Orphans and Jewelry - Oh my!!!!

Saving orphans and shopping - my two of my most favorite things!



Amazing Holly at A Purpose Driven Life is trying to adopt (or, as she says UNorphan) another special needs child from China, a little girl named Eliana, to join her wonderful family. Her friend Sarah, also an adoptive Mom of a special needs child, has her own fabulous Etsy shop and she believes so strongly in special needs adoptions that she has offered to give Holly an entire DAY to fundraise through her Etsy shop!! On July 6th all day- ALL orders through her shop that reference Elaina's adoption will benefit Holly's Elaina Adoption Fund!! Yahoo!!!

Here's how it works...click HERE to go to Sarah's Etsy shop..Sarah's Treasure Box.



Take a look at the super affordable and absolutely adorable pendant necklaces she has to offer. The average price is just $10 per necklace..and it is for the whole package...not just the pendant. She also places them in beautiful organza bags perfect for gift giving!



These necklaces appeal to ALL age groups. Holly's 15 year old son has his eye on the guitar bottle cap necklace!! These are wonderful and affordable gifts for birthdays, Christmas (stocking stuffers in July!!), teacher appreciation gifts, encouragement gifts or any gift giving occasion!!



It may not seem that such an inexpensive purchase could help Holly's adoption but it will all add up! Holly's goal is for Sarah to sell 100 necklaces on July 6th for littlr Eliana's adoption! That would be a HUGE blessing in her endeavor to UNorphan another precious treasure with special needs.



Would you consider purchasing a necklace or a few necklaces and setting them aside for Christmas gifts...I know, shopping for Christmas in July...but it is for such a great reason! :) I'm buying a few to donate to The Other Mother's Annual Charity Auction that raises funds for the Large Community Youth Organization for Inner City Kids that she runs. I know you could find a reason to but one or two or three (cuz they are sooo stinkin' cute)



Please, would you spread the word? In fact, this means so much to Holly that she will personally purchase a necklace to GIVE away to a winner of a random drawing if you will spread this on your facebook or blog page or both...just leave Holly a comment letting her know if you put it on your FB page, blog or both. And if you twitter (I don't) that counts too!



One entry per place you post about it! Let her know at her blog

Here's the skinny/recap:




On July 6th ONLY- shop Sarah's Treasure Box
Make SURE you leave a note when checking out that you are purchasing for Holly's Elaina fundraiser or Holly won't get credit for the purchase.
Check out Sarah's Treasure Box Etsy shop here to see what you want but don't buy until the 6th.
You do have to register to use Etsy but it is super easy and painless! Just pick a username, email account and password and voila! You pay online and it's done in a few clicks of the mouse!



To be entered in Holly's Giveaway....simply leave her a comment for EACH time you share about her Elaina Fundraiser on July 6th. (so a comment if you blog, a comment if you FB it and a comment if you Tweet it) Make sure you leave her your email address if you win. At the end of the day on July 6th she will draw a winner from those of you who commented that you shared the love and she will notify you that you have won a free necklace of your choice from Sarah's Treasure Box!




Happy Shopping!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. I am sorry it has taken me this long to stop over here read all this...and say THANK YOU!!!
    Because we are virtually strangers and yet we share something in common...a love for children whose lives have taken some rough turns and who have found themselves in need of FAMILY!
    I praise God for every person I meet who shares my passion for UNorphaning children...and for those who provide temporary shelter and family to children through foster care..AMAZING!!!
    Thank you and may the Lord bless you richly.
