Start your circle of giving

As an avid Project Runway fan, I particularly love the challenges where they create beautiful couture garments from everyday found materials. From the aisles of a grocery store or their own apartment, I'm in awe of what they create from everything from trash bags and throw rugs. For the same reason, I adore these leaf shaped bowls made from recycled magazines.

But the story doesn't end there, not by a long shot. These beautiful pieces of art are brought to you by Mountain Avenue in support of a program which helps street children in Vietnam. In fact, this unique online shop purchases their products from fair trade organizations and individuals, ships with minimal packaging and allows you to select a non-profit partner to receive a large portion of your purchase price. They call this their "circle of giving" and I can't think of a better description. So buy these beautiful recycled bowls and let your circle of giving begin.
