This was a very cute and fun experience. My sister and mom surprised me for my birthday to go make bracelets. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty empty with only one other group. It's such a beautiful space and kind of reminds me of Cake Bake. There were so many colors of beads to choose from but the charm selection could have used a restock. We had a nice time enjoying the atmosphere and chatting. We all loved our finished bracelets and paid roughly $75 for 3 bracelets. Part of the proceeds of each bracelet went to a charitable organization from a a few options provided that we were each able to choose which organization. Over all it was a great experience and I cant wait to visit with my daughter. read more

I don't know if it's possible to fall in love with a retail store, however, that may have accidentally happened today while I was dining at the nearby Ford's Garage. I happened to be looking out at the green area in the middle of Hamilton Town Center and noticed a sign that said "philanthropic jewelry." Curiosity piqued. I had a little time after wrapping up lunch before my conference would start up again. So, I took a few minutes to introduce myself to HopeAnchor & Crew, a philanthropic jewelry store and non-profit organization smack dab in the middle of Hamilton Town Center. HopeAnchor & Crew was founded "on the belief that Hope anchors our souls and our communities." For those of you who know my activism, including my recent Tenderness Tour, you know that this drew me in. Started by the Schloss Family, HopeAnchor has become a 501c3 non-profit and jewelry brand/studio. Our Philanthropic Jewelry Is Created By the Very Hands We Seek To Serve In Our Community & Residential Fellowships HopeAnchor & Crew was founded on the belief that Hope anchors our souls & our communities. The mission of HopeAnchor "is to empower women to live full balanced lives while creating handmade Philanthropic Jewelry that shines light & gives back 15% to local & global causes." Each piece of jewelry, like each woman, has a unique design, purpose, and story. I'm a sucker for acts of meaningful creativity. I'm a sucker for non-profits. So, this simply decorated but welcoming little store kind of won my heart. It's worth noting that this is directly next to the Hamilton Town Center green area. there's a gentle incline to get up to the door. The front door is fairly light and the store itself has lots of room and was easily wheelchair friendly. The young woman working could tell this was a first-time visit for me and enthusiastically shared the story of HopeAnchor in a way that was warm without feeling like a hard-sell. I found several bracelets that were cool. Truthfully, I really wanted to stick around and make a "tenderness" bracelet. However, I was on a schedule due to conference obligations and needed to get back. However, there's almost no doubt I'll be back in the near future to finish that transaction. There's a lot to love here and a great mission alongside it. The products are quality and meaningful. The employee was friendly. The atmosphere is warm and welcome. The mission is vital. Lots of winners here and here's hoping this little gem picks up the crowd it deserves here at Hamilton Town Center. read more

I hosted an event at HopeAnchor & Crew and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Lindsay and her entire team. I was a bit overwhelmed setting up and despite doing my best to bring everything I needed, I inevitably forgot a few crucial items. The moment I arrived, Lindsay and her team jumped right in to support me. From helping clean up an accidental spill to lending their expertise with décor and setup, they went above and beyond in every way. Lindsay was selfless, kind, and incredibly supportive and I'm so, so grateful for her and her team. Our guests raved about how beautiful the space was and how seamless everything felt. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are beyond thankful for Lindsay and her entire team for being so thoughtful, accommodating, and genuinely kind. HopeAnchor & Crew is a gem, the bracelets are gorgeous, the mission is beautiful and so are the people behind it! read more
