The Brooke Van Gory 2nd annual Random Acts of Kindness Event.
This event was so amazing, and so overwhelmingly spectacular and magical last year, how could I not do it again? I decided late in 2011, that since Brooke van Gory was doing so well as a company, that I wanted to give back. I wanted to give back to my customers, to my fans, to … Continue reading
My Handmade Black Friday.

Shop update! New Bag Design and Getting Ready for The *GASP* Holidays!
It is smack dab in the middle of August, and I cannot believe I am going to say this but… I spent the last week starting to get the shop ready for the holiday season. Yep, that is right. The local pool has not even closed up for the season, and I already have the … Continue reading
