The Preparations :: Gift Totes

You’ve been so kind and generous
I don’t know how you keep on giving
For your kindness I’m in debt to you
For your selflessness, my admiration
And for everything you’ve done – Natalie Merchant

We arose early to the sound of the river that runs beside Narnia.  Becky, her daughters and I excitedly prepared for the arrival of our guests.  We packed the tote bags full of goodies from our gift sponsors.  We are so grateful for the generosity of our sponsors.  It is a joy to introduce to our guests an array of consciously made products created by real people.  Each one of our sponsors is a testament to creativity, artistic vision, beautiful craftsmanship and manifesting a dream.  We teach our children that we all have unique gifts to share with the word, that we have a purpose and our own path to follow.  We believe that our sponsors are a good example of what is possible when one masters their craft and turns their dream into a reality.  That said, it is a privilege to introduce you to the generous souls that have touched our lives and filled our hearts (and totes) with joy and gratitude.  We are certain they will inspire you….

Demeter Fragrance Library is a family owned company that creates layered scents which evoke memories of time and place.  Demeter uses ingredients derived from natural or renewable resources, no artificial colors, binders, emulsifiers, or phthalates.

We chose the scent “firefly” because it’s summertime after all, and because the sanctuary is literally aglow with these tiny luminous wonders.

In Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of the earth, and associated with the seasons.  Her daughter was Persephone, the goddess of Spring and rebirth.

Mighty Creative would like to thank Demeter Fragrance Library for their generosity and support!!!
