I love to read. Books take my heart and mind on a journey which always leave a mark and change me. And such was the case when I signed up to be on the launch team for Atlas Girl by Emily Wierenga.
Emily had a dream to make a difference in the lives of children and women so she founded The Lulu Tree. They are a Canadian non-profit registered as The Lulu Tree Development Fellowship. Their vision statement is āpreventing tomorrowās orphans by equipping todayās mothers” in Katwe, Uganda.
Part of this dream includes The Lulu Tree Boutique. The goal of this shop is two-fold. Not only do 100% of the proceeds benefit their ministry to mothers in the slum of Katwe, Uganda, but their goal through this boutique is to create a market through which these very mothers can sell their products.ĆĀ
Recently I shopped The Lulu Tree purchasing hats for my granddaughters.
Can I just say, “Precious!” When I opened the package, each item was wrapped and placed carefully.
The quality of the yarn was just exquisite – warm, soft and sure to be comfortable. The detail in each item was handcrafted with skill. I found myself so excited by my purchase I gave them immediately rather than hold onto them for Christmas.
So here’s the deal …. you all are going to shop for Christmas. Won’t you please take a moment and browse through the Lulu Tree Boutique? You will have the joy of knowing you gave a gift which will keep on giving in the lives of others. Your gift will delight the recipient for sure but it will also make a difference in the lives of children and women in Uganda. There’s much to choose from AND *all purchases include free shipping!!!
Please know there is nothing which I will gain from your purchase. All proceeds go towards The Lulu Tree. So take a few minutes. Browse through the boutique and let your purchase impact others.
Today I am joining … Playdates With God and Unforced Rhythms and Salt & Light and Inspire Me Mondays and Mon. Musings and Create With Joy and Making Your Home Sing and Good Morning Mon. .
Those hats are precious (and the little models even more so!). Thank you for getting the word out about this wonderful idea–I’ll definitely take a look (now, I just need me some grandchildren….no, I can wait on that one š ).
Thank you, Anita. May I {{gently}} suggest you visit the boutique? There are things there for everyone š It was my joy to share about The Lulu Tree.
Love the hats; love the children. What a beautiful gift of love both here and there. Thanks for sharing about the Lulu Tree. Important work.
Thank you, Lisa. They are doing a most important work. Any purchase contributes to that work & is a huge blessing to the women & children there.
The hats are adorable. It’s wonderful when our gifts can serve a double purpose.
They truly are, Wanda. And there are so many other things to choose as well.
Thanks for the idea. I’ll check it out now…
Most grateful!
I love this book and I love Emily! The Lulu Tree shop has such darling items. I love the dolls! I was going to write a review this week too! Thanks for encouraging me!
The dolls are precious too. Each item truly is so unique. I so encourage you to share a post reviewing your purchase.
Oh, your grand girls are A-dorable! And those hats really are precious. Thank you, Joanne, for encouraging me to think about the Lulu Tree for Christmas (don’t tell anyone, but I haven’t even thought about shopping yet). Emily is such a beautiful soul.
Laura, I am thinking since I already gave the girls their hats, I technically haven’t thought about shopping now either š There are so many beautiful items offered in the boutique. And yes!!! Emily is a beautiful & gentle soul. As are you! So grateful to have “met” you both! Have a great week!
I love shopping that makes a difference. Thanks for the reminder to check out Lulu Tree.
Their things are just lovely, truly! And what a joy to give a gift that will bless others as well.
Thanks for linking this up at Good Morning Mondays and reminding us that shopping doesn’t always have to be for us. Blessings
We need that reminder now & then, don’t we š Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Oh My! I love these hats! And I love Emily! Thank you for inspiring me to go there for Christmas! And thanks for linking up to Inspire Me Mondays! I am glad to connect again!
Angie, the hats & every item, are most precious & beautifully handcrafted. May you & yours have a blessed Thanksgiving!
