When I was a little girl, I spent most of my weekly allowance on a rose for my mom, Rose-Marie.

My mother was the type of person whose arms open in a full embrace for those in need of comfort, support or a good laugh. When I was young, we may not have had much, but we always had enough to share with those in need.

My mom recently lost her battle with stage 4 breast cancer. Vases for Rose is my effort to carry my mom's generosity--and keep giving back to the community even though she is gone.

Donations and profits from vases sold will be help fund pottery classes for single parents and their children.
