Thankyou for making a difference


Manna for Haiti was our focus this year for our Christmas tea at South Union Church. Helping near and far.......... Not too late to make your donation at Manna for Haiti here .
Shelly Weiss (second from right) has a long time passion for the Haitians and making an incredible difference. Can't believe how I have seen this grow into feeding those kids she witnessed eating mudpies to feeding hundreds these days. She tells us $9.00 feeds 144 kids. This girl has plans for LOTS more too! Love her heart.
If you are familiar with Rebecca Sower you know she is making a difference for the Haitian women at Haiti by Hand here. Teaching and supplying means for them to use their crafting skills to provide for their families. Love her heart too!! Sweet Rebecca has a short story to share on this blog and items to purchase as well to support her passion as well. My heart is encouraged this Christmas by women who make a difference. I know you all do in some way or another in and around your world and I want you to know it matters and it does not go unnoticed by dear sweet friends!! I hope you will consider reaching outward to one of these causes if you haven't had a chance to. Christmas hugs and kisses to you friends! XOXO

Fair Lady helps Haiti




This Fair little lady is off to a new home today! Let me tell you a little about her. She and her ring box were purchased while I attended Silver Bella 2008, and at Second Chance antiques, a quaint little store on the bricklined streets of Omaha. As chance would have it, although she came home to Bloomington Indiana, her whereabouts remained a mystery for nearly a year! It wasn't until I purchased her lovely pink tuille skirt (vintage trim) while attending Silver Bella 2009 at Jenni Bowlin's booth that she came out of hiding! She was just waiting on the right outfit~eh? Still, I didnt' feel the need to assemble her little cuteness just yet~ not until a blog post by Rebecca Sower. Haitian Women were the call. Please check out the Etsy site she has set up to help here and here. More and more, we are learning of the truth that although Haiti is out of the media, they are just as desperate as ever. Rebecca supports a specific mission there, you can read more about it on the above blogs. If you haven't helped yet, give it a try and if you have, like me~ let's not give up trying~ not yet! By the way, the Fair little lady is off to a new dear home in South Carolina! Thankyou Diane for your purchase!
