Designing Jewelry Leads to Helping Widows in India

Susan McVicker and Katie Gilliam describe their chance meeting as a God thing.  With a mother-daughter age difference, they both marvel at the timing of their worlds coming together and the adventure that unfolded.  Susan says she “couldn’t possibly have imagined that her art would someday help women on the other side of the world.”  Four years ago Susan came across a dilapidated shoe box filled with her late grandfather’s

The Green Bag Ladies

Around the world, we discard one million plastic bags every single minute.  We use, on the average,  a bag for 25 minutes, and it takes 100-500 years for the bag to decompose.   Our plastic trash, disposed of on land, eventually flows from streams to rivers to the oceans.   An ocean gyre is a system of ocean and wind  currents, swirling like a whirlpool.  The trash is ultimately drawn into

Lynn Lesher – Sewing For The Stars

Give Lynn Lesher a challenge and she’s happy.  Problems delight her and routines bore her to tears.  She describes herself as “a domestic AND an intellect.”  She has figured out a way to employ both tendencies while working alongside some of Nashville’s biggest country music stars. Twenty years ago, Lynn decided she was tired of offices and the corporate world.  “I literally just quit one day,” she says, sounding like

Fortune Cookie Factory-Chinatown, San Francisco

I hesitate, wondering if I am truly headed in the right direction.  Following my instructions, I turn down a deserted alley, made more gloomy and lonely by the heavy San Francisco rain and gray January morning.  The alley consists of back doors and fire escapes and garbage dumpsters and Chinese signs.  I come upon one tiny English sign and smile – I am in the right place.  The Golden Gate
