Buy a Bag and Fund the Forrests. It’s really that simple.
You know that beautiful night of Forrest Fest loveliness?
It was such a successful night on so many levels.
We had fine weather, fabulous music and fun times together.
We raised some great funds to help our friends with their upcoming across-the-universe move.
A few days before the party Hilary mentioned that she had some hand crafted bags she had made. We decided to string them across the porch and have them for sale with our silent auction items.
She sold quite a few them – they are so pretty! Hilary had originally begun crafting the bags as a fundraiser when she and Jacob were in the process of adopting two of their children from Ethiopia.
The Forrest house is practically empty of possessions currently.
They’ve sold and packed and given away and I cannot even really imagine the challenge of all that life sorting but that is not exactly my point today.
My point is this — Hilary still has some bags left for sale. Funds could still help this genuinely beautiful family make their transition smoother.
I’m going to post a picture of each bag with some sort of title by it so you can distinguish one from another when you pick the one you like the best.
Just send me an email at soeveryday@gmail.com telling me which bag you would like. You can pay me through the Paypal link on the top right of the sidebar. I will give all of your monies directly to Hilary. I promise. If you are not local and we cannot arrange a meeting location, just kindly add in $5 for shipping and I’ll send it to your house. Or to your friend’s house if you want it to be a gift for them. Whatever makes you happy.
The cost will be $20 per bag, but hey, this cause is a good one so if you want to give more – you should probably just go ahead and do that.
I’ll ship your bag as soon as the Paypal payment clears.
Thanks friends.
Please feel free to share this post so we can sell these little lovely bags as soon as possible!

I would like the 2nd one please, with the Leather handle. The one that is hanging. Hilary and Jacob are my cousins.
I can send you the money through the mail by check?

It’s a brown and purplish pink color in the stitching. (it’s my favorite) I’ll try to take another picture tomorrow in the daylight if you’d like. – You were speedy to see this post. I just clicked “publish”.
