Perhaps surprising zero people who know me well I have not been regularly posting. It's something I will work on as I enjoy writing and sharing what I'm doing and the regular social media platforms have been less and less interesting to me as time goes on. Anyhow, I digress.

My update is about a sweet campaign I just learned about last year called Princess and the Purse. It all started 7 years ago in the Greater Moncton Area of New Brunswick. Lorraine Cormier wanted to share with struggling mothers from her community. She understood that many women live on limited means and are used to going without special gifts because their first priority is always to take care of and provide for their children. What a beautiful way to make mothers feel like a princess during the holidays through the gift of a lovely purse filled with treats.

New or gently used purses are collected and filled with new personal items such as hair brushes, perfume, jewelry, scarves and mittens, lipstick, hand lotion, and more!

I reached out to the Halifax chapter to see if they wanted some earrings and it turned out they did. Yay. These little rose gold glitter studs will be heading to purses in Nova Scotia. Check out Princess and the Purse Halifax on Facebook if you're local and want to support their lovely work.
