I donated some of my Grammy’s Tropical Brooches to the AWBAR Gift Basket Raffle. If you go to the AWBAR website or AWBAR blog, you can see that it is included in the middle basket. You can also see all the items included here.
Abandoned Wild Babies Animal Rescue (AWBAR) is operator and owner, Amanda Smith, who rehabilitates ducks, raccoons, squirrels, opossums, rabbits, small birds and other small animals. The organization operates solely on private donations. AWBAR is NOT a non for profit organization nor is AWBAR attached to any other organization. This is out of love we have for animals.
You can purchase one raffle ticket for $1 or six raffle tickets for $5.

You can help by contributing to the LacyFund, adopting one of Lacy Love’s pups, and by sharing this story to your friends.

Carrie at the lunastar shop on etsy is fund raising for her cockapoo Lacy Love who is now a mother of eight puppies.
Unfortunately, Lacy Love had seizures from Eclampsia just 4 hours after delivery. Carrie had to rush her to the ER vet. They gave her the medicine she needed to save her life but could not give an RX for continued care as Carrie could not afford the expense. Lacy Love is still at risk as she sits panting and her heart racing and with a fever of 104.
Eclampsia is called “milk fever” because the calcium has been depleted so badly from the body that she is unable to uptake any oral replacement. So, she needs calcium shots. Her heart races because calcium is one of the minerals that regulates the heart beat.
Carrie has been feeding Lacy Love tums and cottage cheese as prescribed by the vet and stays up with Lacy Love all night.
She essentially needs a real vet to give continued care and to get an RX for the calcium she needs after a blood draw. She only received emergency care the 2 nights post seizure event. Lacy Love was turned away by two vet clinics already because of the “pay up front” requirement.
Currently, Lacy Love’s puppies are being hand fed by Carrie’s mother to keep the puppies from feeding from Lacy Love. The puppies are a cocker spaniel, poodle, chihuahua. They are white with black cow spots and are expected to grow to no more than 18 pounds.
You can read more about Carrie’s story at her shop and in the forums.
I’ve been hard at work posting various information on the EFA blog. There, you can find features on EFA members, friends of the animals, and items available at the EFA shop.
My In Bloom Flowers have been featured in the Celebration for the Animals Treasury, which also features items from the EFA shop, where all proceeds less transaction costs will be donated to the EFA Charity of the Month.
I have no craft room and that is making me just about insane. Recently, etsyBloggers hosted a blog carnival titled “Our Crafting Spaces”. I had nothing to say to that except that it drove me even more nuts because I have no craft room! Since then, I haven’t gotten the strength to participate in anymore blog carnivals but I am trying to get the courage.
Glamorrosi sent a little shout out to Tantalizing Stitches for the online collage I created, which featured her Vintage Lucite Rose Earrings. Thanks so much!
The EFA store is now open! I have been so busy with vacation in Thailand and the Etsy For Animals Street Team (EFA) that I have not had time for my own shop. Despite this, I really love working on the EFA projects because I can see first hand how many people actually care about the welfare of animals. It is an exciting experience. If you would like to help, join the EFA Street Team, and then join the EFA yahoo group to find out what projects are going on at EFA.
