From our hearts to yours...
Welcome!
Thanks to you and the talented, caring people around us, we have been able to realize a dream, and it is growing more and more every day.
Our jewelry and related product designs are about abilities -- not disabilities, advantages -- not disadvantages, and heroes -- not victims. They touch the child-spirit in each of us. The opportunity we have to work with the children we support is our daily inspiration and reminder that nothing is impossible. You simply have to be committed to wanting to do it ... and the rest will follow.
May the thoughts and smiling faces behind our products remind you of your own inner child, where everything is possible.
Thank you for helping us build our dreams and the dreams of others. From our hearts to yours...


Linda Brunini, President

The Product
Two Hands, Inc. was established in mid-1992 in Providence, Rhode Island. Our whimsical product line features jewelry and gift items inspired by our collective learning experiences with children in the organizations we support. Our etched brass pieces are plated in precious metals such as gold and palladium and manufactured in our Providence facility to the highest U.S. standards of quality and environmental hygiene. The brilliant colors are all individually hand-painted by talented people with a love and a spirit for their work. Because of this, no two products are exactly alike. Many of our pieces are packaged in attractive keepsake gift boxes incorporating the artwork used in our product line. Early in 1999 we added a new collection to our already existing collections: It Takes a Town. Within this collection are new classifications of product: tac pins, mini-bookmarks, mugs and mouse pads in new collectible packaging.

The Non-Profits We Support
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." This quote by Norman MacEwan is the cornerstone of Two Hands' philosophy. It is our mission statement. We contribute 1% of our total sales (not profits) each year to local organizations supporting children with disabilities, disadvantages, or serious illnesses. However, the financial aspect represents only a part of our commitment. We also contribute our time. Employees of Two Hands interact with the children, either at their school or at our facility, during our regular business hours. Two Hands does not believe in asking for volunteers on personal time, as our mission also includes insuring quality time with our families. Our lives are enriched by all of this.
One of our beneficiaries is Meeting Street Center in East Providence, Rhode Island, a nationally acclaimed non-profit organization working with disabled children and their parents in a supportive, school-like environment. An occasional participant and beneficiary is Community Preparatory School in Providence, Rhode Island, a non-profit school helping inner city and disadvantaged children get the education and support they need to climb to new heights. We support only local organizations so that we can interact easily and frequently with the children. It's that hands-on interaction that makes all the difference.
Our collective learning experiences with children are the foundation of our creativity and design process. Self-esteem and independence are fostered in them as they express their thoughts and feelings through various art forms according to their abilities. Our goal is to touch the lives of these children.

The Kids
One of the children we have been fortunate to work with is Allison, who has cerebral palsy. Our "Happy Sun" pin and earring are based on an original drawing by Allison ... a drawing she did with her feet! Allison showed us there is always another way, and from that moment on we have never been the same. Sometimes it takes a child to open our eyes -- and our hearts. You can see Allison's original artwork on the cover of our blue collection box.
