How Did We Earn $155 in Donations in 2 Hours?

In two words - we shopped!  :)


Anna Street Studio in Portsmouth, NH has the cutest line of handbags that you can purchase already made or you can design yourself.  This past Saturday, 6 girlfriends & I went to their Market St. shop to design our own handbags and also raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Light the Night walk this coming Thursday night.



Carrie Saunders is the co-founder and owner of the shop.  Not only does she have a really unique product - the handbag I bought will have 3 looks when all is said and done - the handbag party was such a fun evening!  The store was closed for the duration of our party, so we had a run of the shop and the ability to spread out the fabrics and spent time making our creations.  What was so interesting is that even though we have all been friends for quite some time, we all designed very different bags that reflect our personalities.  It will be about 4 weeks until our orders are ready, and then we'll venture back up to Portsmouth to pick up our custom designed bags!

Overall the whole evening was a blast!  We also a great meal at Cafe Mediterraneo and then met up with friends from high school after dinner!
