Hey, I’m Tawny!

Hey, I’m Tawny!

I'm a free-spirited, kind of hippie, other-culture-loving, Vespa-obsessed mid-twenties girl with a passion for ending global poverty, abolishing sex trafficking, and keeping mamas with their babies. My husband and I strive to advocate for & pursue a slower, more ethical lifestyle, so I created this blog as a place for others who are passionate about world change to connect with Fair Trade artisan women (and men) around the world & help them support their families.

“We are kindred spirits… and now we are friends.”

Happy Thanksgiving ! I'm so very grateful for you Happy Thanksgiving ! I'm so very grateful for you & hope you have a beautiful day with your family & friends! How do you spend your Thanksgiving?? Yesterday, my husband and I flew up from our home in Florida to be with family in Upstate NY and Pennsylvania for the first time in many years. It's safe to say that yes, we are FREEZING up here, but thankful to have the chance to sit at the table with family members that we haven't seen in a while & enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together. <3 When the desserts come out, the men will turn the football games on, and the ladies will look at all the Black Friday deals! I have some to share... ;) Thank YOU for helping to create a better quality of life by empowering women in vulnerable settings to create a better quality of life for themselves, their children & their communities. YOU make a real difference for over 17,500 artisans when you choose to purchase, party, pop-up, & partner with Trades of Hope. Lives couldn’t be changed without YOU! Okay, I'm off to help with the cooking & get ready for our gathering! Sharing Hope, Tawny & the TOH Artisan Community TOH | Beauty Changes Lives! https://linktr.ee/tawny.austin

How can you get this gorgeous, handmade scarf for How can you get this gorgeous, handmade scarf for under $10? Well, I *may* have worked some magic in my shop! ✨🪄 😘 In India, millennial artisans are reviving centuries-old techniques and traditions to bring us pieces like the Rita Scarf. In a small village in India, Artisans continue to pass down the ancient art of block printing to the next generation. Kalawati takes pride in preserving the traditions of her ancestors. While poverty and modernization challenge many traditional Artisans in India, she is able to earn fair wages while continuing to practice ancient block printing methods. Every handcrafted Rita Scarf provides her with opportunities to invest in her family’s health, education, and dream of owning a home. As Kalawati teaches her skills to younger Artisans, together they can preserve their village’s Artisan traditions while providing sustainable futures for the next generation. The lightweight Rita Scarf is the perfect extra “indoor” layer for your late fall/winter wardrobe and it’s in our Bright Friday Sale now and going fast! You can get one for $7.99, friends!! 😱 Link in my bio!
Are we the only ones whose cat has a favorite spot Are we the only ones whose cat has a favorite spot? 🐱 Our cat happens to love sleeping on our Anu Throw Blanket when we bring it out for our Fall/Christmas decor. 🎄 She looks so cozy & cute when she's all curled up in front of the Christmas Tree. ☺️ The Anu Throw is created by Ritu in India. Like many girls in India, Ritu married young and immediately took on the role of homemaker. As her family grew, her husband found it difficult to provide for Ritu and their three children. Basic necessities were slowly slipping out of their family’s reach. So Ritu became an Artisan for a local trader, but he exploited her. He paid her extremely meager and late wages, until Ritu could no longer afford the fees to send her children to school. Now, as a part of this fair-trade Artisan community, Ritu feels that her future is secure. She earns enough income to send her children back to school and is confident they will have the tools they need to succeed! Who on your list would love the warm tones of the Anu Blanket? Get it for $12 OFF in my Trades of Hope shop! Link in my bio. ☺️ #fairtradefreespirit #fairtrade #ethicallymade #shopforacause #intentionalliving #fairtradecertified #impacttheworld #sustainablefashion #ecofashion #ecofashionista #fairtradefashion #thecreativegrid #empowerwomen #ethicalfashionblogger #ethicalfashion #enditmovement #humantrafficking #slowfashion #fairfashion #tohstyle #tradesofhope #blackfriday #catsofinstagram #fairtradehome #ethicalhome #homedecor #christmasdecor #aestheticdecor #cozyhome #fairtradedecor
