This year, our Mother's Day Collection was inspired by a beautiful little girl named Marguerite, the niece and cousin of sweet friends here in Louisville. (And - by extension - getting to know Marguerite's mom and family in Louisiana has been a joy.) Though Marguerite was diagnosed with a brain tumor (DIPG) as a kindergartener and passed away just over a year ago at age 7, she brought so many people together in hope, love, courage and kindness, and her shining spirit continues to be a light - even for those who never had the joy of meeting her. 

The name Marguerite means "daisy," fitting since the flower is a cheerful reminder of the beauty that surrounds us and the hope that returns again and again each spring even after the cold of winter.  As funding for research and trials are cut, and since May 17th is DIPG Awareness Day, bringing focus to childhood brain cancer, we thought it fitting to honor Marguerite and her loving family with a collection of three different small-batch daisy designs, each offering a portion of proceeds ($20 of each purchase price) to an organization called Tough2gether, founded by a mother who lost her own son to DIPG. With each daisy design, it's lovely to think of Marguerite's legacy and to contribute to helping families facing childhood cancer, offering hope, support, science-backed research, and resources along the way. 

Shop all three daisy designs here.
