Gorgeous Gifts... and a Great Cause!

Darlings, CC is so excited to (re)introduce you to Mercado Global, an amazing online merchant that empowers rural indigenous women to overcome poverty and become agents of change in their communities.  All of the items featured in the Mercado Global shop are handmade by artisans who use the additional income to send their children to school, buy nutritious food, and solve other needs within their communities.  By tapping into the international market and becoming successful small business owners, these women are able to break the cycle of poverty in their countries.  CC hopes you love these gorgeous holiday gifts as much as she does, and that you will support this amazing cause!

All items at mercadoglobal.org.
