Kenya, Caviar and Crawford …. More Fabulous Finds!

Hi again, it’s Jan … and I’ve been shopping!

First stop: Darien Sport Shop. Here is a great chance to wear something really beautiful and do something really good. The daughter of former Darien resident Tess van Munching is selling these gorgeous bracelets made by Samburu women in Kenya.

Each bracelet, made by hand, takes an entire day to make, and proceeds go to support the purchase of school books and desks in Samburu villages.  They cost only $30.00, and you can buy them at The Sport Shop!

Next stop: Niche, in Goodwives Shopping Center. I know that these shell plates and spoons are meant for caviar BUT I think I can find another use or two for them.

The plate is $35.00 and the spoons are $9.00 each. (Now if i could just afford the caviar….!)

Also at NICHE:  add a box of beautiful scented powder to this pretty puff and take yourself back to the Joan Crawford glamour days of the 30’s!  This is such a fun gift idea! The puffs are $25.
