After a much needed hiatus, Haberdashery is up and running again with lots of great upcoming trunk shows/sample sales and DIY tutorials for you via the haberdashery blog, website (www.habsav.com), facebook (Haberdashery Eco Apparel), instagram (haberdasheryeco) and more!!!!!
In the spirit of renewal, I will be in attendance for The Taste of Art Fundraiser tonight beginning at 6 PM at Leocis Trattoria in Savannah GA, and I think that you should too!!! Tickets are only $45 and it goes to a great cause that any true eco-fashionista should get behind!!
Here is the link to the event......
The non-profit
organization DREAM Project Foundation looks to extinguish human
trafficking through community development and aid worldwide. My pal Erin Wessling, who is also the brains behind the benefist, volunteered with
the organization at one of their project bases on the Myanmar/Thailand border
in Sangklaburri, Thailand. In The DREAM House there currently houses over 50
stateless children aging from 5-17, who are without a country or family to
support them. Because they come for hillside tribes in the area, they are not
recognized by either country, meaning they have no identity and no rights
making them highly, highly susceptible to human trafficking.
They are threatened daily with abduction and being sold into slave labor.
The stories they told of their experiences are hard to comprehend
especially considering their age. These are bright and talented young people, and
I know with just a little help, they can achieve the things we have all been
blessed with.
The Taste of Art event is an attempt to gain
exposure and funding for their goals, and solidify grants to aid projects
worldwide. In Thailand, land has been purchased for
development of a new DREAM House facility, as well as for farming the land
surrounding it. We hope that when the community realizes that these
people can produce and earn a living from the land, the public will cease
lending a hand to human trafficking for money, thus eradicating the need for it
in the area.
Please come out to The Taste of Art tonight and show your support/ get a taste of great food, wine and art in the process!!!!
