Thank you Project Linus Nova Scotia for the beautiful blankets. ❤️

Our hearts are heavy as the community of Bridgewater processes the tragic fire earlier this week. We are pleased to be partnering with the Salvation Army who are collecting items to distribute to individuals impacted by the fire. Our handmade comfort blankets will be distributed to those in need of a hug at this sad time.

Thank you to all our blanketeers and donors for all your support. Because of you, we are able to step in quickly when a community is dealing with a tragedy.

This is what love looks like.
