teaching women to think on true things

GIVEAWAY hosted by Work of Worth {don’t miss this}

It’s that time of the year…if you’re a planner. Me? I usually do the thing where I’m frantically shopping two weeks before Christmas trying to find the perfect gift. And it often flops. Or if it doesn’t flop it’s highly and terribly stressful…and people are pushing and grabbing. Namely me. So, this is where I get to swoop in with an imaginary cape and save the day for all of us.

Long story short, a friend of mine, Kristi Griem, is now the COO of an amazing organization called Work of Worth (WoW). Basically, Work of Worth is an import and distribution company, “empowering ethically-motivated, indigenous entrepreneurs by connecting their business to the global market.” In layman’s terms, Work of Worth tells us about things we can buy so that we’re actually making a difference in the world by helping to free oppressed families, in Jesus name.

Kristi contacted me a few months back asking if I’d consider being a voice for WoW by curating a collection of their products. And because I adore Kristi and love her heart for the world, I was honored.

So here’s my curated collection. And for the record, using the word “curated” makes me feel very professional.

Bottom line, you and I are going to buy more stuff in coming months. And we could actually buy stuff that makes a difference — items that bring literal freedom to oppressed families all over the world.

 

“We want to value their work so that they may create a more valuable future for their families and future generations.” ~ Work of Worth

    SO hard to pick only two of my favorite items but other than your curated items, the Sari Leaf Earrings and the Leather Sling Bag. I will definitely be checking LOTS off of my list from this collection. I love being able to give gifts which in turn give a gift to the person who made it! Thanks for bringing this great organization to my attention!

    I am seriously loving on those scarves (all of them!)!!! Wonderful partnership you have going with them!

  14. Debby Webb says

    I really like the opportunity to see/purchase items that aren’t just beautiful but benefit actual individuals. Thank you, Lara for sharing this organization with me. I think the Sari leaf earrings are gorgeous.

  15. Lisa E. says

    What a wonderful ministry!! It’s hard to pick just 2 favorites, but I REALLY love the Tribal Meets Regal Necklace, and the Rings of Hope bracelet. Thank you for the chance to win, and for spreading the word. And the Word. 🙂

  18. Angcat says

    Hi Lara, I love what WoW is doing. My favorites are (hard to pick, yes) the Eternal Beaded Scarf and the Rice Bag Coin Purse. I also like the necklace you’re wearing in your Curator photo, but didn’t see that on the WoW website.

  19. Sarah says

    I love supporting organizations that help support women in other countries! What an awesome ministry to be a part of!! Two of their items that I love are the-Garden Paisley Mini Journal
    and
    Sari Infinifty Scarf

  20. Sharon Murph Williams says

    I couldn’t get away from the description of advocacy on their website, so compelling! My two favs were the Leather Sling Satchel and the Sari Leaf earrings.

  23. CV says

    Because I’m such a journal nut, I really love their journals, and the prices! Can’t wait until they have more stock. And I’m crazy about the summer orchard necklace as well.

  24. Vivia says

    So hard to pick just two, but my two favorites are the Gypsy Relic Necklace and the Eternal Beaded Scarf. I love businesses that give back, it makes me happy to support them.

  26. Kristin S says

    What a great idea! I love that leather tote (been on the hunt for a tote) and Rings of Hope bracelet.

  27. Sarah says

    The Bird on a Line journal (for me), and the Sari Leaf Earrings (also for me, but maybe for my mom). Thanks for bringing these great gift options to readers’ attention! Happy October!

  28. Laura H says

    Oh, how I enjoy wearing scarves! The “Eternal Beaded” is really a neat twist on combining a necklace and a scarf. I like the ocean depths color the best. I also like the “Summer Orchid Necklace.” Pretty pretty! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  29. Margie says

    WOW to choose only one. I really like the small rice bag purse and the journals. I give journals to all my Bible study group. Guess Christmas shopping for them is done.

  30. Kristi Griem says

    Thank you for your advocacy for those that have no voice! More women will know freedom and dignity because of you and all your readers!! Hallelujah!

  31. Heather Adragna says

    Leather sling bag is captivating! The eternal beaded scarf is gorgeous! So glad to hear of WOW. Right up my alley for gift giving. Thank you.

    I LOVE the Summer Orchard Necklace and the Rings of Hope bracelet. So glad to know of this worthy organization. 🙂

  37. Beth says

    I love the sari infinity scarves and the blue journal with the birds on it. I’m pretty sure I’m seeing some Christmas gifts.

  39. Chris McNeal says

    LOVE this idea – purchasing gifts to truly make a difference! My favorites are the Summer Orchard Necklace, and the journals made in India. I am thinking I need to get those for two of my friends who went on a mission trip to India last year!!

  41. Lynnell Idigpio says

    I love the sari scarves and the tribal meets regal necklaces. Though I do also like any of the jewelry that is made from saris too. The colors and just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing about this awesome ministry!

  45. Phyllis Harden says

    I love the Grecian Goddess necklace & earrings and the Tvakh Leather messenger bag & folder. I will revisit their site. It’s wonderful!
