Passionately Pink Pumpkins for The Cure







Add to Technorati Favorites

Komen has a program for the month of October, breast cancer awareness month, for companies to join in fund raising by wearing Pink. http://www.passionatelypink.org/. The goal is to set a date and anyone who wants to wear the Pink in support for the Cure donates at least $5.00.
We took this fund raising challenge on a different bent with Passionately Pink Pumpkins for the Cure. We had so many table top pumpkins from our garden that we decided to decorate them with pink boa feathers and sell them as Passionately Pink Pumpkins for the Cure. Of course we wore pink in more of a Halloween/costume theme and had pink lemonade and pink cupcakes, because what is a pink fund raiser with-out pink cake?
The response was great and we raised $150.00 from our afternoon efforts. Next year we are planning for bigger response, more lead time and more cupcakes. No guarantee that the garden will produce an abundance of pumpkins again, but we can adapt with Passionately Pink Potatoes for the Cure, or even Passionately Pink Parsley for the Cure. We have a year to passionately plan.
My lovely dress was bought at the local Goodwill for $5.95. This was hand sewn and must have been a bride's maid dress. The puffy sleeves and the bow in the back are the tell tale signs. A friend was looking for a princess dress just like mine to wear at the request of her 2 little boys for Halloween. I am delighted to loan it to her for the evening because I know how difficult it is to find a passionately pink taffeta dress when you need one!

I wonder how many bridesmaid's dresses end at thrift stores. What a find! What a cause!

I know I had a bridesmaid dress that I saved and thought I would cut and sew it into placemats, but eventually it joined the ranks of disgarded puffy sleeve dresses at the thrift shops!Thanks Doc for your comments.
