Well that's a wrap! With your help our Mother's Day Ethical Gift Giving campaign raised $5,000 - with a last minute order from Lorna at Bodacious Lifestyle Boutique to top us up to our goal. Considering we are in the middle of a pandemic - we are more than pleased! We have been blown away by your generosity and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are so excited to move forward with investing in the two new cooperatives we have had on our radar - and now we have the funds to start those projects. So stay tuned for bags to be added to our collection later on this year.
Stay tuned as we are just in the middle of a big website redesign and are about to unveil soon.
A big thanks again! for your continued support!

Christmas Markets and Events 2019
Top 3 photos are of the annual Hycroft Christmas Market. Hycroft is the University Women's Club mansion in Vancouver and this market is an annual fundraiser for the club to continue to improve and renovate the heritage building. It is a well supported market and as many come just to see the mansion as to shop this famous market.

We have participated in this fair for the past 5 years and it is an important opportunity for us to talk about our work in fair trade.
