Crooked Trails Trunk Show

Besides my warm weather dreaming, I had a trunk show at a great customer and friend’s house. 25% of the sales went to Crooked Trails. Crooked Trails is a non-profit community-based travel organization helping people broadening their understanding of the planet and it’s diverse cultures through education, community development and responsible travel. Yes, I took that straight from their website… . Check out the website though. I think it’s hard to sum up all that they do with just that little blurb. It’s a great organization and I especially love their focus on responsible travel. I feel so fortunate to have been included in such a great group. It was a great event.

Plus, it just made me feel good. For some reason, I never really knew how exactly I would want to go about donating (besides the obvious donating items for auction). But, I loved having a portion of the trunk show sales be donated. I got to meet the people, everyone was terribly enthusiastic and I just felt so much more a part of it and connected that just writing a check or mailing off a piece of jewelry. A great experience and I intend to do it again…and again .

I also have just 13 days until my half marathon, so I had to get a 10 mile run in yesterday. It was hard, but I was still able to do yard work afterwards and I’m not too sore today, so I know I can at least be able to cross the finish line. I’ll hopefully get in one more long run before the 21st. Can’t wait!

I have a few pieces to share…even some that already sold, but I want to share anyway. And, off to finish some rings, cuff links and more!

This lovely herkimer diamond necklace is snatched up already…
