Behold Cinnamon's latest creation:

This purse isn't just cute, isn't just functional, but gosh darnit, it helps people!

50% (!) of the purchase price will be donated to CARE:

CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.

It's only $50 people and I'm sure is in limited supply. And I'll be good (as my checkbook says I should) and let you all have a crack at it. I've seen it in person, but didn't try it on. If I did, I would have gone home with it. But it looks like the straps are long enough for you to have a nice sized purse/tote and not worry about it falling off your shoulders or getting in your way. That's my #1 beef with shorter purse straps...the falling off.

So what are you waiting for?
