What is Menu for Hope if you wondered?
It brings bloggers the world over who use their combined power to raise funds for the UN World Food Programme.
I mentioned France yesterday so let me jump to the other side of the country where Matt Bites who coordinates Menu for Hope 5 for the West Coast offers what he calls for a lack of a better description, 2 Artisan Grab Bags by people I never heard of before, namely 1000 Markets.
What they stand for? 1000 Markets describes itself as a place where "small, independent, artisan businesses built by people who love their craft create marketplace communities both large and small, broad and narrow. Some have themes, like food, crafts, or art. Others cultivate a sense of place around a region."
What's in the Bag you might ask?
Grab Bag #2 is no less than:
Little Odd Me: A certificate for an 8×10 print
, Artistic Glass Impressions: A Hope Necklace,
Four Tails Lampwork: offered to do a food-related lampwork or will donate a focal pendant or necklace,
Forgotten Beauty: A photograph,
Besem Natural Scents: A gift set,
