flea market finds
that's Jill
in the Lotus Jane kiosk
selling Cambodian crafts
Jill and her husband adopted
their daughter, Jayne,
from a village in Cambodia
and a friend gifted Jill with a scarf made there
which started her thinking
how she could help women in Cambodia
and other third world countries.
Every item she sells is Fair Trade
by using primarily locally-sourced sustainable materials
the women/artisans make handcrafted unique, stylish goods
helping them to improve their lives
and
those of their families.
Some of the items
are made from recycled materials
such as bombshells and discarded magazines.
See those bracelets?
They are made from recycled flipflops!
Those beads?
Made from recycled paper!
I bought several wonderful items from Jill to be given as gifts this holiday season
