A is for Ainsley | Calendars for a Cause



At the end of October, after finding a large growth on her cheek, three year old Ainsley was diagnosed with Embroynal Rhabdomyosarcoma. This dear little girl, too young to really understand what is happening, will be going through 22 weeks of chemo therapy at the Detroit Children’s Hospital. Detroit is located almost eight hours away from this little girl's hometown of Marquette, Michigan. Costs are accruing quickly for Ainsley's family, as you can imagine. Ainsley’s mom Patty, also fought breast cancer two years ago. 

The people in Ainsley's community, like my friend Samantha, are working together to raise money for Ainsley and her family. They are selling adorably designed calendars, sized 5 x 7, for $12.00. If you're in need of a gift for someone, this is one that keeps on giving! All the proceeds cover the cost of materials and the rest goes to Ainsley. These little calendars would be perfect for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, co-workers, and even for yourself if you need a desk side calendar. Hop on over to Calendar for A Cause's Etsy shop for purchasing details. 

Update: So many of you have been sharing this post on Facebook. THANK YOU. You rock.

Terrain Autumn.

I just discovered Terrain, which has been a place of inspiration as I've browsed their planters, dried flowers, wreaths, and outdoor decor. One of the things I often do in my personal home design is take inspiration from stores like Anthropologie or West Elm and then see how I can achieve the look for less or by making it myself. Terrain is another one of those inspiring stores, specifically in the realm of outdoor decor. They have some great decorating ideas too! This calendar month is downloadable at Terrain-- you can go get the PDF version over here. I'm currently using it as my desktop background! I am so inspired by this wreath I stumbled upon at the site and am going to try and make a similar version myself. Is it not gorgeous? Have fun browsing, you are sure to be inspired at this site!
