Lending a Hand this Summer

One of the reasons I named the shop HAND AND GLOVE was to display and sell hand made products by artisans around the country. 
This beautifull Silk Scarf is just such an item, there is ONLY this one. You will have to call or come into the shop for this item.  If you call I will send you several photos of the scarf so you can see up close how detailed it is. 
And like I mentioned it's silk, it feels heavenly and the detail is truly exceptional. 

The artist is Linda Pavian Roberts.  Here's the kicker... Linda donates 100% of her profits to the Intercultural Resource Center in Summit County. Did you see that?  100% !

It is hand died silk, the wool is a washed and dried and applied onto the silk.  It's a beautiful testiment to the femine side of fashion.

The resutls are in

During may we had the One and Only sale to benefit the handicap at the Colorado Springs VA Hospital in the name of Dr. Larry Purvis.
We have 63 gloves to be donated! Several customers were savvy on grabbing a deal! Donating their One and Only glove and receiveing a new pair for only $35.00!
I feel good about the response as it was our first year.  I am looking forward to next year,  the marketing and promotions for the donation event will kick off in April while there are still skiers here in Breckenridge. 
I'm sure some of you have experinced putting a good idea into motion.... !@*^!(^#??!@

To Whom It May Concern:

Enclosed please find a check for $300.00 to be used by the the Family and Intercultural Resource Center to help those in need in your area.

The check represents profits that I have made through the sale of my fiber art at Hand and Glove, a shop in Breckenridge. It is through the generosity of the owner of that business, Sheri Spurlock, that I am able to sell my work there, and then, in turn, donate my earnings to agencies in the shop’s community that help those in need.
It is my hope that this small donation will help the lives of your area’s citizens and that the generosity of this local business will be recognized by you as a valuable asset to your community.

Sincerely,
Linda Pavian Roberts
