This summer Ben and I hope to spend a few months volunteering at the Maria Skobtsova House in France, offering sanctuary and hospitality to refugees. Their guests are amongst the most vulnerable from within the refugee community, a particular welcome being offered currently to women and women with children.

If you’re interested, you can learn more about their work here.

One of my hobbies during COVID has been teaching myself textile and pattern design. I then discovered ArtofWhere, an ethical fabric printing business that can turn those designs into gorgeous scarves! Today I’m launching my collection for the first time, and I’m so excited to support the work of the Maria Skobtsova House at the same time. 100% of the proceeds from these scarves will go to support the work of the Maria Skobtsova House.

You’ll find scarves and more through my artist’s link here! Here’s a sneak peek of a few of my recent designs:

It’s fun sending new creations out into the world, but it’s even more fun to support an organization I believe in so wholeheartedly. If you are able, I hope you’ll consider supporting the Maria Skobtsova House!
