Hi SYL readers!!! I’m Ashley Stinson, a Southern California mama of two littles, and I have been a Jennifer/SYL fan for years!!!
I am beyond excited to be over here with you guys today to introduce you to a company dear to my heart called Noonday Collection. Noonday Collection features gorgeous and unique accessories, each handmade by an artisan from the most vulnerable communities around the globe. Offered a fair trade wage for their amazing talent and skill, the dignified jobs offered to these beautiful women through Noonday are creating pathways out of poverty for artisans that have experienced great hardship.
I became an Ambassador for Noonday this year to raise funding for the adoption of our son or daughter from Ethiopia. Noonday has a big heart for adoption–the founder, Jessica, started Noonday as a way to fundraise for the adoption of her own son from Rwanda. What started as something small, just Jessica, has grown to include 90 Ambassadors just like me, advocating for our artisans, telling their stories, and styling women with accessories that are changing lives.
The collection features jewelry, scarves, bags, and even home goods and gifts from Ethiopia, Uganda, India, Peru, Guatemala, Madagascar, Ecuador, South Africa, and even refugee groups here in the US.
I hope you’ll head over and browse the online catalog… so many beautiful pieces not only for you, but for all of the ladies on your Christmas list this year.
Not only are you supporting job creation in high risk communities, but 20% of every purchase through ashleystinson.noondaycollection.com will go to support our adoption fund!
Thank you Jennifer for having me today and I look forward to see you all sporting some Noonday and sharing the stories of these women with your friends!

Ashley Stinson
