I just had a Grandmother come into the shop to show off her Pandora bracelet. Everyone of her Grandkids gave her a bead that represented that child. She was very proud she knew what bead stood for who…
Another customer received a Pandora bracelet from her co-workers upon her retirement. She now had a wonderful keepsake from friends. My customer’s give me such good ideas.

| HANDMADE VERA BRADLEY QUILT RAFFLE |
Come view our Vera Bradley Quilt. Our one of a kind handmade quilt was made from my customer's donated Vera Bradley purses. The scrapper's quilt guild of Williams Bay Wisconsin carefully cut apart the purses, and put together this wonderful quilt. The Scrapper's donated their time and efforts in order for Vignettes to auction this quilt off for Breast and Ovarian cancer. For more information about the raffles click here. Please pass this information on to friends and family. We would like to have many people see this creation. We will not stop fundraising until there is a cure for all cancers.
