I’m so excited to bring you all these pillow covers! Every time that I travel to Guatemala, I buy a pillow cover. It’s my favorite souvenir. So, when Carolina said that she knew an artisan that created this, I was super happy! There are only two of each available. There are 3 that only have 1 available and they are smaller (15”x15”). These are so soft, make fantastic gifts, and create important job opportunities for the artisan and Carolina’s small business! I want to help Carolina grow her connections and see her impact pour out in her community too!

I didn’t know that national hummingbird day was a thing, but I’m so glad that it is! The beautiful beaded hummingbirds handmade by Carolina and her family in Guatemala are one of my best sellers. At my in person events, they’re hanging on a little tree and they always bring people over. They’re beautiful and bright and unique. Wherever you want a pop of joy, hang one there! I love them in windows because of the sparkle in their tails but you could also hang them with your plants or even in your car! They’re also beautiful on a Christmas 🎄 tree.

Do you have any hummingbird stories? I love when people share one with me at events.

A pair for every day….

Looking cute and empowering women artisans at the same time? Uhm, yes, I’d like that very much. Each pair is handmade in México with love. If you’re looking for something unique that you can wear daily and you’re also passionate about paying artisans a fair wage, then you’re in the right spot. The colors and textures are 😍 and perfect for whatever you have planned for the day!
