My blogger friend Rachel has asked us (okay, bribed us with prizes) to post a link to her etsy store where she sells some of the cutest things with a "Russia" theme. If you look to the left side of my blog, you'll see the pictures of some of her things, click on that and it will take you to her etsy store. All of them are handmade by her and her sisters, it's a real family affair! The proceeds from her store go to fund a project for an orphanage in St. Petersburg, Russia. At Christmas time, another blogger friend, Kate, buys presents with the money Rachel makes from her store, and delivers them to the children in this orphanage. If you have never been to a Russian orphanage, you will never understand the dire conditions these children live in; if you have been, then you will totally understand. These children have nothing to call their own, they share everything; so to give them simple things every child should have, is a luxury to them. Rachel's own daughter was adopted from St. Petersburg, Russia, if you skip over to her blog, you'll find tons of gorgeous pictures of her Katya along with her other beautiful children.
So take a moment to look around her simple wishes store and just to let you know... if you were wondering; I've got the ceramic mugs with the cyrillic writing on my Christmas wish list!

Jane, Thanks for posting about this! I think I better get to work on some more mugs! :)
Wow! You've had Caroline and Chase for almost 1 year! That is great! I hope you all are staying cool down there in Texas! I bet your kids love being in the pool all summer!
