I’m very excited about the new contemporary jewelry line in development with my very close friend Cindy, who is my Official Partner in All Things Sparkly.

The new mixed media jewelry line features natural metals like copper and fine silver, handmade fused glass, semi precious stones, copper PMC and even paper! It’s shaping up to be pretty awesome.

Proceeds will benefit CTC International, a non-profit organization that works tirelessly to bring hope and a future to the children of Maai Mahui, Kenya, who have been orphaned by the terrible AIDS epidemic in Africa.

Cindy’s son, Zane Wilemon, is the heart and soul of this wonderful organization and splits his time between fund raising in the US and working directly with the kids in Maai Mahui. (He’s there right now actually..) The focus of CTC is “to create economic, education, community, environment and health initiatives which brings empowerment and therefore transformation.”

Our new CTC line is just getting started but soon you’ll see pieces show up in my Etsy store. Stay tuned but feel free to take a little peek at what we have so far.
