Special Contest – Ends Wednesday Midnight EST

Posted on October 08, 2007 at 6:40 AM

I just LOVE the work that Allison Aruta does! Not only because her designs are so earthy and beautiful, but because so many of her products are associated with great causes. Allison was recently honored by the Long Island Press for her charitable work through her jewelry company. I was lucky enough to be one her guests and left the evening in tears and totally inspired to give back somehow. That’s why I’ve been posting more charity links as of late.When I was in the hospital, Allison made me a bracelet like this that said “Stay Strong”. And when times were tough (and they got tough) I would hold onto the bracelet to calm myself down. I will never forget that.The contest design created by Allison Aruta was inspired by Five for Fighting’s music and band-sponsored charity site. The handcrafted silver piece is engraved with the lyrics “History Starts Now,” from the FFF song “World.”

  57. Wow. That bracelet is gorgeous. I’d like to find something like that for my grandma. My grandma passed away a year ago, as of the 25th, and something with that kind of inspirational message, as “History Starts Now” seems fitting.

  62. Vera – I haven’t been able to view your site for almost over a year now, but I’m back and your site is as fabulous as ever!!

    This bracelet is amazing – you always find such wonderful items!! I work as a Program Coordinator at a ranch for children that are up for adoption or foster care. The abuse that they have endured is mind boggling. The phrase “History starts now” is something I will definitely start using with my kids!! Wow – I love powerful sayings!

    Regardless of whether or not I win this one … I’ll be checking out her site and hopefully be able to get some of the generous people that help my organization out to donate some money to purchase some of these for my kids!!! Thanks again for always sharing things with us that we might never have known existed!!!

    peace and love

  105. You know, I just filed the divorce papers yesterday and this bracelet would definitely be a phenom way to start off my new life, on my own as a single parent to 3 kids. A new beginning, a new chapter, a new history. Plus, my birthday is on the 23rd of this month! Please, pick me!!!

  112. it is up to the people of our generation, the 20 year olds and yes even the children to change the world. We need to love one another and not focus on power or money….all we need is love.

  120. This is lovely! Considering I have been in a legal battle because a laser machine melted most of the fat cells on my face, I say history does start now.
