Fall Launch and a GIVEAWAY!!

I'm so excited that the Noonday Collection fall/winter line is here!!  To celebrate its arrival, I'm doing a GIVEAWAY!!

All I want you to do is check out my website (try not to drool) and comment below with your absolute favorite, must-have pieces!

You can win a $50 gift card to purchase whatever you love most!

Could it be this?

You won't believe the amazing, heart-warming feeling you will get when you share that your necklace was made my HIV+ women who now have a sense of dignity or a widow struggling to care for her babies.

Or that families in Guatemala are able to send their children to school because they can finally afford the school fees.

You guys, we are all connected.  Our artisans are not nameless, faceless people.  They share so many of the same dreams that you and I take for granted; a safe home, clean water, nutritious food, and quality education for their children.

You will look fashionable and create a pathway out of poverty for the 1,000 artisans that Noonday currently employs.  Their stories are truly stories of redemption.

Wear their story, share their story.
When you satisfy the needs of the oppressed, your night will become like the noonday.  Isaiah 58:10

Glitch

Hey Noonday Shoppers,

For some reason, when you scroll through my sample sale posts, it won't show the last four items.  Please click the item you are interested in on the Blog Archive at the right.
Also, if you're viewing my blog on your mobile device, click "View Web Version" or you won't be able to access the Blog Archive and therefore, won't see all the items.

Frustrating.  Sorry for the trouble.

My New Role

Dear Family and Friends,

I am so excited to announce my partnership as an Ambassador with Noonday Collection!  Noonday offers a line of distinctive, handmade jewelry, accessories, and home goods that provide a pathway out of poverty for men and women around the world.  

Noonday's mission aligns perfectly with my heart.  While feeling certain about my role as a stay-at-home mom, I desperately wanted to get involved in the cause to alleviate global poverty and the orphan crisis.  I feel that God has called me to this role.  (Trust me when I say that "business owner" is not a title I ever thought I'd wear!)  I'm chasing after Him and excited to see where He leads.  I'd love to have you join me!

Save the date!  My first trunk show is scheduled for Tuesday, April 30th, from 10:00 am-12:00 pm and from 5:30 pm-7:30 pm.  It will be a casual, open-house style gathering at my home.  Come check out the goods, learn the transformative stories behind each piece, and order (just in time for Mother's Day!)  Bring a friend or two!  Everyone is welcome!  

If you're ready for more, reply to this e-mail to schedule your own trunk show!  You can style your friends while making a lasting difference in the lives of vulnerable populations....plus, you get free fun stuff!  Or if you (or someone you know) are in the process of adopting, Noonday Collection will give you 10% in cash towards your adoption.

Check out my website (www.carriehawkins.noondaycollection.com) to read Noonday's full story and my bio.  You won't believe how beautiful the story is or how gorgeous the pieces are!  Host a show or purchase with love to become part of the Noonday story too!  

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Blessings,

Carrie
