Creativity

When God created the world, He used so much creativity. I enjoy so much variety in the colors and shapes of flowers, trees, animals and even in people. I am so thankful for my eyes to enjoy all of this variety.

The donations we get at the thrift store have lots of variety in them also. We are able to have things to sell that appeal to so many different people. Some come for the clothing, and some shop for the household items or knick knacks.

I also enjoyed the creativity that was so evident at our fashion show just over a week ago. All of the outfits that the models wore were from donations that had come into the store. Those that put these outfits together used creativity as they found tops to match capris, and then added a purse and jewelry to accent the outfit. And, it all comes from donations that come into the store.

Creativity was also evident in the décor at the show. From the items that were "borrowed" from the store to help create a boutique area, to the tablescapes created by  ElizabethKate Designs, everything looked beautiful.

We also enjoyed the creativity in the food that we were treated to. Our caterer Justine put together beautiful appetizers, and a delicious quiche and salad for us to enjoy. This was topped off by some beautiful and delicious desserts made by Berries and Butter Cakes.

I am so thankful that I was able to enjoy all of the creativity that was evident at the fashion show. If you missed the show this year, make an effort to join us next year. You will be amazed by the creativity that comes from items that are donated to the thrift store.
