A Win-Win Situation...

I was so thrilled to find Craft Hope's Etsy shop last week! Beautiful handmade goods, support going to Haiti...I was swooning! I eagerly browsed the shop and just could not decide which generously donated handmade item would be mine. Once I saw this quilt, I knew that nothing else would do...I was in love!

Now, I probably typically would not have allowed myself to purchase such an elegant gift {for myself}. However, as I mentioned, all these items were generously donated and all the money collected was going to Doctors Without Borders in Haiti. So, purchasing this quilt was like making a generous donation to a fund I believe in and getting a quilt in return: a total win-win situation!

And I'm going to be honest with you here. I purchased the quilt and had a little pang of worry in my heart thinking that most likely, Craft Hope merely lists these great items and it's up to the creator to ship to the customer. I have ordered things from many a seller who have had their good name at steak who took an extended length of time to ship a paid item. I wondered what the odds were that some anonymous seller would be prompt and punctual with shipping an item that they received no money for. {I know, it's cynical...but I've been burned before, my friends!}

Much to my great surprise, the quilt arrived {from CA no less} in about three days. That is exceptional! And it is gorgeous...and very well made!

A this little lady has taken quite a shine to it. Me too, sweet Maya!

I seriously encourage you to head over to the Craft Hope Etsy shop. There are some gorgeous items for sale. But don't think too long about something because I'm to understand that items are being sold rather rapidly and if you snooze, you'll lose!
