New Pictures and Big Decision

Hello!  Anybody out there???  I'm rethinking my desire to keep this blog...since it's not really attracting any readers.  I don't really update it often, and I don't really spread the word about it much either.  But never the less, I feel there's no sense in simply re-posting here what I've already posted on my facebook page or on Etsy.  (Both of which I have updated recently. www.facebook.com/createpeacehemp and www.etsy.com/createpeacehemp)  I have the link to this blog on my business cards so the new plan I believe will be to eliminate blogger from my list of sites just as soon as i run out of business cards and get new ones.  In the mean time, please enjoy these pictures and if there really is anybody out there reading, let me know so that I might rethink this decision.  Thanks!  And as always, peace!

Red Hue

Silvia at Red Hue

Thought you might like to meet one more important person to my business.  Meet Silvia.  She is the owner and designer of a little shop called Red Hue Boutique.  Her shop sells independent and alternative clothing, as well as handmade items.  One of the things I admire most about her clothing line is it's sweatshop free!  The Red Hue clothing line is hand assembled in an atelier style workshop in El Salvador.

I heard about Red Hue through my friend Toni, who happened to take the picture you see above!  She was helping me out with ideas of how to expand my craft business.  Long story short, I am now proud to say that you can purchase my handmade hemp jewelry at TWO local retail shops: The Bamboo Eater and now, Red Hue Boutique!

Also, hint hint for University of Maryland College Park students!  Red Hue will give 10% off when you show your student ID!

Here I am!

Peace and well wishes from Danielle!

About a year ago, I was lounging in my livingroom when my then roommate Heather walked into to the room with a big bag from JoAnn Fabrics.  'Ooooo!' I thought, 'I love arts and crafts!'  Of course, my mind jumped immedietly from wanting to know what she was making, to me needing something to occupy my hands as well.  Turns out she had bought some hemp cord and beads to make hippy jewelry.  Heather was kind enough to measure out some hemp for me to get started.  Instantly I had flashbacks to summer camp, making friendship braclets at the arts and crafts station in the small pavilion next to the lake. Ahh, good memories!  By the end of the night, I had made a braclet for myself, a necklace for my boyfriend, and a dog collar for my puppy.

Long story short, I am proudly in the beginning stages of creating my very own business!  Woo hoo! I call it "Create Peace: Handmade Creations in Support of Peace."  I design hemp jewelry and I spread the word of peace.  I hope you will join me in being kind to your neighbor and to mother earth through eco-friendly hemp.
