I am cozy back in my home.  After a 2 week trip back east and to Washington D.C., it’s nice to be home.  It was an informative, fun, grandbaby kissing, touristing, kind of trip and it was a blast!  I have never been that far east, so I was soaking in everything I possibly could.  Pictures to come soon.  I am enjoying the warm weather as long as I can, her in the desert.  Because all too soon, I won’t be able to enjoy the pool and wearing flip flops for too much longer.

The REAL reason I am writing this post is all about helping animal shelters.  Did you know that some thrift stores in your town help fund sheltered animals?  I didn’t either. I found out last year when I participated in the very first Thrift Benefit for Sheltered Animals.  What a great cause, right?

This past weekend over 10+ bloggers shopped at their local thrift stores to help with the Thrift Benefit for Sheltered animals.  We shopped for anything creative we could find, with a DIY project in mind.  I have my loot and I am excited to show you what I found. (I did share 3 tiny items I found on Instagram) BUT, the rest will have to wait until the link party.

On October 14th each of us will share what we found and our DIY projects made from thrift finds for the 2nd Annual Thrift Benefit for Sheltered Animals.  How exciting is that???

I will have more details soon, but until then, take a minute and Google Animal Shelter Thrift Shops in your town, county or city.  Head on over there and help support YOUR local animal shelters by purchasing thrifted goods.

All this week I will be getting ready for the 2nd Annual Thrift Benefit for Sheltered Animals and choosing pictures from my trip to share with YOU.
