Calling All Socially Conscious Fashionistas
We need Your Help!
RBRW, with the support of First Saturday Arts Market and the Heights Women’s Club 
Volunteers, is making comfort kit packages for the female victims of Harvey. We have totes and make-up bags donated by Lancôme, which we will be filling with much needed items. This is where you come in!
We are collecting the following items on Saturday, September 2, from 11 AM – 6 PM, at the First Saturday Arts Market in the Heights, located at 540 W. 19th Street, Houston, Texas 77008:Toiletries
Bathroom products such as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and deodorant are toiletries many of us take for granted. Small bottles save space and make it possible for someone without regular shelter to stay clean while relying on public rest areas for bathing. Just make sure the products you purchase still have an intact seal.

[themify_box style=”yellow, highlight” ]Consider donating: Allergy-friendly brands of soap and deodorant
Toothbrushes and toothpaste for normal and sensitive teeth.[/themify_box]
Feminine Hygiene Products
No one should ever have to worry about access to feminine hygiene.
[themify_box style=”yellow, highlight” ]Consider donating: Pads and tampons for all scenarios and body types. Think heavy, light and moderate needs.[/themify_box]
Beauty Products
These items can help some women feel better about their appearance, and let them feel some kind of normalcy during all of the chaos around them.
[themify_box style=”yellow, highlight” ]Consider donating: Cosmetics & Nail Polish in basic and neutral colors are best. Mascara goes well on everyone. Drug Store brands have really increased in quality the last few years, and you get more bang for your buck, too! Trust us, you can’t go wrong here. It’s all appreciated![/themify_box]
RBRW has always been a 100% volunteer based and has over 10 years in assisting shelters and organizations that directly serve communities, families, and individuals in crisis. We love working with smaller organizations that day in and day out make an impact on people’s lives.
Thank you for all the support.
with love from our team in NY, NJ, LA, and Texas
K Jones Jewelry
by Kendra Jones
I’ve been twisting, weaving, hand forging wire for 6 years now and every day I learn something new. Each piece created tells a unique story and it aspires to bring out the uniqueness in every woman. I rarely sketch out designs and my work truly represents my raw, free flowing creativity. I take pride in creating each piece of jewelry by hand, and knowing that my customers are getting an excellent quality piece of art. www.bykjones.com

I use photography as a means of self-expression – to capture the inherent beauty of this world and how nature paints pictures that cannot be matched. The inexplicable beauty that the world expressed is something both divine and physical, and my goal is to capture these unexplored places of curiosity and tranquility to show people everywhere. Nature is symbolic of new chances, new beginnings, and new experiences, which I strive to share with the world around me. www.samhdpics.com
Tulaa
by Preeti Ramadoss
I am inspired by colors and concepts that I see in everyday life. There is simultaneous order and chaos to most processes and there is a delicate balance between them that I find fascinating. I try to capture these elements and the balance between them in a single frame using colors that I see as appealing and complementary. I see certain colors and patterns come together, depending on my mood and thought process on a given day, which I transfer to canvas. My favorite things to do are intricate designs with fine brush strokes that require focus and a steady hand, and experimenting with brush strokes, particularly to paint flowers. I find transferring images from my imagination on to canvas relaxing and rewarding.

The Miss Carolyn Interviews
“Miss Carolyn” is a longtime fan of First Saturday Arts Market. Now in her 90’s, “Miss Carolyn” as I fondly call her now, is one of the most prolific and dedicated artists I have ever met. From our conversations, sometimes by phone others in person, I’ve mentioned her and included her wisdom and fascinating history as a longtime Houston artist in my arts column, Art Valet, in The Leader Newspaper.
Links below will open archived interviews and mentions of Miss Carolyn. – Mitch Cohen
