Friday Features

Welcome to the first Friday Features for 2011! Today's features are from some of my Etsy Angel's teammates. This month the Etsy Angels are donating a portion of our sales to Ouachita River Valley Animal League (ORVAL) in Louisiana. The organization began in 1995 with the promise of trying to make the local shelter a better place by reducing the number of pets euthanized and by giving them resources and products to make the pets more comfortable during their limited time at the shelter. ORVAL quickly realized that a lot of animals were being surrendered because their owners could not afford vet bills. ORVAL then decided to add Vet Assistance to the list of services. Along with vet assistance, ORVAL also has a foster program to try to give pets, from the shelter, a longer and better chance of getting adopted.

My shop, BeadedTail, is donating 25% of all sales to ORVAL. You can see the list of Etsy Angels and their donation intentions on our team blog.

I hope you enjoy my picks!

Making Tails Wag One Bead At A Time!

We're here today because the current EtsyBloggers blog carnival is for Mommy to post about her recent accomplishments. Well, our mommy doesn't like tooting her own horn so we're going to tell you some of her accomplishments on her behalf.

As many of you know, our mommy makes and sells beaded jewelry on Etsy in her BeadedTail shop. Well, last month a purchase by Delilah from The Monkeys was her 125th sale! We think this is a great accomplishment! She gets just as excited with each sale as she did with the first sale way back in March 2008. Thanks Delilah for helping her hit this milestone!

Since Mommy started making and selling jewelry on Etsy, she's contributed $1,200 from her BeadedTail sales to animal and human charities. Contributing to charity was the reason she opened her shop so we're thankful to her customers for helping her help charities!

In addition to being a member of the EtsyBloggers, she's also a member of the Etsy Angels which is another wonderful team that has fundraisers every other month in which they donate a portion of their sales to team member's chosen charity. Well, last month the charity was one that Mommy chose - Chintimini Wildlife Rehab Center. At the end of the month, the Etsy Angels had 171 sales and raised $311.10 for Chintimini! We are all very thankful for each Angel who participated!

We are glad to have this chance to toot Mommy's horn since normally the only tootin' around our house is done by Sadie!

Hope you have a great Thursday!

♥Etsy Angels ANSWER THE CALL in March

I am a member of the Etsy Angels team and we have bi-monthly fundraising events for deserving charities. For March, we are raising funds for the Answer the Call - New York City Police and Fire Widows' & Children's Benefit Fund. This information was prepared by Annie from MyMiniMocs.

The “Answer The Call” fund was established in 1985 to give financial comfort to the spouses & children of the New York City firefighters and police offices who lost their lives in the line of duty.

Within 15 minutes both of the World Trade Center towers were intentionally struck by aircraft. We knew as a country we had been attacked. While thousands of people rushed to leave the burning buildings, hundreds of first responders answered the call and rushed into the inferno to help save those they could.

On September 11th 2001 - 343 New York City Firefighters, 23 New York City Police Officers, 37 Port Authority Police Officers and 15 EMT Personal were killed in a horrific act of terrorism. The families, spouses & children of these heroes are left to carry on after this senseless & catastrophic attack.

The Answer the Call fund has depended on the generosity of citizens for its funding since its inception in 1985. In 1987 the fund provided 320 families with annual financial assistance. After 9/11 their efforts expanded to include the families of Port Authority officers and EMS. By 2008, they made the same annual financial commitment to nearly 700 families.

Don’t let the words “We Will Never Forget” become a cliché or a passing thought – please won’t you Answer the Call to help the families of those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice without question or hesitation.

During the month of March, the Etsy Angels team will be helping to raise money for the Answer the Call fund. You can help in three ways:

1) by donating all or a portion of the proceeds from sales you make as an Etsy shop owner,

2) by making purchases from the participating shops or

3) by making a monetary contribution to a paypal account that will be set up to collect the funds for this months drive.

Please remember that even small donations when combined with others can make a difference.

The families of these heroes still need our help we need to show them

We Will Never Forget.
