Shopping for a Cause

When shopping, and in life, I'm always looking for something meaningful.  Not only do I love quality items handmade by artisans, but what I love even more, is purchasing those items from amazing companies that are making a difference in the world.  This week’s shopping wishlist is comprised of items from companies that have inspiring causes and charities built right into their business model.  Purchase a meaningful item, support a worthy cause.  How beautiful!
