VeganEtsy Team Contribution for the FARM Auction

Sadly, Jessi and I cannot attend the Animal Rights Conference in Washington D.C. this year. So when Cindi Saadi of FARM USA wrote to the VeganEtsy Team seeking auction contributions, I knew this was a chance to be there in spirit. Besides, it's a great cause and the team is generous and jumps at the chance to help educate, outreach and save animals.

With only a very small window with which to seek contributions, some of the team members sent in contributions on an individual basis. (Would LOVE to see some of those items! hint hint)  Even with the time crunch, the team pulled together and got their items in to me. Even as far away as Wales, UK! (Thanks to our very own 'zine project contributor, Kim Shay)

Here are a few of these items. Oh! By the way, Starrlight Jewelry wins for best smelling contribution. As part of her contribution, she included Kona Coffee from Hawaii! 

My, oh, my, I almost couldn't resist! As the team leader, Starrlight also sent in a small VeganEtsy team promo package and a Team Sampler Package which included items like a "vegan" patch, bracelets and pins. She also included a beautiful hand painted cameo necklace.Who wouldn't look amazing in that? (I'm sorry I didn't take individual photos! The items contributed are high quality crafts! People will be excited for this prize!)

MidnightRabbits/Veganessa sent in a fabulous purse, which my husband aptly named "The Wookie Purse"! It was the perfect container for all of the contributions to be presented in! (see the last photo). She also included a lovely pair of red heart dangley (what? YES! That is a word) earrings. I also received 2 very pretty pins from MVegan5 to add to our collection (Also a 'zine project contributor)!

Other items included in this fabulous team contribution auction bag are:

• A gorgeous Japanese Temari Ball by CraftyPanties,
• The awesome It's a Vegan Dog's Life Book, by VeganDogsLife, 
• A very cool veggie magnet set by RadicalFringe
•  Sweet Organic Cotton Pin Set & beautiful bracelet by VeganCraftastic
• And last but not least...A FABULOUS 'Zine Gift Pack which includes all 3 issues of Peace To All Creatures and The Peace 'Zine Logo Necklace by GingerCardCo and ÜberDuperCreations!

If you are lucky enough (smart enough) to be attending this year's Animal Rights Conference, I recommend attending the Saturday Night Banquet (Pre-register!!). And definitely stay for the auction afterward, or at least for some of it. It can get long, but I'm sure there will be some surprises and a lot of fun. Also, you won't be sorry for taking advantage of the free snack offerings (Scroll to the bottom) (Check your program for times on snacks). 


~Peace!

(Oh, FYI, This entire contribution, not counting all the shipping contributors paid, is worth around $250 dollars! GO TEAM!)
