International Princess™ Project

I am so excited to share that we are in the process of partnering with this incredible project!

In February of 2005, International Princess™ Project founder Shannon Keith went on a trip to India that opened her eyes to the devastation of lives happening on the streets and in the brothels. After visiting a red-light district, she could not forget what she saw - young girls sold by their families, orphans picked up off the street by pimps, even young mothers just trying to feed their children. Many were held against their will. Others were trapped by economics. Those who escaped the brothels often returned just to survive. 


Compelled by the magnitude of this reality, Shannon and her team of volunteers founded International Princess™ Project to advocate for these women, to give them opportunities to restore their broken lives and empower them to live in freedom. The traditional Indian Sari, worn in even the darkest places in India, became the inspiration for International Princess™ Project. The sari's bright colors and beautiful designs are fit for princesses.

Women who leave the brothels need occupational training and job opportunities to help them find dignity, self-worth and hope for a future outside of the red light districts. When women become a part of an International Princess Project sewing center, they take the first step toward supporting themselves in a dignified way. 


PUNJAMMIES™, pajamas made from these beautiful fabrics of India, by women employed at the sewing centers, are exported to the U.S and sold as a premium-brand of sleepwear. Proceeds from the sale of Punjammies help to pay wages, provide living expenses, create savings accounts and provide holistic support and restoration for the ladies in the PUNJAMMIE™ program. International Princess™ Project is committed to creating self-sustaining enterprises in India that provide opportunities for women formally enslaved in prostitution a place to heal from the past and find hope for the future.

I feel so blessed to be able to support this project & to become part of the Punjammie Story!

Introducing Cambodia Knits

If you are searching for that perfect gift for your little ones, the search may be over! I gave a set of these to my Grandkids for Christmas & they were quite a hit! Knit in Cambodia, these finger puppets are the cutest things I have seen :). And the story behind them makes them even better...

Cambodia Knits is a social enterprise working with marginalized communities near Phnom Penh. Their goal is to produce beautiful, high quality and unique hand knit products while providing fair and flexible employment opportunities. And they are putting their profits back into the communities because they believe that putting people ahead of profit results in a great product!

Currently we are only carrying their finger puppets, but it won't be long before we add the cutest assortment of "monsters" you have ever seen!

You can visit their website to view photos of all their products & to learn more about Cambodia Knits & the difference they are making in Cambodia. We are proud to partner with them & to be able to support the work they are doing :)
