I’m so excited about today’s post! One, I get to show you a little glimpse of heaven on earth (aka Zion National Park – more photos next week!), and two, I get to share with you a bit about a very special accessories store that has a beautiful heart, and mission to go with it. Meet Jen, founder of Paisley + Sparrow, and learn about the vision behind her “pretties with a purpose.”

***

[My] dream was to create a store with products that are Making A Difference in the world. Items that are beautiful and high in quality. Accessories that make you feel pretty from the inside, out.

The most beautiful thing about Paisley + Sparrow products is the story behind them. A story that is filled with hope, love and redemption, products that are making a tangible difference in the world.We want this story to be shared. We want to help shape the way people shop. We want to create opportunity for more women to join us on this adventure. We want you to be confident that with each purchase you make, you are giving a woman in Ethiopia a way to support her family, a marginalized woman in India a hopeful future, a woman recovering from addiction that needs a second-chance,a child in Haiti a bar of soap to prevent a disease, and the opportunity to change a life by your generosity. Thank you for supporting products that are pretty with a purpose.

Matthew 10:29-31 “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

Inspiring, pure, and beautiful, right? Much like the scenery at Zion – it was fitting to shoot Jen’s pretties there. It really might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. Photos absolutely do not do this place justice….

I’m pretty much in love with those beaded hoop earrings and that druzy necklace (I paired the necklace with literally everything I wore on my trip home!), but there are many, many more lovely jewelry pieces, bags, scarves, and even items for your home that you can purchase via Paisley + Sparrow. Each has a story and a beautiful purpose, making shopping even more rewarding. And a cherry on top is that you get 20% off your purchase with code: “SMPfriends” just for being one of our wonderful followers. Perfect place for some Mother’s Day shopping, I say!

Have a happy, purposeful day, Lovelies!
