GIVE WITH GRACE: 31 BITS FALL COLLECTION

I've shared about my affinity for 31 Bits this past summer. Not only does this organization create beautiful jewelry, but they also create self-sustainable jobs for women in Uganda. Through these jobs creating jewelry, the women are able to overcome adversity, send their children to school, support their families and help their own communities. Incredible!

I admire these hard-working women who carry themselves like the Proverbs 31 woman: 

"She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.

She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.

She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 

Her children arise and call her blessed."

And this Fall, I've fallen in love with 31 Bits' new collection! You may have noticed this gorgeous Wild Willow necklace in previous posts. It gets so many compliments and I love how it can be dressed up or down. Plus, you can shorten it like I did for this fun Fall pastel look by temporarily knotting the beaded chain. The Flora Frenzy bracelet has also been a staple this season. It's such a fun piece that can be worn by itself or layered with your other favorite arm candy.

Thanksgiving is around the corner and it's my favorite time of year as we are reminded to give thanks for all that we have been blessed with. I have been blessed with much, and I hope to share my blessings with these amazing women in Uganda!

So what do you say? Will you give with grace & wear it while you're at it? 

Join me in supporting these strong women of 31 Bits and help them support their families by purchasing their handmade jewelry. They make the best gifts too for the ladies and little girls in your life! I promise you will be getting lots of compliments on your jewelry when you start wearing 31 Bits! And when those compliments start rolling in, take that opportunity to share the story behind the piece!
