In April this year we did a post on clean water for people living in countries unable to access clean drinking water themselves. I thought i would copy you in on their email and add some links to this worthy cause. I urge our dear readers to tell everyone you know to support and be involved in this most basic necessity to life. My darling daughter Kelsey travelled with 13 of her friends to a village in Nepal 2 weeks ago to help in a school and one of the many orphanages situated up in the mountain. They played with the children, taught them some songs and craft and help paint the walls and add a few new supplies to their school. Her heart just broke the day they visited the orphanage and saw it laden with mould, children sharing beds and flies swarming the face of a tiny three year old girl sleeping in her cot. They too like many places in the world do not have the luxury of clean drinking water.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here is what the foundation emailed me this morning.......</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"></span></div><br /><br /><div style="font: 13.0px Consolas; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br /></div><div style="font: 13.0px Consolas; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Porch Light Interiors,</span></div><div style="font: 13.0px Consolas; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="font: 13.0px Consolas; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">charity: water needs your help!

New cushions for spring!

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I just love spring time, it naturally feels like the birth of something new. It's also a great time to add colour to your home. We decided that after so many enquiries of the beautiful Raoul cushions and lampshades shown in our Home Beautiful feature this month we would do a close up feature on more of these beautiful fabrics plus a few other favorites that we have done for clients lately. Beautiful fabrics in your home are like adding artwork in your home. It makes your heart flutter to be near something so gorgeous.You may also like to know that we do our own custom made sofas to our clients specifications as well as reupholstering much loved pieces like this sofa i have just had recovered in my most favorite Raoul fabric. I saw this fabric in their showroom in Santa Barbara and knew i had to use it and i am very happy with the result.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaYf2eJPoixL76XnIaEzvZL8YdzEYBzhzC5gStGm5F8Tn9gCPRfTeyLQ8fXC8y2ZVsLznlyqbJ3vfqAUUlRX3KC1x4xw-NbfHnHtMBRChy0opbP7TNje8l0lNWKqmVKiFrTLuzDLvUmPi3/s1600/IMG_3623.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;
