Paws for a Cause

I swear, Etsy has some of the coolest online peeps. The talent is pretty evident in most shops. You just see what people are making and think “wow.” But talent isn’t the only thing you find.

You find people with heart.

I was looking at the Details by Karlita shop and oohing and ahhing over her colorful felt creations. I wanted a felt flower. The colors were calling to me.

But then I saw it. A paw pin.

And I read the listing. It was about animal abuse and saving a doggie.

I’m a sucka for dogs.

So of course I got the pin. And Karlita sent me details on the doggie that was currently in need – Rocky.

I gave the pin to munchkin and we put it on his backpack. He loved it. And then we talked a little about animal abuse and how sad and horrible it is.

Karlita has a section in her shop called Save a Pet and proceeds of your purchase go to help animals in Puerto Rico, where she lives. How cool is that? And right now, she has paw ornaments that are oh-so-cute. Perfect for your Christmas tree or as a gift for the animal lover in your life!

    This is such a great feature, I’ve had the benefit of getting to know Karla while doing some design work for her. She is such a sweetheart, and you’re right, she’s got some pretty amazing talent.

    Very sweet of you to feature DetailsByKarlits and her SaveAPet charity, Tina!

    Love, Kat

    Wow…I am sooo speechless!
    What can I say? Im a sucka for dogs too! ;)
    Its so nice to know I can count on people like you, who feel compasion and love for animals and who really want to support causes like mine. Not so many people are like that, that is why there is soo much animal cruelty going on here.
    Again, thank you sooo much, you have no idea how happy this blog made me, and like I wrote on facebook: “Comments like these are what gives me strength and motivation to keep on doing many more things! Tina, thanks so much for dedicating this beautiful blog to me, I deeply apppreaciate it”
    And also thanks to Kippy, Ivy, Kat and Sharon for those beautiful compliments, you really made my night!
    Love,
    Karlita <3
