Hello and welcome!
Like many of you, I felt a sense of helplessness while seeing the war in Ukraine begin from my couch. I knew I wanted to do something small to signal my support for the Ukranian people. After discovering that sunflowers are the national flower of Ukraine, I created a small sunflower lapel pin to silently show my support. A few days later, I had the idea to make the sunflower pin more recognizable as a symbol of the Ukranian people fighting for their home, and added the signature blue and yellow of the flag to the sunflower pins. After wearing the pins to work, many of my amazing co-workers wanted their own pin to show their support. I quickly decided I would make a few sunflowers and donate the proceeds to efforts in Ukraine.
The outpouring of interest around these handmade pins has been so extraordinary that I decided to take orders for these lapel pins here on Facebook while continuing to donate all proceeds to the IFAW.
To order: Simply send me a message with the number of pins you are wanting to order and the mailing address where you’d like your pins sent. Once I have confirmed payment via Venmo, I will send your pins out!
Pricing:
2" Classic Ukraine Sunflower Pin: $10 ea.
2" Solid Yellow Sunflower Pin: $10 ea.
Don’t want a pin? No problem. The classic sunflower base can be placed onto a super strong refrigerator magnet if that’s more your style!
