Friday, August 27th, 2010

 

 

  

Lowcountry Orphan Relief sends big hugs and kisses and plenty of grateful thank you’s to Virginia Teal and her daughter, Annie Star Teal for donating items to us from their wonderful shop, The Wrinkled Egg, in Flat Rock, N.C.  They loaded Lynn’s trailer up with boxes of beautiful, colorful backpacks, suitcases, shorts of all colors and sizes, awesome shirts, and drawing materials. Peggy and Herb Thornton and Jerry Young helped load up the trailer. What a wonderful donation and what big hearts they have for all of our abused and neglected children.

Anytime you are in Flat Rock, N.C., go by The Wrinkled Egg for just the wonderment of their store and the wonderful things they sell.  They are on Highway 25 out of Hendersonville, N.C. and grab some good food too.  Blessings to you, Virginia and Annie, and the GREAT EGG!!!
