about page.

"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples." -Mother Teresa

I'm feeling so humbled and grateful as I send out postcards to all the wonderful women who shopped with me this holiday season. I love sending personal notes to all of my new & returning customers as a small token of my true gratitude for every single purchase. & sending/receiving snail mail is just so fun to me! 💌🥰 Anyone else?

I know that you can shop for cheaper. But you CHOOSE to pay a little more so that women are paid fairly & in safe working conditions. So mamas can keep and feed their babies. So girls can be rescued out of trafficking situations. So women can heal from trauma.

I've heard the thank yous while face to face with my artisan partners... In the DR, Guatemala, Haiti, Nashville, & Baltimore. And lots more countries over Zoom. 🥰 And I know it's not the same, but I hope I'm able to bridge the gap even a little bit between our artisans and customers. 🫶

Sunday after Thanksgiving OOTD 🥰

Grabbed this African Wax Print Maxi Skirt during the @francisandbenedict Black Friday sales, then found this perfect dress/top from @topbuttons a few days later!

The denim top, hat, & boots are also thrifted. 🥰

I accessorized with Fair Trade pieces from @tradesofhope , some of my newest being these Gold Echo Chain Hoops, made in India. Love that they're combatting Child Marriage in India & giving women safe & Fair working conditions. 🥰

Drop OOTD to get this look!

Why am I wearing sunglasses? Oh, because the hay immediately made my eyes water so bad I had to run to the bathroom and wash all my makeup off. 😅🤦‍♀️ I promise I grew up in the country & I'm not usually a pansy like that. 🙃

Anywhooo... Most of this look is currently marked down in our Bright Friday Sale. 🥰🍂 Drop me "link" if you wanna check it out!

I thrifted the dress & it's a *little* on the short side for me, so I love wearing a flowy scarf over it for a bit more modesty. 😅

This Elva Scarf is still one of my all tine favorites for this season. 🍂🎄And this Hera collar necklace has me embracing silver again! Both made in India & fighting Child Marriage & Sweat Shops, as well as my bag. 😍

I love these Petal Earrings for a little Fall Leaves vibe too. 🥰 Those beauties are made in Peru & helping women pursue education.

Cranberry Tassel Bracelet is made in Haiti & is helping mamas keep their babies out of orphanages!

Just ONE.

If every person gave just ONE Fair Trade gift 🎁 this Christmas, it would change countless lives.

Moms wouldn’t have to relinquish their children 👦🏽 to orphanages.

Survivors of trafficking & abuse would find hope and healing ❤️‍🩹.

Meals would be put on tables 🥘.

Children could go to school 📚.

Would YOU consider simply swapping 1️⃣ of the gifts you’re giving this year for a Fair Trade gift from my shop?

We cast a vote for the world you want to live in with every dollar we spend. There is power in how we use our dollars!

Drop "link" and I'll send you the shopping link, drop "insiders" and I'll get you added to the Insider Chat!

The joy that entered my body when we turned the first string of lights on. ✨🥰🎄

We had it up from early November to February last year and that might happen again honestly. 😍
