I won't be at the Fremont Sunday Market this week. Instead I'll be at the Seattle Green Fest at the Convention Center sponsored by Co-op America and Global Exchange. Come visit me at the Fair Trade Sports booth where I'll be hanging out with founder Scott James. Scott says he'll be speaking a couple of times during the conference including:

Saturday, April 12, 1PM: Sweat-Free Seattle Campaign Join myself and Global Exchange’s Valerie Orth and Elizabeth Swager to discuss how your city or town can adopt laws that prohibit local institutions from purchasing goods made in sweatshops. Together, we can create a substantial market for goods made by workers who get paid a living wage, are treated with dignity and respect, and have a voice on the job.

Saturday, April 12, 5PM: Eco-Certified Fair Trade Sports Come hear how we can kick sweatshops off the playing fields of our schools and parks with eco-certified Fair Trade sports balls and uniforms.

Sunday, April 13, 2PM: Fully Committed Fair Trade Businesses What makes a business Fair Trade? Join me to hear how the Fair Trade Federation ensures local business practices have a positive impact on producers a world away.

Green Fest shows off the latest in sweatshop-free clothing, organic beer and wine, recycled products, Fair Trade, vegetarian cuisine, renewable energy and more. It will be a weekend full of speakers, 300 business exhibitors, and even a clothing swap! With admission to Green Festival you will also be offered a FREE Co-op America membership.

New Jewelry, New Look - Fremont Sunday Market March 16

2008-03-14T08:06:00.000-07:00

Come visit Orange Box at the Fremont Sunday Market this week from 10 am to 4 pm. I have loads of new jewelry to celebrate spring including some new fine silver pieces. Fine silver is 99.9% silver that does not contain any other trace metals. It doesn't tarnish as easily as sterling silver and is slightly softer. Most commercially available silver is .925 sterling silver which is an alloy. This means it typically has a fine silver content of 92.5% and a copper content of 7.5%. While the copper adds strength to the jewelry it is also what causes sterling silver to tarnish more quickly and easily.

Orange Box now available in Denver via Seeds of Exchange

2007-02-05T22:19:00.000-08:00

Seeds of Exchange is the awesome brain-child of Sarah Davison-Tracy, a former Seattlite who now lives in Denver. The vision of Seeds of Exchange is to create partnerships between women of different cultures & provide the opportunity to purchase goods that help to foster women's business endeavors in the developing world. After visiting a rockin' SOE party in Poulsbo a couple of weeks ago and a conversation with the founder herself, SOE in Denver will carry Orange Box - the next party is on February 10. Talk about taking it back to the roots of fair trade, Sarah is hooked up with several artisans in India who make beautiful products to support their families. At the SOE party in Poulsbo, I bought a bunch of cards made by Malika and Meena. Check out pictures and more about SOE at http://seedsofexchange.spaces.live.comMeena lives in the North Indian Himalayas. Her cards feature beautiful pressed flowers in different arrangements. During the Poulsbo SOE party, I was talking with a woman who visited Meena at her home and she told me that Meena uses her daughters old school books and presses flowers her husband gathers between the pages. All around her house, you can find stacks of books with flowers peeking out. How cool is that?!? (Not to mention resourceful). A big shout out to my fellow female entrepreneurs a couple of states away and around the globe.
