Who says that fashion can't be fun? I'm very excited to announce our new line of handcrafted earrings, available in a variety of funky animal shapes. These hand painted clay earrings are so cute they can't help but put a smile on your face!

Each design is unique and adorable in its own way, but I'm particularly captivated by the Tiny Toucans. Colourful and fun, they make me think of Southern sun and palm trees. Ahhh...I could definitely go for a little beach vacation right about now!


Don't forget to also check out the Smiling Parrots, Swimming Fish, Frog Princes, Little Piggies, Adorable Armadillos, as well as the Lovely Ladybugs. Any of these earrings would make a great addition to your spring wardrobe or work very nicely as a little present for one of your gal pals!

If you're like me then you've got a ton of jewelry lying around that is forever disorganized. Earrings in particular can be hard to keep track of, but there is hope!

Yesterday I decided to take charge of the situation and put some order to my clump of 'jewels'. My solution? An upcycled earring holder made from an old picture frame and a worn out pair of nylons. All I did was cover the glass section of the frame with the nylon (making sure it was pulled tight) before I secured it into the frame.

Voila! An easy and cheap solution to all those tangled earrings. 


P.S. The red pair in the top left corner is available for purchase here.

With Valentine's Day just over a month away I thought it would be a nice idea to host a little giveaway to thank you all for your continued support for StylishOrganicFamilyLiving.com.

Jewelry has always been a popular gift choice among Valentine sweethearts so that's exactly what we're going with! We're giving away one pair of handcrafted earrings from Revy made from refinished coconut in Valentine's Day pink (colour may vary slightly from the photo below). Win them for yourself or share the love with that special someone.


These earrings are extra sweet because they were handmade by the fair trade Women's Coop of Jovenes Esperanza, which translates to 'young hope' in English. The artisans in this El Salvadoran coop reside around the capital city of San Salvador and work together to create jewelry from natural and recycled items. The income they generate can make a big difference in their lives and can serve towards a better future for their children.

Revy is an American company that works with several El Salvadoran coops like Jovenes Esperanza to develop jewelry which appeals to U.S. and Canadian markets. At StylishOrganicFamilyLiving.com we're very proud to be a distributor of these beautiful designs!

For a chance to win these stylish earrings please use the Rafflecopter widget below. The giveaway will end on Thursday, January 24, 2013 and the winner will be chosen at random through Rafflecopter. He or she will be announced here and will also be contacted through email within 48 hours of the contest closing. Please note that prize winnings can only be mailed within Canada and the U.S. mainland. Good luck!

We recently added several new colourful styles of earrings to our collection of handmade jewelry that I'm very excited about!  All of the designs featured below are made from natural materials, such as coconut shell and calabash gourd, so they are lightweight and easy to wear.

We purchase all of our jewelry from a great company called Revy Fair Trade. Revy works with artisan coops in El Salvador to produce all sorts of unique jewelry designs and accessories for women, all of which are handmade in fair trade facilities.  Their products are also eco-friendly, so when you purchase these items you're not only doing something good for the environment you're also doing something good for the people of El Salvador.

If you're starting to think about stocking stuffers, a pair of these earrings are a great choice.  They also make fun birthday presents or thank you gifts.

Without further ado, here are some of the latest styles that we've added to our stylish collection:

Pink Coco Gem Earrings
Green Coco Gem Earrings
Polished Calabash Earrings
