Do More With Your Money: bhalo

Bhalo is a fair trade company employing and helping to empower women in rural Bangladesh.   I really like the pattern and soft colors of the Jamandi Print Silk Scarves ($28).






































Wouldn't one of these scarves make a sweet gift?  I also like the geometric pattern on this top.  Read more about how this fair trade company functions here.

I'm recovering from a burned right hand so posts are going to be short and sweet for the next few days.  Typing with my left hand is slooooow and cumbersome.

    Love these...patterns and colors are awesome. I am a scarf nut...I don't think I've ever seen a scarf that didn't have my name on it. :)

    Put lots of aloe (fresh if you can get it) on you burn. Hope it feels and heals better very soon.

    Btw, Love your profile pic, you are so beautiful!!!! ~xOXo~
