WY LIVINGSTON AND WYSTONE’S WORLD TEAS—OUR NOVEMBER BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Jessica met Wy Livingston several years ago after being approached by her PR person to collaborate on a Doll Tea Party at Wystone’s World Teas. Since then, DfD has been holding their annual tea parties at Wystone’s to collect new dolls for the annual toy shop. “Wy is an amazing person, friend and supporter,” says Jessica. We recently asked Wy to tell us more about what it means to support Dolls for Daughters®.

It’s been four years now.

3. What is your most memorable experience supporting Dolls for Daughters®?
