Black Market 22nd Anniversary Charity Bash!!!

Anyone who knows me knows that my all time favorite store in Halifax is the Black Market, located on Grafton Street in Halifax. As you walk past the store you are greeted with a fabulous painted facade and you get your first smell of the lovely incense that is about to greet you. First thing you will notice when you go inside? The store is stocked floor to ceiling with unbelievably cool stuff, brought to you by the owners and staff who travel around the world to buy items and return them back to Halifax to share with us. The staff are absolutely amazing,  these are the people that you admire, and wonder how it is that any one store could ever find so many lovely people in one city.

Well on top of being a fabulous store, the owners also have a heart as each year they celebrate the anniversary of the store with a big birthday bash, AND all proceeds are donated to local charities. This year (as well as last) the owners have chosen The Themba Development Project to support! That means that each skirt, necklace or henna that you buy is actually funding a local, grass roots charity that supports two communities in South Africa.

So buy all you can people, and know in your heart that you supported local organizations trying to make a difference in the world.
