Ruffled Feathers for The Sparrow Fund {Giveaway}

5.6.13

13 years married today and mother of 3 boys, she indeed ruffled some feathers when she opened her little business to sew dresses, twirly skirts, and adorable little dolls. But, we’re glad she did.

Valerie is a treasured member of the Chinese adoptive community, not as an adoptive mother at this point, but as a major supporter and encourager…and seamstress of pretty things for many girlies from all over.

As one of our partners to Build the Nest for The Sparrow Fund this May, Valerie has committed to giving 10% of all her sales this month to support adoptive families through the work of The Sparrow Fund. So, head over to her site and order a few things, k?

Just to encourage you all to do that, Valerie’s giving away one of her precious Lydia Love dolls worth valued at $41 with shipping. So, enter and share about Ruffled Feathers and The Sparrow Fund and our efforts to Build the Nest! Giveaways are fun…winning is always fun…but spreading the word is the purpose. So, rally behind us and help us do that!

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
