Doing Better

I love the Maya Angelou quote above. Sometimes I don’t want to forgive myself for things I’ve done in the past, but then I realize I didn’t know better. Guilt is tough!

I have known that I wanted to do better for this growing artistic venture, but I didn’t know how until now. As I’ve said before the packaging I use is recycled, the wood is reclaimed USA barn wood, some of the shirts are organic cotton and bamboo etc.

I don’t want to compromise when it comes to the planet. The earrings come with either 14k or sterling silver attachments for several reasons but primarily so that those with sensitive skin are more likely to be able to wear them. Now I have the best of both worlds. I have found the high quality metal, sourced in the USA through Rio Grande Jewelry, and they have recycled metal!! I will be switching over each of my products and all new products will be made with recycled materials minus the 14k gold which is not recycled but is sourced in the USA. This makes my heart happy today.
