Angela & Christeline
Angela and Christeline are teen sisters. We got to know them about a year after we opened the shop when we found out, through a friend, that the girls weren't able to go to school because the Mom couldn't afford uniforms. So Bob, bless his heart, jumped in the car, drove to their home and picked up the girls (and their brothers) and took them shopping for school supplies and uniforms. They were so happy to be able to go to school.
We are grateful to the people who send us money so we can help local families. It makes such a difference in their lives! Since that time, their mom had her 8th (and last) baby. Times are very tough for them, especially with no Dad and no source of income beyond the occasional help from neighbours.
In March Bob came home with 2 large boxes of jewelry supplies that he bought from a lady who was moving back to the States. My first thought was 'What are we going to do with this?" His response; “Teach the local girls to make jewelry.” So that is what we did! A number of girls, including Angela and Christeline, now come over to the house on Saturdays to make jewelry. It is a good break for them to come over (we listen to Spanish worship music and of course, I make them a nice big lunch!) They have been very busy creating and constructing earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Just recently the family were forced out of their little house in Flowers Bay because they weren't able to keep up with the rent. Now they have to live in French Harbour up-island and the girls are bussed to school. But through all their trials they are always smiling and happy when we see them. We are proud of them for continuing in school and for their desire to help the family. They take great pride in their work and I know it has been very affirming for them.

I think these are perhaps my favorite of the briolette earrings. Angela made these and I think the use of the natural pearl and the copper is so beautiful!

I love these! (but hey i am an island girl!)
The cool thing about this design is that usually toe rings close at the back and that can cause pinching but with these there is no pinching. You could wear this even with tennis shoes and not feel it.
OH YEAH! Summer is coming... make a 'toe statement!'
