2013 Caring Crown: Bluebird of Happiness Felt Crown with removable bluebird - Portion of money goes to GiveWell
I love sharing Etsy finds, especially if part of the proceeds are intended for charity. Scarlett Dalilaha, has created a Bluebird of Happiness Crown. For evert crown sold, she will donate
$7.00 to GiveDirectlythrough GiveWell, an independent, nonprofit charity
evaluator.
This crown is a limited
edition and will only be available in the year 2013. In 2014 another
Caring Crown will debut, along with another charity to which she will
donate. The tips of
the crown and the zigzag trim are silver metallic and make for a
stunning display of sparkle. The bluebird carries under its wing a
silver metallic heart, spreading happiness and love far and wide.
Scarlet mentions on her Etsy page: "GiveDirectly,
the specific charity that will be the recipient of our donations,
distributes cash to poor individuals in Kenya. I was lucky enough to
spend 4 months in Kenya while my dad was on sabbatical there. It is an
amazing country. I am excited to be able to donate to the people of
Kenya. I love that they give the money directly to the people in need,
letting them decide how it is spent. Help us spread happiness far and wide. Purchase our caring crown and we will all soar".
The
crown is a long strip of thick felt that has velcro attached to one end
making it fully adjustable. It will fit just about any size head. It is
approximately 24.5 inches long and 4.5 inches from base to tip of
crown. It is cream colored with silver metallic triangles accentuating
the tips of the crown. It has a silver metallic zigzag running the full
length of the crown. The bluebird has a velcro backing which makes it
detachable so it can be placed anywhere on the crown or removed
altogether.
