A Note From Dots & Baubles

We’ve officially beat last year’s sales in just 6 months in our new location!!! Slayed our sales goals month after month. But somehow something doesn’t feel right? We want and need to support our local community. We’ve been planning a few things to make our store even more special ✨

We saw a recent post that My Sisters’ Place is running low on their basic needs items and needs our help ✨ A division of CMHA that does incredible dedicated work in London and relies on 90% community funding to operate.

We’re donating 20% of sales in July to @mysistersplace.ldnont to help fill their supplies to help over 500 women in London.

We’re collecting donations of basic needs items in store and giving 10% off your purchase when you bring in NEW full size, Shampoo, Conditioner, shower gel, sunscreen, deodorant or pack of panties size XS, S, M or L.

We can’t wait to see you this month and Thank you in advance for helping to fill the needs of vulnerable women in our community. 💖✨🫱🏼‍🫲🏾
