Adopt a Native Elder

I promise to be back next week with your regular Lady Blaga style pics. Getting through having covid has been quite a to do, and this style post is way more important than my usual shtick:). I recently found this incredible organization on Instagram, Adopt a Native Elder. I wish I needed a rug right now! This site features a variety of beautifully handmade and handwoven items from Native American elders. Using their time honored weaving and jewelry making techniques, these elders create stunning, one of a kind creations. Rugs, dolls, baskets, and jewelry drip with tradition, history, and authenticity. The best part? No middle man. All profits and proceeds go directly to the elders. Any donations (I signed up for a monthly donation) go to feeding the elders and providing them with firewood. It breaks my heart and angers me that Native Americans, especially their precious elders, live in such poverty, but that’s for a different conversation. We can help serve this community by purchasing their gorgeous goods and/or donating to the organization. I’m definitely going to buy a piece of jewelry; I’m super feeling turquoise and hammered silver for the spring and summer. It’s pretty, earthy, sexy, and real; all qualities I love when creating any look.
True beauty includes honoring our ancestors. These elders deserve our respect, acknowledgment, and support. They were here first. When we expand our giving beyond our own circles, we embrace the natural ways of openness and connection. This, dear Friends, is a time for growth and reaching out to one another. May we appreciate what we all have to offer.
