Pet Sympathy Gift Set by ScrappyRat's Shop


It's important to let friends or family members who have lost an animal companion know that we understand the depth of their grief. It's easy to feel alone when anyone close to us dies, but when it's a pet, not everyone we encounter will be as understanding as we need them to be. This is a small gift that helps them know that your compassionate thoughts are with them and their pet who has passed on.
The artist does her best to help animals as a foster for Carolina Pet Rescue and through her donations of handmade stationery items and copies of her cookbook for dogs, so they may use them for fundraising. She regularly donates to the vegan sample bags fundraiser for animal charities, among many others.

Elegant Chinese Crested Cards, Set of 6 by Scrappyrat's Shop


This is a particularly elegant set of cards, sparkling with complex gilded designs in gold glitter, enhanced with creative ephemera of all kinds.

Scout's on Watch Oil Painting by KneeDeepOriginals


Nothing gets past a cat! They are so observant, ever on the alert for movement, comings and goings, the footsteps of friends and strangers, the sound of a can opener.

This is a 12 x 16 oil on canvas of a relaxed but very observant cat... which they need to be when Halloween rolls around. And they need to be INSIDE since too many bad things have happened to cats on Halloween.

These 5 black cat tags that would look great on halloween gifts/cards, or on a birthday gift for your favorite spooky friend! They could also be used for scrapbooking or card making.

This tags measure about 2.5 inches tall by 1.5 inches wide. Each tag is made of orange cardstock and features a glittery foam black cat.
