Welcome to my Noonday Collection Sample Sale!

Hi friends! Welcome to my Noonday Collection Sample Sale!
Spring is nearly upon us, and Noonday Collection has already launched their new (and most exciting) collection yet! Trends to spot for this season are: bright bold colors like lemon yellow and cobalt blue, fringe, and the neon trend continues... check out the new collection here!
I'm selling some of my beloved samples at a great discount to make room for some new ones!
Take a look, there's turquoise for those of you that can't get enough of that pop of blue, lots of our favorite paper beads, upcycled artillery pieces, and some great earrings for every day.
 Because these are handmade, we only have a limited quantity left, and these have or will sell out soon, so if you want it, jump on it! 

Also, because I would love to get the word out about this Spring Collection, if you offer to host a Spring Show, I will give you an additional $15 off your purchase, just to say thanks for opening your home to help share our story. (Ask me about other hostess benefits like Noonday gift cards or free earrings, too!)

Winter Sunset Scarf...$35!

I love this infinity scarf... it's mostly green, but seems to go with everything somehow, with blue and pink and even some yellow woven through it. Throw it on with all your favorites, you'll love it, too!

Pelotas Bracelet... $9!

-->

Made of acai seeds sustainably harvested in the Andean region of Ecuador. Noonday Collection, in partnership with the Andean Collection,offers artisans the opportunity to participate in the global market while inspiring you with access to the elusive world of the rural Andes. (Makes my little Spanish-teacher heart go pitter-pat)

Through a manual, low energy process, acai seeds are dyed and transformed into fashion forward pieces that tell a story of sustainability. This bracelet is spot on with the “arm party” trend of layering several fun bracelets, and this rose color helps it to blend softly with many other colors, and the bright orange bead brings it all together to remind me of a good sunset. Add it to your collection today!

Banded Triangles Belt...$43!

-->

Hand-embroidered wool from Peru.

I love the geometric pattern and color-combo of this belt. (Size medium). It goes with so many things, and really adds a fun pop of color to jeans or my favorite dress!

Making these belts enables many of the artisans to earn fair trade wage while working at home while their sweet kiddos play nearby… Love thinking of them when I strap this belt on!

Draped Chain Earrings...$20!

-->

Brass, made in India.

In the past, I was not a “gold girl.” I didn’t wear it. Ever. Enter these earrings and how fabulous they look with my favorite scarves, like the Winter Sunset  or the Angelica scarf, (pictured above) and I wear gold all the time. Because the necklace needs to match, of course ;)

These are actually brass, so they oxidize a little bit, but I love the antiqued look it gives them, so I just wear them that way. If you don’t, just dip them in some jewelry cleaner every once in a while!

I hope you love these as much as I do!

Stone Dangles Earrings...$22!

-->

Brass, made in India.

Silver or Gold? Why not both, with a little turquoise as well?  These delicate earrings have been my favorites of the season, and I’m sure they would quickly be your favorites,too!

As if you needed another reason to love them, let me add a little Noonday story with this: There are 20 to 65 million bonded laborers in India, despite substantive and clear laws prohibiting this. A person becomes a bonded laborer when their labor is demanded as a means of repayment for a loan.The person is then tricked or trapped into working for very little or no pay,often for seven days a week, like modern-day slavery. Noonday Collection partners with many different jewelry-making groups in India whose goal is to build long-term equitable trading relationships that ensure low-income artisans are truly being helped out of poverty and will not become a bonded laborer. Artisans are paid a livable wage and have safe working conditions,access to health and childcare, and on-going training and education.

How’s that for making a difference one purchase at a time?

Waterfall Necklace...$29!

-->

Handcrafted in Uganda, from paper beads, with a brass chain.This is a long necklace that drapes beautifully over any favorite blouse or dress.  I love the colors combined here: soft grey, mustard yellow, and bright turquoise. My favorite feature is the grey bead that goes through the loop to fasten the necklace. Such a nice ladylike touch in the back!
