Delicate jewelry and DIY gifts.
Dear Reader,
Happy Thanksgiving. And Happy 4th Day of Giftmas! While youโre ignoring all those Black Friday pleas to leverage yourself in order to purchase something you donโt even really want except that itโs 60% off, consider instead a purchase that gives twice!
Bean and Bear, founded by a woman in Maryland, offers nature-inspired jewelry so you or your hiking pals can wear your walk in the woods wherever you go. Take your pick from necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings made from recycled sterling silver, copper, and ethically sourced stones. Whatโs more, as a 1% for the Planet member, she gives 1% of her profits to environmental charities. (Incidentally, Bluedot does the same!)
Dot is eyeing a birdsโ nest necklace, delicate and lovely and a symbol of hope, with tiny eggs made from the excess sterling silver in Bean and Bearโs shop. (You can even customize your necklace to reflect the size of your brood! Do you have an empty nest like Dot currently does? Or would you like one, two, or three eggs inside? Itโs up to you!) Dotโs two daughters can expect something from Bean and Bear in their stockings this year. Perhaps the owl necklace? The beautiful bracelets? Have fun selecting while you digest your Thanksgiving dinner. And please know, as Dot tucks into Thanksgiving dinner, that among my many blessings will be you, my dear readers, and the wonderful notes and questions you send my way.
Gratefully,
Dot
