Hannah James' Partnering Family

It's definitelly a win-win for everyone! Head on over to check out more of her pretty things.

Here's just a few of my favorite things from her shop:

See something you like?  Didn't get what you want for Valentine's Day?  Have a bad day and think you deserve something pretty?  Do you like to support adoption? 

If you said yes to any of those questions, head on over to Hannah James shop now!

Magazine Bead Necklaces

We are selling these popular necklaces through the wonderful ministry 147MillionOrphans.  They buy them and resell them to families who are fundraising to help bring home their child.  They're so popular, in fact, that they're sold out on their website right now, so get them here while you can!  These would make great Christmas gifts for friends, family, teachers....anyone you can think of!

"147 is honored to share the story of our sisters in Uganda who hand make these necklaces from recycled paper.  They roll the beads by hand, dip them in varnish, and thread them onto the string.  Prior to learning how to make these beads, most of the women 'picked trash' or turned to prostitution to provide for their children.  By purchasing this necklace, you help a mother make a sustainable income to provide for her family.  This purchase also helps feed a child in Uganda."  {147 Million Orphans}

To order, simply click the "Magazine Bead Necklaces for Sale" button on the right side of our blog.  You can select your quantity up to 6 (if for some reason, you want to order more than 6, let me know and I'll change the quantity for you!).  You can pay with your PayPal account or by debit/credit card.  I will ship your necklace(s) directly to the address of your choice.  Order now and I'll send them in time for Christmas gifts!  Your purchases go directly into our adoption account and help get us one step closer to bringing our little boy home!  Thank you and feel free to message me with any questions!

Hannah James' Partnering Family

I'm so excited to tell you that we are one of Hannah James' partnering families for the months of November and December! 

What does this mean? 

It means that you should go shopping.  Go shopping for yourself.  And while you're at go ahead and do a little lot of Christmas shopping. You can purchase from Hannah James {storenvy}.  There are several partnering families for the holiday season so be sure to include something like "Wayman Family Adoption" in your note to the seller.  50% of the profits help us bring our little home.  And 50% help bring her little one home.

So, it's a win-win! Head on over to check out more of her pretty things!

Free the Nations Love!

I was so excited when Sarah contacted me about her awesome new website called "Free the Nations."  They are focused on fashionable fair trade jewelry.

Here's a little bit about Free the Nations from their website:
Our Vision:   To empower impoverished communities around the world with sustainable economic solutions that foster both collective and individual growth.

Our Mission:   To give individuals opportunities to help eradicate extreme poverty and human exploitation around the world through fashion.

Our Philosophy:    Free the Nations is a fashion movement—an ideology that your purchase can make a difference in someone’s life. We believe it is possible that fashion can not only make you feel good about yourself, but also bring freedom to others from poverty, disease, slavery, and exploitation.

Here's a few of my favorites:

Chloe Circle Bracelet

Suubi Bracelets

Azura Teal Earrings

Anika Glass Earrings

Crested Crane Necklace

 Paper Pearls Necklace

Agate Glass Pendant Necklace

Must-Have

My friend Kristin and I hosted a Stella and Dot party for our friend Katie last Sunday.  We had lots of fun getting to help people pick out some beautiful jewelry.  If you were unable to come and would like to order, here's your last chance!  Go to www.stelladot.com/katiewatson.  Click on "find your hostess" link in the top righthand corner.  Enter in "Kristin Stevens" and continue shopping.  Shipping is a flat $5.95, and your jewelry comes in a beautiful package.  I almost didn't want to open mine (almost!). 

Below are a few pictures of some of my favorites.  Some of you may remember that fellow blogger Janell generously donated a Stella and Dot giftcard to our Give Hope Adoption Auction.

I have the arrow necklace below and LOVE IT!

In the catalog, they have the 2 necklaces below layered with the arrow necklace.  (HINT HINT hubby!)

The 2 bangles below are also on my wish list (hope your paying attention hubbs!)

My sister ordered these earrings and wore them to my baby's sister's graduation on Saturday and looked BEAUTIFUL in them!  I will have to borrow them soon!

Get online and order yours today!  It would make a great gift for a friend or an upcoming graduate.What are some of your favorites from the Stella and Dot collection?  It's so hard to choose just one!
