Why We Give Back

At Avec Paulette, giving back is stitched into who we are. This shop was created not only from a love of needlepoint, but from a belief that beauty should serve a purpose beyond itself. Inspired by Paulette’s service in the military and her lifelong care for others, we carry forward her conviction that our choices matter — and that we each have a responsibility to stand for those who cannot.

From the beginning, we’ve envisioned Avec Paulette as more than a marketplace. It is a place where sustainability and creativity intersect, and where care extends outward — into our communities, our environment, and our shared future.

That’s why we’ve chosen to support two organizations that reflect these values:

🌿 National Park Foundation — preserving the beauty of our shared landscapes, ensuring that parks remain places of wonder and refuge for generations to come.

🤱 Every Mother Counts — working globally to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere, by improving access to essential care.

Through these partnerships, every canvas purchased or consigned with Avec Paulette becomes part of a larger story — one of protecting beauty and protecting lives.

When you shop with us, you’re not just participating in resale. You’re joining a community that believes in care, responsibility, and hope. Together, we can keep beauty — and compassion — in motion.
