Emily's Pick of the Day - Handmade Silk Flowers

Whiteaisle_emily_2 These flowers are handmade by women in   Phnom Penh, Cambodia. 100% of the money made goes to support these women, all of whom are recovering victims of sex
trafficking, which runs rampant throughout Cambodia. The fabric used is local hand-loomed Khmer (Cambodian) silk. Each flower petal is cut and sewn together, then wrapped with other individual petals to create a full flower. You can find
these on the husband and wife run site The White Aisle.

I love what these flowers represent; that it is possible to find beauty in tragedy, and that people can help each other so much if we just set our minds to do so.
