Grab Bag Day! Purses by Donation!

April 21, 2026

Thank you to all of you who made our Purses with Purpose online auction a success!

Due to overwhelming donations from our community, we were not able to showcase all the purses in the online auction, so we have decided to have a Grab Bag Day at our office.

Did you miss the silent auction, or couldn’t find a bag you liked? This is your chance!

Come in and browse our purses that can be yours by donation! Cash only!

What: Grab Bag Day

When: Tuesday, April 28th, 9 am – 5 pm.

Where: 125B #100 Rainbow Road, Salt Spring Island

The Purses with Purpose auction was sponsored by:  Bohemia Consignment, Rhubarb Designs, POD Contemporary, Mouat’s Clothing, Twang and Pearl, Fjällräven Victoria, Osisi Boutique and Country Grocer
