The Mustard Seed team wants to thank our customers, volunteers and suppliers for our most successful jewelry trunk show to date! Our profits will benefit the Hope for Life Clinic in Kenya and Beacon Place in Waukegan. We have more information about both of these worthy organizations on our home page.
For those of you who could not make it to the show, we still have beautiful jewelry pieces from Vicky Chignall, Sasa Designs for the Deaf, Sandpiper Imports and Entoto Beth Artisans. Our volunteers would love to show you the pieces and tell you the stories behind the different companies. For example, two of the pictures below feature jewelry from Entoto Beth Artisans. This company is an Ethiopian business which provides fair trade employment to over 100 women in an effort to restore a community that has been ravaged by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The company creates unique, hand-crafted jewelry pieces by using local materials such as thread, reused artillery shells and coated Ethiopian coffee beans!
