Obsessed ::: Ingie Gift Box

"This isn't your Grandma's box. Or your neighbor's. It's YOURS."

In the sea of box subscriptions, Indie Gift Box is the light guiding the lost! You won't get a bunch of sample sized eye creams in this deliciously curated box. You don't have to subscribe to it either, that's right, you can get it when you want it. As long as you act quickly, you can score $35-$85 worth for only $25! There are a limited quantity of each box because the pieces are created, by hand, and with attention to detail.

Indie Gift Boxes are not the norm, at all. "We tailor them for lovers of handmade goods with discerning taste and independent style." No one else will have what you have because IGB'ers are the hippest! They support independent and small businesses and we think that is pretty incredible. All of us Indie Artists need all the support we can get and we appreciate businesses like Indie Gift Box that build their business on that core foundation.

Creative themes that are matched with hand crafted items? Genius! February's theme was "The Librarian" and included a bookmark, earrings, bracelets, handkerchief for glasses, and an item from a past artist. Here's what it looked like...


So rad, right?! This month's box theme is St. Patrick's Day and they don't have many any left. 

We're beyond thrilled to be part of the April box. We can't reveal anything but it's going to be pretty killer, obviously! What are you waiting for? GO TO INDIE GIFT BOX NOW!!!

Crafters for Courage, A Fundraiser for Courage Worldwide

Instagram Fundraising Auction - Supporting Courage Worldwide

March 17, 2014 12 pm CST to March 18, 2014 12 pm CST

Too many girls are forced into slavery, more specifically sexual slavery, around the world and in growing numbers. Did you know that the average age, globally, a girl enters prostitution is 13 years old? That is the AVERAGE! Girls are becoming younger and younger as the demand grows. This problem is disgusting and we are all responsible for helping stop it. Not only does it need to end, but we must take care of the victims. Courage Worldwide and their Courage House project aims to do just that. They care for girls who are victims of commercial sexual exploitation. 

We are so passionate about supporting the efforts of those fighting to end the oppression, slavery, and exploitation of women and girls. One of our favorite books/documentaries is Half the Sky. It is completely eye opening and celebrates women and individuals that are fighting the fight and supporting the victims. 

Being part of this auction means a lot to us and we hope that you come out and support it by bidding high and on everything you love!

Tanner Munro is making his 3rd trip to Haiti next month as a member of the Christian Friendship Ministries. He is a super dad to his 9 year old son, 6 year old daughter, and amazing husband to his wife of almost 15 years! Tanner is also a personal trainer and all-around awesome dude. The first year he and his wife went with their kids to work at the Christian Friendship Ministries' Orphanage in Haiti. Before they left, they raised funds to take 20 of the kids to see the ocean for the very first time! They were also able to spend time with the children they have been sponsoring. 

Last year, Tanner went back with some small groups led by Ericlee Gilmore of CFM and they made repairs and improvements to the CFM compound. This year, a team of 9 guys will be installing a playground, bathroom, a water tank, and will be performing some major repair work.

They still need a lot to reach their fundraising goal but together, we can make it happen! Please visit the Instagram Auction that his sister in law is hosting on her account and support Tanner, CFM, and the children of Haiti! For more about CFM, visit christianfriendshipministries.org. They also run the Haitian Bead Project, haitianbeads.com.
