In this month’s box there were two things and a wonderful quote like before. The quote this month is from Ralph Waldo Emerson, who I love. “For each new morning with its light, For Rest and shelter of the night, For health and food, for love and friends, For everything Thy goodness sends.” 
One of the items this month is from Greenola. I received earrings, which are handmade from recycled bottles. They are just lovely, with beautiful shades of yellow and purple. They were made from an artist, Karina, who was born and raised in Cambodia. She collects the bottles from her neighborhood and local businesses that would otherwise throw them away. It really is a wonderfully responsible way to help this artist rise above poverty. 
Also in the box was a gratitude candle. As soon as I saw that I was so excited. We are huge believers in having an attitude of gratitude. It is from Maroma in India. In the Auroville community, Maroma gives sustainable work to many women from surrounding villages. Auroville is a wonderful sustainable community in which most of the residents work in organic farming, renewable energy, handcrafts, and small eco-friendly industries. The candle is beautiful and smells lovely. It has orange, grapefruit and lemon essential oils. I really love that all of the items are handcrafted one of a kind treasures, that I know were ethically sourced.

That candle sounds like it smells lovely!
