Victorian Bushfire Appeal

"Goodness is the only investment that never fails." - Henry David Thoreau

We emailed the following to our customers yesterday and already have had many people ringing and bringing in donations - so good, thankyou!!! I have also just found a blog that you may be interested in - the Handmade Help blog. You can make items and sell/auction them off and donate the proceeds to the appeal or you can go to the blog and find items to buy off crafters who will donate the money you spend.

It is hard to comprehend the devastation and loss that so many people are now facing.
One of our beautiful customers who donates so much of her own time and resources advised me today that Fastway Couriers has offered to send donations FREE of charge to all fire affected areas in Victoria. So, let’s all help!
Please drop any of the following items off at our shop asap and we will organise to send them down:
· Mobile phone chargers
· Shampoo
· Deodorant
· Sanitary Pads & tampons
· Nappies
· Baby Wipes
· Baby Bottles
· Baby Formula
· Underwear
· Socks
Please do not bring clothes as most items of clothing are sufficiently covered.
