Check out these Awesome Purses

I found out about this fantastic group from another blog that I read. If you're looking for a great gift for a special woman in your life head on over and buy them one of these fantastic purses. This opportunity is providing for women in Haiti by teaching them a skill. A SKILL!! You can't beat that. Plus, it recycles fabric for another purpose (which you know I love). So seriously, check this out, by some purses and support an amazing cause.
From their website:
Heartline Haiti is a mission that runs a Sewing Program to provide women a means to support themselves. These purses have been handmade by women in the program located in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. They are made by hand of recycled fabric and burlap sugar sacks. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere, and poverty, famine, disease, and hurricanes have made it very difficult for the people there. This is a great opportunity to buy a cute, handmade bag that will help support a local woman living in Haiti. This is a real way to bring change to the nation of Haiti; one woman and one bag at a time. You are taking a personal interest in her and her life. It's working too. These ladies are buying their own sewing machines, paying for their children to go to school and buying stoves with money still in their business accounts.
