F.A.R.M. Your Christmas

F.A.R.M.

(Fabulously & Absolutely Rural Made)

F.A.R.M. Bracelet carries with it a love story and an advocacy... a story of a mother who suffers in silence because she cannot send her child to school, a wife who quits her job to provide health care for her sick husband, a woman who needs to earn a living as she is a sole provider, a woman who is abandoned, a daughter who has to earn so as not to ask an allowance from her mom.

It is also an advocacy for the love of Art, Creativity, and Environment. It is about recycling,

re-purposing, refining, and re-funding things. It is about glorifying the old and the vintage. Each bracelet is one of a kind and is made from used and discarded buttons.

A perfect Christmas gift for your friend, for your daughter, for your mom, and for yourself.

Please visit the official blog site of F.A.R.M. for more information about our advocacy to help youth and woman empower themselves.

Girlfriends and F.A.R.M.

Girlfriends

(Donna Fargo)

Girlfriends are connected at the heart, and their commitment to their friendship is permanent. They believe in each other. They are sensitive and supportive, and they can talk about things they may not even talk to their families about. Each of them know the other will always understand, no matter what.

They aren't afraid to break the rules, defend each other, go out of their way. They've cried together and laughed together, and they have been there when it mattered. Their loyalty is strong and lasting, and their bond is unquestionable and unconditional. They know that they'll keep on being there through everything life has in store for them.

No one can take place of a girlfriend, just like no one can take place in my life. You will always live in my heart... just like family.

My New F.A.R.M. - Boho Chic collections

In modern usage, the term Bohemian (also referred to "Boho') is applied to people who live unconventional. A modern bohemian is intensely concerned with artistic self expression in all forms ( visual art, literature, music, dance, and etc.).

Moreover, a bohemian is normally anti establishment, is an unorthodox, creative, intelligent thinker, and individualism is an utmost importance.

With my new acquired F.A.R.M. collections, I fell in love with the color combinations and styles that I thought of them as a perfect answer to the fall/winter look for accessorizing a boho-chic trend.

I would like to share with you the fabulous handcrafted F.A.R.M. bracelets that my Manay BidiBidi sent me to enjoy and brag about.

I used "Bohemian" - Czech names for each styles and colors that match the meaning of the name assigned for them.

Plum 'Emilia" ( slovak form for Latin: "Rival")




Black "Hedvika" (Czech name for "Contending Battle")



White "Andel" (Czech form of English : Angel, Messenger)



Yellow & Green "Jarmila" (Feminine form of Czech: Spring Favor)


Red "Daleka" (Pet form of Czech: Distant Battle)

Fall Color "Dusanka" (Pet form of Czech: Soul, Spirit)

Green & Blue "Judita" (Czech form of Hebrew: Jewess or Praised)



Violet "Jolana" (Czech form of English: Violet flower)


Blue "Jarka" (Czech feminine form : Spring)


For interested party, kindly contact me on how to get those beautiful handcrafted bracelets.

Friends at Dubai became F.A.R.M.-fanatic!

As been said, F.A.R.M. re-connects friends wherever they are. I cannot imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

fun people,

met at fun places,

fun memories of the past,

fun of a lifetime,

these are the things that last.

Anne Igne and Eny Obligacion are previous co-workers and friends back in the Philippines, Morocco, and until now.
They are both amazed of the beautiful F.A.R.M. bracelets and are so happy to be able to take part of the cause behind F.A.R.M.

Both of them now work as a Merchandiser/Buyer in a company base in Dubai, UAE. It was one of the FARMer, Dang Acantalicio (who is also base in Dubai), who showed them those fabulous bracelets shown in the picture.

Thank you Anne and Enz for the support and helping us spread the word about F.A.R.M.

F.A.R.M.ers in Massachusettes

Alpha Sanford, a friend of mine who lives in Quincy, MA appreciates F.A.R.M. bracelets and its advocacy. She is a Mom, a wife, and an entrepreneur who believes that helping make the F.A.R.M. advocacy a success will definitely contribute not only to the women who are handcrafting each bracelets but educating the future scholars of F.A.R.M.

F.A.R.M. Advocacy

F.A.R.M officially launched the BUTTONS to HOPE: Educating and Empowering Baao's Youth. This project aims to provide free technical-vocational college education to worthy and aspiring youth of Baao through the F.A.R.M. advocacy.

What is our goal?

1. Our basic goal is to be able to raise One Million Pesos (Php) 1,000,000.00 by June 1. 2010. One year of hard work, one year to make a change.
   
2. This amount shall cover the whole two-year college education of 10-12 tech-voc students from Baao. This amount, which is still small considering the number of F.A.R.M.ers we have in the network, shall be able to improve the lives of 10-12 families in Baao.

How do we reach that goal? How can you help?

1. 
   There are countless possibilities. But we need to be focused and organized.
   We can do charity-dinners, concerts, auctions, house parties or any event that does not only raise funds but build awareness and elicit participation from more and more dedicated people.
2. 
   We will also sell special, limited-edition F.A.R.M. bracelets for this cause.
   Our group is now working on how we can be formally organized into a non-government organization but it will be a long process and it will take time. While we do that, we start with the activities to raise funds for Buttons to Hope.
