Supporter of Causes

Remember how I love to hear about people who are helping to wage the war against cancer? Well, I recently came in contact with this great shop owner (she will actually be doing a giveaway the middle of November) who does just that! The owner of Anthro-Philanthropy is truly an inspiration and blessing to those who are suffering from life changing illness. After having a friend fight another type of illness and then watching her own sister successfully fight against cancer, she decided to give back. She now creates unique pieces to be used in fund raising auctions. These range from mirrors to furniture. And her furniture is now being carried in a store local to Denver. She has taken it upon herself to make a difference. I am most sincere when I say, 'thank you'.
