I donate at least $1 from every item sold to The Pug Rescue of New England or the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The pug rescue helped me adopt my pug, James Dean, who inspired my artwork and made me see that my calling is to help other animals like him who need homes by donating money to rescues.

100% of the sale of this painting ($20) will be donated to EFA's charity-of-the-month, the Tranquility Trail Animal Sanctuary! I love to support animal charities and am excited to donate the sale of this painting to this month's charity. I have been an animal welfare supporter for many years and have been bringing stray animals home since I was a child. I currently have two dogs and five cats, most of them are rescues. One of my most exciting volunteer positions was helping save the Gulf Breeze Wayside cats three years ago. There was a colony of nearly 50 feral cats who lived at the Wayside Park in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The city council made the decision to remove all the cats to clean up the park. All of the cats were scheduled to be picked up, taken to the pound and destroyed when a group of concerned citizens got together and over three months were able to capture, vet-check, vaccinate and spay/neuter all of the cats and find them homes. Every single one of the cats was rescued and adopted out! My contribution to this effort was setting up, maintaining and donating the cost of the wayside cats website that helped all of the cats find homes. This was the most rewarding and meaningful volunteer effort I have ever been a part of!

I fill with only catnip (no cotton filler or other sort of stuffing) and use Cosmic Catnip (a brand of super-potent catnip available at lots of pet stores).

I Loved a Narwhal by Scarlettbfox's Shop

Heart Strings - Urban Sea Glass Pendant by Lolalynn's Shop

This pale green heart shaped pendant is made from "Urban Sea Glass". The term was coined by a New York Times Blog reporter when he talked about finding sea glass on the shores of New York City's East River. I had been making jewelry from glass I had picked up from the river and when he googled "East River Sea Glass" he found me. He interviewed me for his article and I got a nice mention in his blog: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/17/making-jewelry-from-east-river-glass/ Sea glass gathered from the East River is not as smooth and as rounded as glass found in other locations. Unlike other beaches where sand is constantly fine tuning the glass, the East River is lined with mostly pebbles and large rocks. A lot of what I pick up I recycle but I do manage to glean some pieces that make beautiful pieces like "Heart Strings." 50% of the purchase price of the items from my shop are donated to EFA's charity of the month.

Wine bags by Barkingdogblanket's Shop

Nautical Star Compass Pendant and Necklace by Theclaypony's Shop

One of the most important things to take with you when you go sailing is a compass. I made this nautical pendant out of polymer clay, and painted it maroon with black filigree. In the center of the pendant is a print of my digital drawing of a Nautical Star Compass, which is sealed inside the pendant with a clear resin half sphere that looks like a bubble. The picture in the center magnifies when you tilt it and look at it from different angles. The pendant is 1 1/2" in diameter, and hangs on a 19" dark brown braided cord, which has a lobster clasp closure. 20% of the sale of this necklace will be donated to the Etsy For Animals (EFA) Charity of the Month.

Beach Bag Wet'n'Dry in blue with sailing boats by Lifecovers' Shop

It's a large beach bag (measures approximately 19" x 17" x 4") which has been cleverly divided - one side for dry clothes and the other for wet. It easily accommodates two beach towels and so much more.

I have a long association with cats. I undertook voluntary work when I lived in San Francisco with the SFSPCA and my job title was 'Cat Socialiser and Adoption Counsellor' - I always thought that was too funny! I had one little rescue of my own but since returning to Scotland have adopted two ginger kitties from a wonderful cat shelter nearby that gets no funding other than what they raise themselves. For this reason, I'm working on making a quilt so they can hold a raffle and hopefully raise lots of money. However, one of my handmade quilts takes about a year to make so I hope they can wait.

Notecards Beach Huts Collage by artchicnj's Shop

These notecards were printed from a larger collage made by me. Beach Huts can be found in many places around the country. They are used to store seasonal beach items. Some are even big enough to rent out like a small hotel room... This collage was done using a reference photo. I used to work in Petsmart and every weekend a local group called "SAVE" would bring cats and dogs to the store and hopefully adopt them out. I always gave them a donation of food or cash for the furries. I also try to give to my local shelter when I can.

Waterdogs Card Set of Three by Thebluewindmill's Shop

Cards are blank inside so that a personal message may be added.

This month I am hopefully donating to Guardian Angel's for Soldier's Pet. I've also recently been taking care of a sweet stray cat at the nearby park. (I named him Charlie Chaplin.) I think someone had just dumped him a few weeks ago because he's been declawed and he's in really good shape. Unfortunately, I couldn't take him right now but someone finally adopted him.

Paddling greyhound screenprinted organic cotton tote bag by Thedoghouse's Shop

My rescue greyhound Max loves to paddle, especially in the SEA - sometimes he even goes in for a proper swim, but mostly he just likes a wee paddle, then enjoys running up & down the beach afterwards to dry himself off!

My designs are inspired by greyhound rescue & are screenprinted by hand onto ethically sourced clothing, homeware & accessories by me in my home in Scotland. I donate a portion of my profits to my local greyhound rehoming charity, Gracehounds, http://www.gracehounds.plus.com, with whom I am a volunteer dog walker & fosterer.

Bird Nest Card Set by Thebluewindmill's Shop

This is the momma bird and baby chick surrounded by some watercolor paintings I did.

Chauncey the Jellyfish Necklace by Kskjewelrydesigns' Shop

This jellyfish named Chauncey is in the nest of the sea. He was created as a reminder of how fragile our ocean life is, but also as a positive message of its resilience. The jellyfish shows us how to move in harmony with the natural forces of Mother Earth, the nest of all nests. It is said to symbolize faith and acceptance, and some believe that its transparent form holds the key to true spiritual knowledge.

The artist has spent her life rescuing animals, bringing in, caring for & finding homes for strays. Ten percent of all sales from this shop go to Bat Conservation International in hopes of helping their efforts in fighting white-nose syndrome.
