Devy Walker, owner of About Face, with CeCe Peniston

Last Thursday, About Face Boutique hosted a special event to raise money for “Purses and Love” (P.A.L.), a local organization helping kids give filled purses as gifts to their mothers throughout Arizona and Mexico. The evening included a special performance by recording artist, CeCe Peniston, and a silent auction (with even a $900 Prada purse – wow!). The auction raised over $4000 dollars for the volunteer-based charity.  Here are some pictures by Andrew Thurston from the event. If you want to help Purses and Love, stop by About Face in Scottsdale this Thursday, April 20th from 3 – 6 .m. for their purse stuffing party!
