Yummy yummy! Long snakey organic mice in my tummy! Every cat deserves a Snakey Mouse for Christmas. A treat by catcalls that will last for a looong time into next year. Filled with fresh, potent, organic catnip, it's sure to entertain both kitty AND you!

I am involved with EFA as the tweeter for @Etsy4Animals tweeting news of importance as well as tweeting listings that are shared on the forum. I also support The Feral Cat Rescue in Oregon whenever possible.

Retro Blanket by BarkingDogBlanket


What a treat for your furry one to cozy up with this retro blanket all to themselves. They will love you for pampering them so with this treat from BarkingDogBlanket! I was gifted both of these fabrics and just fell in love with them. Could not wait to make a blanket for some lucky furry one.

My blankets are sold online on etsy and at several pet boutiques here on Oahu.

I donate 10% of all sales and then some to our local Hawaiian Humane Society and OahuSPCA plus every month I send a little love to our Team COTM. Every little bit helps!

I have lately been doing more behind the scenes help at our shelters in addition to the donations. I designed and made kennel covers for the off site adoption kennels and a wind block for the bunny hutch to keep the bunnies protected from the gusty wind. Recently a local high school student asked if she could mentor with me ; ) she is designing sustainable doggie toys and we plan on selling them at the shelter with 100% proceeds to our local OahuSPCA.

Coffee Fairy Birthday Card by FairyCardmaker


This birthday card by FairyCardmaker is perfect for the coffee lover in your life or workplace. Who wouldn't want to treat themselves to a little extra cream? Especially on your birthday! 10% of this hand-coloured fairy birthday card will be donated to the Southern Ontario Animal Rescue (SOAR), which is a small Canadian dog rescue and foster care charity.

I teach cardmaking and paper crafting workshops as fundraisers for SOAR. In 2011, my workshops raised just over $100 for this little charity and my creative crew also donated their handmade holiday cards for SOAR to use this season.

Corduroy Dog Collar by davir


This Wintertime corduroy collar and leash set by davir is perfect for the holidays. The softness of dark blue corduroy and the white hearts remind us of snowflakes and Christmas time.

I try to do my best in my home and participate in dog rescue programs. I especially support the Pumi Rescue Service, because I have two of this breed (Pocok and Juharka, a boy and a girl).

Creamy Caramel Dog Hat by jessicalynneart




Treat your dog to a warm, toasty winter and yourself to a laugh or two with the Creamy Caramel Dog Hat by jessicalynneart. Our "cousin," Doodles the Shih Tzu models her own caramel hat and enjoys talking long walks in the snow as it keeps her ears away from the cold winds of New England.

I am the Challenge Blog volunteer for Team EFA and donate $1 from every order in my shop to the Pug Rescue of New England, the MSPCA, and other New England animal shelters. Last month I was ecstatic to be able to donate $100 to animal shelters and rescues thanks to all of my wonderful customers on Etsy.

Jourdan Springer Spaniel Dog Art Magnet by terikor


Dogs and cats love treats and toys, but what are they to do when their human mom forgets to buy the goodies for them? To help them remember it is a great idea to have a refrigerator magnet all set and ready to hold your furry companions shopping list. Cori’s Pawtraits makes an assortment of magnets to choose from. This magnet is called Jourdan and features a lovely Springer Spaniel who looks like he is reminding or saying don’t forget my treats please. The magnet is accented with a luscious red.

The charity designated for this magnet is Old Dog Haven. They specialize in rescuing dogs of all ages especially those that are senior citizens. All dogs need a safe haven but seniors need it more then ever because they cannot always be re-homed.

Blessed Bunny Bundle of Organic Treats by brizel4TheAnimals


Pruning season is about to begin here at Twilight... Hooray for the bunnies and this Blessed Bunny Bundle by brizel4TheAnimals is just the Nirvana ticket for those hares of yours...

Offering up an array of fresh organic treats sure to please those buns:

21 oz of gourmet apple wood chew sticks
03 oz freshly picked rosemary sprigs
plus
01 plastic bunny, which the human gets to keep.

The apple wood gnawers measure between 7-8" long and their thickness will vary between 1/8" to 7/8" (I hand cut & create an assortment of different sizes for each order!) The fresh rosemary sprigs will also measure approx 7-8" and you may even see some yummy tasting flowers attached to these green twigs since the rosemary bushes begin to bloom at this time of year ! and the plastic bunny will arrive in one of these variable colors: orange, pink, purple, yellow, green or blue !

***

I own some 20 acres up in the mountains where I have planted orchards and floral gardens. Personal funds are put towards helping to sustain this habitat which attracts birds, butterflies, bees, bats, hummingbirds... and it is also a seasonal mating ground for dragonflies ! Twilight is part of a 2,000 acre ranch out in the chaparral wilderness where wild animals still roam.

I provide a home for my animal rescues, create & maintain habitat for wildlife to prosper, support animal welfare through petition & animal advocacy work, donate 10% of my Silk Tapestry Art Box sales to EFA's Charity of the Month, and promote & support Team EFA members through Etsy Treasuries & the EFA blog. I am also Team Captain, Membership & COTM Leader & Blog Editor for Team EFA !
