For decades, Northern Uganda has been plagued with civil wars, disease and severe poverty.

Thousands of destitute women and children are displaced without home or land.

Faced with food, shelter, school fees, and medical bills, these women are in dire straits; fighting every day simply for the survival of their families.

To help them in their fight, Empowerment Project: The Women and Children of Kaberamaido in partnership with Trivani Foundation, are matching the strength and ingenuity of mothers and widows by selling "paper bead" necklaces made by the women themselves.

Each necklace is made from magazine pages and demonstrates the creativity, vision, and fortitude the women of Kaberamaido must exercise daily to survive. By purchasing one of these necklaces, not only will you be empowering women to earn an income, but empowering choice. Through economic development, women can reclaim their agency, respect and dignity.

All proceeds of the necklaces and kissing booth will directly support the creation of micro-enterprise, more training opportunities, and microcredit loans enabling women to support themselves and their children.

All vendor spots for our May market have filled up, but don't fret! There are still three more markets scheduled for June, August, and September! If you're interested in becoming a vendor please e-mail us at saltystreetproductions@gmail.com.

file this under: cat

i know cats love boxes, but ronnie loves to file herself away. last night i bought these three drawer organizer things for my bathroom. i set them on my bed and when i came back in my room she had pushed the drawers out just enough to climb inside.







even a few months ago she was doing the same thing, see? climbing into this filing box.

for papa.

Noise, by Pooh.

Oh, the butterflies are flying,
Now the winter days are dying,
And the primroses are trying
To be seen.

And the turtle-doves are cooing,
And the woods are up and doing,
For the violets are blue-ing
In the green.

Oh, the honey-bees are gumming
On their little wings, and humming
That the summer, which is coming
Will be fun.

And the cows are almost cooing,
And the turtle-doves are mooing,
Which is why a Pooh is poohing,
In the sun.

For the spring is really springing;
You can see a skylark singing,
And the blue-bells, which are ringing,
Can be heard.

And the cuckoo isn't cooing,
But he's cucking and he's ooing,
And a Pooh is simply poohing
Like a bird.



from The House at Pooh Corner, by A.A. Milne




when i was little, my dad would read us this book. this poem by pooh always made us laugh and laugh and laugh. and it still makes me laugh. and i can hear my dad reading it. and it makes me happy.

just some things.

i love you spring! you sunburned my left arm, but that is ok. you also gave me a weird tan line on my back, but i can overlook that. i am just happy that the sun is back out and school is almost over!

i get to go to the zoo tomorrow, i will be sure to take a million photos. as usual.

ronnie is so adorable. i want to squeeze her all the time. i don't know how normal it is to be completely obsessed with your cat, and to always be telling your boyfriend to come look at the cute way she is resting on the bed, but i don't care. i love her.











i started harry potter arm. it is beautiful. jake miller at 11th street is doing it. jake fucking ROX. he is in my blog list so go look at his stuff. it is awesome. i will post one picture of it because i feel weird showing it. it is strange having people ask me if they can see my arm and asking why i got a harry potter tattoo and asking what a time turner is. read the books. duh. i cannot wait to add more to it! i love it oh so much.



and if you live in salt lake, and are in town on may 2, then you better be coming to the salty streets flea market at kilby court, or i will be way ticked off. i am going to be selling kick ass cat shirts and shorts and undies. and there are going to be a million other things to look at and snacks to eat and bands to listen to. look at the poster:
