Unique fine art photography prints & vintage treasures

if1hadwords's Shop Announcement

Thanks for stopping by my shop! I offer unique photographic art prints, and charming vintage treasures. I want to tell you about something very important.

Every year, unknown thousands of Nepalese girls, as young as age six, are kidnapped or tricked into traveling to India. Some are "married" with the promise of a better life. When they arrive in India they are sold into sex shops where they are initiated by gang-raping, and then raped up to 40 times a day, until they are too weak or diseased to continue. If they don't die in the brothels, they are thrown onto the streets. The girls who do make it home are rejected by their families and communities. They have little hope for life beyond the brothels.

ALL photography proceeds until the end of the year will be given to the Princess Home, a Christian rehabilitation center for young women rescued from Nepal's extensive sex-trafficking network. The women in the Princess Home receive care, compassion and job training. Read all about the Princess Home and Tiny Hands International (their parent organization) here: http://bit.ly/1Ok6lT

Tiny Hands International is also offering bracelets for $10 - which is how much it costs to intercept one girl at the India border, on her way to enslavement in a brothel. You can join the One Girl initiative here: http://www.onegirlthi.org/

**During this holiday season, please consider purchasing artwork to benefit a much larger cause. The stakes are high, and it does not take much money to truly change a woman's life.**

All of my photography ships FREE within the U.S. It's printed on quality paper from a professional lab. My images are available in many paper types, but the majority of my listed photos are printed with glossy metallic ink, which lends depth, shimmer and a subtle glow to the entire image. Please let me know if you'd like a certain kind of paper or ink, and I'll provide that for you.

My vintage treasures are discovered in many places, but they are always carefully cleaned and researched to the best of my ability. I always share all the information I've found about these treasures - learning their history, I think, is half the fun! Also, any excess postage from shipping vintage items is refunded to you. Cool, huh?
