Violet and Red Flowers on Beige Dog Collar by ShortcakeDesigns

The wonderful flower and vine pattern of this fabric remind me of harvest time in the garden. I just love this collar because while you give your furry friend a new look you also recycle, reuse and help provide for homeless animals!

All profits from the sale of this collar will be given to Team EFA charity of the month. 10% of sales from all other items in my store are donated to local and or national animal rescue organizations, such as the Iowa City Animal Center and the National Mill Dog Rescue.

Gold, Cream Butterfly Charm Bracelet by JewelryByScotti

We recently had several lantana bushes planted in our yard. These lovely shrubs are known as "butterfly bushes" because they attract butterflies. I decided to enter this Butterfly Charm Bracelet by JewelryByScotti in the monthly challenge for that reason.

I also travel to elementary schools to share what I know about wolves and big cats, based on the two children's books I wrote on those subjects.
