Typically, this space is home to some of our favorite finds from around the web (and sometimes just around the corner). Today, it is dedicated to these and much more. For one day, some of our favorite design sites like AphroChic, Design For Mankind, Styleture, and Urban Casita, are committing a blog post to a Bloggers Day of Action for Haiti. As AphroChic founder Jeanine Hayes writes in her post this morning, “Today we use our blogs not just to discuss design and fashion, but to identify ways to help with the relief effort in a country that has been devastated by disaster.”
I urge you to take a look at each of these beautiful sites (and to keep going back—I promise you will be inspired to do so!)
If you are yourself a blogger and would like to participate, please email Jeanine at jeanine@aphrochicshop.com. If you are not a blogger but would still like to become involved, she is hosting a charity auction to help raise funds for relief efforts in Haiti. Items from some of her favorite designers (and ours!) will be up for grabs!
A final note: if an auction isn’t your style, donations of any denomination can be made to The Red Cross, UNICEF, and Yele Haiti. Just click on the corresponding links.
The auction is a terrific idea. If you are looking for items to auction I would be pleased to contribute some home decorating pillows, and or throws, or even gift certificates to the auction. Please feel free to check out my online store PillowThrowDecor at Etsy and let me know how I can help. Good for all of you taking action to help the people in Haiti! Cheers Christine
