Foster Mother’s Home got a complete makeover!

I am overwhelmed with gratitude and joy as I reflect on the incredible service project we had the privilege to be a part of last Saturday with The Lion Project. Our hearts have been touched in ways that words cannot fully express.

We came together as a community to serve Lindsay, a single foster mother, and we witnessed firsthand the power of compassion and generosity. It was amazing to see how each and every one of you contributed to this project in your own unique way, whether it was through financial donations, purchasing items from our Amazon Wish List, or offering up heartfelt prayers. Your support and dedication made all the difference in the world.

As we worked side by side, we saw the impact of our efforts on Lindsay’s life and on the lives of her children. It was truly an honor to be a part of something so special, and we could not have done it without your help.

 

We are excited to share more about this project in the coming days, as we continue to spread awareness and advocate for those in need. Let us continue to keep Lindsay and her family in our thoughts and … Read more!

Pull into the alley behind Snooze for the suitcase drop!

Did you know that oftentimes, foster children are given a garbage bag to put their belongings in and move along to their next foster home? It breaks our hearts! We’re teaming up with The Lion Project to create a SUITCASE DRIVE-THROUGH to bring love into these difficult transitions!

Fashion Denver is excited to bring you the holiday edition of Fashion Camp filled to the brim with holiday cheer.

This fashion camp is inspired by a fashion show that I co-produced in 2007 called The Fashion Project. For one of the fashion challenges, each of the designers received the exact same materials to design with. The outcome was incredible!

We’ll be taking this concept and the creativity will fly as our campers go to work on their designs, learning how to make a simple no-sew dress. create fringe and use other creative materials to design their outfits.

We’ll have special guests from the original 2007 Fashion Project including Dianne Denholm, owner of the now closed D’Leas Fabric as well as … Read more!

Denver, CO 80231

$49.00 with group discounts!

When I was first starting out as an entrepreneur with my handbag business B.Shigley Designs, I had no idea what I was doing. I wasn’t charging what I was worth, I wasn’t being efficient with my time, I wasn’t saving. It was money in, money out and many times, money under. Flash forward to almost 20 years later and I’ve learned a few things 😉.  Now, I’m working with amazing business leaders in the community and continue to learn even more!

I invite you, my fashion community, to come along and keep on learning!
