Hi, Seven Hopes United friends! I’m Casey, lover of good coffee, world-inspired fashion and the fair trade industry. I recently used Seven Hopes United for my wedding registry and was so happy to be able to combine my love for quirky, beautiful household items with a cause I’m passionate about. I am a freelance writer and blogger and am very happy to be joining the Seven Hopes team. I live in Southern California now, but am a Midwest girl originally. My husband and I are headed to Thailand shortly for our honeymoon and I can’t wait to experience a new-to-me culture and explore how a vastly different country lives and operates. I am excited to get to know the Seven Hopes United followers and customers. I hope to share more about how the fair trade industry has opened my eyes to how we all have a social responsibility to the people of this country and to the world. We’re all in this together and I look forward to making fair trade more of a priority in people’s minds and hearts.

Favorite Fall Jewelry

So I’ve been wanting to step up my jewelry and accessories game from easy summer favorites to bold Fall choices. And as always, fair trade necklaces, bracelets and earrings are an awesome way […]

Coffee Date

It’s been a while since we’ve had a virtual “coffee date!” Let’s fix that! If we were having coffee today—I would tell you that my mug is a little less full than I like it and I won’t be going for seconds. The reason? My husband and I are expecting our first baby! She’s due in March, […]
