Pink Ribbon Sparkle

  

We have many friends who are participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk.  We have many friends who have been touched by breast cancer in some way.  And we have many friends who are always on the hunt for fabulous pink ribbon garb.  Ask and you shall receive.

 Oftentimes, pink ribbon baubles don't live up to our "cute" standards here at Bon Lemon, but we have found some pieces that get our stamp of approval.  

These pretties and a couple more pieces should be in next week.  

Just in time for the last push in your fundraising. 

And don't forget, about our Lemon Loves bracelets.  We can get them in any color combination you would like and for every bracelet you sell, we will donate $5 to your 3-Day Walk.  (Or any other charity, for that matter.)  Contact us for details at sparkleon@bonlemon.com.  

Children and Books

Children need notebooks to learn how to write. And crayons to learn how to draw. And books to learn how to read. I know these are obvious statements, but sometimes the most obvious things aren't obvious until they are staring you right in the face. And sometimes the obvious things are the easiest to forget. (Or maybe I just need to pay more attention...)

A friend of mine teaches at a school where the children's needs are very basic. And oftentimes, her children are without notebooks, crayons, and books. They aren't getting iPads or taking field trips; the teachers are trying to figure out how to teach kids to write, without a notebook.

This week, Bon Lemon is sending books to my friend's classroom. I don't have children, and I don't know much about children's books, but some friends and I picked out our favorites and tried to find fun, new ones. We wouldn't be able to do this without the support of our trunk show hostesses and customers. Thank you ladies, for helping us spread the Bon Lemon love. Putting on something sparkly, is sending books to kids who need them.

When life gives you lemons... Bon Lemon wants to help out

Remember last month when we announced a contest? Name your favorite charity and we would give $75 to that charity and a $25 Bon Lemon gift card to you. (We know you all memorize every word of our blog, so I am probably boring you with the details.)

Well... that contest ended on March 1. Today! Guess what we decided to do. We decided everybody should be a winner! (We are a touch obsessed with philanthropy.) So here's the deal. We had nine entries into our contest:

1. Friends of MIA
2. Dove's Real Beauty Campaign
3. Rally Foundation
4. Run to Remember
5. Capitol Land Trust
6. Small Voices Foundation
7. Miss Thurston County Scholarship Program
8. Charley's Fund
9. Zina Linnik Project

And for the next nine months (2 in December) we will donate $75 to one of these great causes and send the participant a $25 Bon Lemon gift card. Everybody wins!

Thanks to all who participated in our contest. Thanks for caring about your community. And thanks for making a difference. We are committed to making the world a better place, one sparkly accessory at a time. And we believe (however cliche and cheesy it might sound) together, we can make a difference.

Learn more about the Run to Remember here. (I have a couple tears running down my face after watching it.)

St. Mike's Auction

Bon Lemon is headed out to a fun, Saturday, afternoon trunk show and then onto the St. Michael's School SMART Auction and Gala. Bon Lemon donated a fabulous basket for the silent auction and will be checking out all of the great wares in the live one. Pictures tomorrow.
