Breast Cancer Awareness Month Promotion

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

The American Cancer Society's most recent estimates for breast cancer in the United States are for 2009:

• about 192,370 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women

• about 62,280 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) will be diagnosed (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).

• about 40,170 women will die from breast cancer

All of us know someone whose life has been touched by cancer...probably most of us know a strong courageous woman (or man) who has battled breast cancer. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Creative Muse Floral Design is offering a beautiful custom vase arrangement we're calling "Tough Girl." The "Tough Girl" arrangement is artfully designed in a modern rectangular vase. Flowers include gerbera daisies, roses, alstroemeria, and other lush flowers and botanicals in shades of pink. Each arrangement includes one of our handcrafted Tough Girl Soy and Loofah Soaps. For the entire month of October we will donate 20% of each one sold to Vermont's Cancer Patient Support Program. Give one to a strong survivor, in memory of a loved one or friend, or simply to recognize any "Tough Girl" in your life.

This is a truly unique gift that keeps on giving in so many important ways.
