I was speechless over the support given to me by the artisan community when I had my traffic collision- and now when I see these posts I do what I can for them- perhaps a little more than I usually would.
People often consider these sorts of things tacky; I can't see how. People like to support each other, and sometimes the only way you can do that is through money. That necessity of daily life, that which comes easy to some but not to others, that which is so unevenly distributed throughout the world and provides such a burden on the mind no matter how much you do or don't have. And to have that burden released at a time when the head and heart are heavy enough, that is something good.

glad you are sharing. tacky? hmmm. i agree that i cannot see how. we have fundraisers constantly in my community. we have to survive one way or another and the help of a close-knit close-to-home or far-reaching community can make a difference. xoxo
Thank you so much for spreading the word, Sparrow!
Not sure why anyone would could support for another tacky, but you are correct. The artisan community is a special bond of people.
thanks for sharing Penny :)
glad to have been able to help

Oh my goodness, are you always on holiday!? I found, through the glories of pinterest, a post of yours from July. In said post you were on holiday and taking pictures of your bird. I go to your etsy site and what do I find? You are on vacay again! This is not fair. Life is not fair. No, wait, the sun is out! You are forgiven.
the only ppl who could think it tacky have never lived in need. never not one day.
i send hugs.
