Day Nineteen...
Have I mentioned yet that I am obsessed with trash? Well, I am. I think it incredibly interesting what people do/don't consider garbage and why. I also am intrigued with what may be done with an object instead of throw it in the garbage, or what may be pulled out of garbage and be considered a treasure. I have a feeling there will be many more blog posts on this subject... Tonight I'm going to share with you some jewelry that is made partly with what was thrown out as trash but was rescued and is now part of a piece of jewelry.
If you attended the Safe Passage 10-year celebration and fundraiser you probably saw this jewelry with your very own eyes. I purchased a necklace which is made of rolled magazine beads strung together by fishing line and a small clasp.
Okay, you still can get in on this. I'm on the inside track so if you like what you see, email me and we'll hook you up with some incredible jewelry, handmade by women in Guatemala who benefit directly from Safe Passage.

By the way, what a fantastic time I had at the fiesta! I ended up with three beautiful pairs of earrings and a bracelet because I just couldn't choose between the pieces. Bravo on the awesome effort made by the leaders, helpers and the helped!
