Today I had the opportunity to go to a boutique. These little thingies pop up all over the place on Saturday morning around here. Everyone want to show off their talents and make a few bucks in the process. It was fun, and things were cute! It gave me lots of fun craft ideas.Anyways, I went to this boutique to help out my friend Jen. She was not selling any of her handmade goodies instead she and her husband have started a charity and she was taking donations. Her charity is called Kamber's Kaskets. Her daughter Kamber died a little over a year ago and they have started this charity in her name. You can read about it by clicking here or anywhere it says Kamber's Kaskets.
Jen set up a cute little booth all decked out in Purple (because that was Kamber's favorite color) with a sweet story about Kamber and her tragic death and their new found cause.
The boutique had MANY table of different crafts and foods and just fun stuff - I could have easily spent a fortune. Thankfully I didn't think to bring any cash or a checkbook to I was able to escape unscathed.
Every vendor that participated in this boutique are giving a portion of their proceeds to Kamber's Kaskets. On every vendor's table they had a sweet little purple and gold frame telling about Kamber's Kaskets and that they were donating for the cause. 
There is going to be another boutique that is supporting Kamber's Kaskets the first weekend in December in Surprise. I am super excited about this and think it is a wonderful thing that Ethan and Jen are doing to help out other families that see themselves in tragic circumstances. If you or anyone you know would like to donate just let me know!

This sweet little family (The Larson's) make my heart smile. I get a big lump in my throat everytime I read about them, but I also smile because they are turning a tragedy into a positve. Thanks for sharing Jeni.
Thanks so much Jeni for this post. I am very touched by how, through their own pain, the Larson family is helping others. This has been a wonderful reminder to me!
How does one donate?
Thanks for coming Jeni. It was fun to have a friend with me, especially since it was an emotional day for me, which shocked me. Anyways... thanks for being a great friend!!!
Hey will you let me know when and where it is. Surprise is my side of town so I'd love to go to it. I wish I were creative enough to donate anything! It was lots of fun to talk to you guys the other night! We need to plan a get together!
