fancy friday: the giving keys.


i decided to start a weekly "fancy friday". this means: i'll be writing in on anything that tickles my fancy for the week! it could be a food, person, fashion, poem, picture, interview, design, company... you get the point!

to start off my "fancy friday" i have decided to let you in on a company that i'm fancy'ing: the giving keys.

(via)

this company is phenomenal. caitlin crosby is the owner, along with two homeless people she met in LA. she heard their story and wanted to give them a chance to get off the streets. so they developed a company that could do just that. every key you buy (that the homeless she employs make), is meant to be given away to someone who needs it. the concept: pay it forward.

they have a blog that has stories of the people who received/gave keys. i read the stories, sobbing, and loving what a simple concept, a key necklace with an encouraging word, does to people!

they make great presents (hint hint)! and the proceeds go fully to getting people off the streets. it's a beautiful thing.

fancy my friday and order yourself one. and another one for me!

xoxo
