Motive Votives

During my visit to the Deltaville Farmer's Market, 

I came across a vendor selling cute votive candle holders in an array of colors and patterns.  

Speaking with one of the women working the booth, 

I learned that these votives were made by homeless veterans 

and that a portion of the proceeds went to helping them.

We of course purchased 4.

(And looking at this photo I'm wishing I purchased more- like the patriotic ones. 

Hopefully they have a booth at Heritage Days this weekend!)

Information on the business card:
