Welcome Back to another fine Thursday!
Today started with a random winner of Linda Hardy's Heart Art. To visit that post click here. Many thanks for the excellent turn out! It is your interest in these giveaways that keeps them coming.
By now you have probably heard about the Etsy shop Hearts For Haiti
Sellers are donating a variety of items. 100% of proceeds from sales (after Etsy & paypal fees are paid) goes to Doctors Without Borders. Hearts For Haiti opened 2 weeks ago today. As of last night they have made $20,479.16 dollars for DWB.
Please note this shop is run entirely by volunteers - I'd like to take a minute to thank them for everything they've done to set up and keep this fine shop running. Also thanks to all who have donated & shopped in this fantastic online store.
While shopping at Hearts for Haiti, I purchased the cutest faux-vintage papers. Click Here to see the sold listing, which has item details. They were donated by Etsy Seller stton.
sston is another shop well worth checking out, by the way.
It is choc-ful of fun & affordable artsy supplies
I then contacted Teresa of sston to see if she would offer a couple of the papers for a Thursday Giveaway. She generously decided to donate a full set of 5 Curious Heart Paper Goods to be the newest prize!
These papers are perfect for jazzing up bottles, journals, valentines cards and other fun stuff! Each measures approximately 4" x 5.5" (a bit more or less depending on which paper).
On 2/11 one lucky winner will win the random drawing. To enter, simply leave a comment on this blog before 1 a.m. (EST) on Feb 11th. I'll announce the winner later that day. It is that easy! Contest is open worldwide with free shipping to winner.

That is an amazing amount of money already raised. I haven't checked that out on etsy yet, off to browse the listings. That paper is super cool, I can see why you bought it!
ReplyDeletehow very cool. off to check it out.
ReplyDeleteAre ya kidding? I think we all want these!
ReplyDeleteI have sent a small contribution to hopeforhaitinow, hoping that every little bit helps. They use all the money, nothing even goes toward administration.
I've looked through hearts for haiti on Etsy but how do you know it's for real? I hate to sound boring and mean, but mainly I just want "proof" that what they say is true and I really wish Etsy could have sanctioned a shop like that and removed all their fees.
These are funny and authentice looking - love them. I have checked the Haiti website but will go back again.
ReplyDeleteI can understand your point Maria-Terese. Here's the latest info I found:
ReplyDeleteHere is the linkto the 2nd check Hearts for Haiti has sent to Doctors without Borders for $13,000
Hope this helps
Also, Etsy has interview the founder of the shop in the storque
