I am loving these bracelets made by Ugandan women using recycled paper beads. A great present for your mom, sister or any of the women in your family.

Glassybaby Handblown Glass Cups - Support Health, Healing, and Quality of Life

When the first glassybaby was created in 1998, Lee Rhodes, glassybaby creator and founder, was raising her three small children and fighting what would become a 7-year battle with a rare form of lung cancer.

The company’s goodwill policy has already donated more than half a million dollars to charities that benefit “health, healing, and quality of life” including Gilda’s Club, American Red Cross, and Humane Society.

 Part of the many dreams in forming Bale & Twine was to find ways to give back and share in our good fortune. Today we start by selecting a different charity/organization each month to donate to. A percentage of your purchase will go towards this goal. Thanks for making our dream become reality.
