I am positivley delighted to offer you my first blog giveaway of 2012! Lisa recently alerted me to the amazing work and ministry of the Noonday Collection and I quickly became a fan. Noonday is a fair trade company that sells jewelry, home decor, handbags and accessories made with love by skilled artisans who are learning a trade which is giving them they key to a better future. Lisa shared the history and heart of Noonday with me and I was swept away.
It began when the founder of the company was in Rwanda meeting a little boy she wanted to adopt. She was given items made by Ugandan artisans who wanted her to use the profits towards her adoption, and to build a market for their products.
That was the mustard seed that has since sprouted into a company that continues to blossom and bless others! Fundraisers are available with Noonday products for adoptive couples, and proceeds go to bringing children HOME to their forever families. I only wish I would’ve known about this during our adoption journey. What a wonderful way to bless everyone involved.
The products are fantastic and I am grateful to extend to one blog reader a $50 gift certificate!! Simply leave a comment (below) with your e-mail address and you will automatically be entered into the contest. Deadline for entering is Tuesday, January 10. The winner will be notified through their registered email address. Be sure to check back in case the email didn’t get through your spam filter.
In the meanwhile, check out some of the beautiful, hand-crafted items available in the Noonday Collection…
Gorgeous, and for a good cause.

I think this is an amazing foundation. Everyone in my Husbands family is adopted and I really hope we are able to do so as well. Will have to remember them when the time comes if God chooses to Bless us in that way!

Shopping Noonday is an awesome way to make a little dent in the inequalities in the world. Lisa is the perfect person to rep this line. [email protected]

GREAT idea! What a blessing to the families of the artisans AND the adoptive families. It would be fun to do a "pay it forward" project with this company, purchasing a giftcard for someone else after receiving and using one. So many cute items and a wonderful cause! Thanks for introducing me to this! 🙂

Fair trade is fantastic!! It is such a win-win for everyone involved. Thanks for this wonderful offer, Noonday! And thanks for making a difference in the world … both in the artists' lives, the adoptive children/families, and those of us that wear/use the items and believe in the cause.
