“Once upon a time, it was very, very gloomy.  The skies thundered, the economy crumbled, and people only spoke to grumble. Everything looked bleak, bleak, bleak.

Until one day, shortly after a market crash and right before another round of layoffs, a girl named Miss B. came up with a terrifically bright idea.  As she later explained to her friend and business partner, Miss K., their mission would be to scour the world for the best in fashion, design, and décor.  Then, one by one and everyday, they would give it all away to some very lucky people.

This is how The Bright Side Project began on a wintry, gray day in February.”

I stumbled upon The Bright Side Project through Daily Candy this morning and not only found it to offer some really neat give-aways but also to be a lovely anti-Recession-attitude idea. When there doesn’t seem to be a bright side, why not create one? Its creators, two corporate gals, really get the meaning of taking life’s lemons and making some cool, crisp lemonade.

Their mission: “The Bright Side Project is here to bring you sunshine every day with themed, daily giveaways. We hope to inspire you to stop for a second and remember life is (still) beautiful and there is goodness in the world.”
