Bringing Violet Home! A shop with an evolving Purpose
Started at the urging of friends and craft fair customers, my shop began as just a way to keep selling between fairs and to make up for the missed shows when my son was too small to be without me. Over the following years, it evolved in to so much more.
Several years ago my husband and I decided to adopt a little girl with special needs from China. Knowing this was going to be a very expensive adventure, we started fundraising in all the ways we could think of, garage sale, . The next natural step was to commit 100% of the profits from my shop to bringing our daughter home.
We finally have our Violet home, and the end of the bills and adoption loans are nearly in sight. This journey would not have been possible without etsy and all of the fun, generous and thoughtful customers who have not just purchased our creations, but encouraged us along the way.
After seeing so many amazing things happen through etsy for our adoption and after hearing so many other inspiring adoption stories from customers, who themselves had been touched by adoption, we have decided that even after all of our personal adiotion bills are paid, we will continue to commit a portion of our proceeds to deserving adoption related charities that became dear to our hearts and did so much for us during our adoption adventure!
