Update on Mugsy's fund tally


We're just a quarter of the way to our goal folks with 13 days to go!  Thanks to generous purchases by Kristina Conroy of Cincinnati, OH; Bradley Skuya of Minnesota and Gabriella Altaratz from Israel we now have $237 in the bank for Mugsy's operation.  Way to go everyone:)

The holidays are approaching so if you're thinking of what to get for that foodie or candle lover in your life, come browse my stores on Etsy and Zibbet.  And don't forget, if you're just not sure what to get or you don't see what you're looking for I do take custom orders and offer gift certificates.  Remember all proceeds from my shop go to Mugsy's operation until October 18th when he hope to have it done and anything leftover afterwards gets donated to the Coastal Humane Society of Maine.

Holiday shopping for a good cause



Alright!  We're about 1/3 of the way to our goal thanks to a purchase for a friend's birthday by Susan Gaughan of New York City and a generous donation from Leslie Chappell of North Carolina.

Don't forget my candles make great gifts for any occasion and can be made unscented upon request.  I've got some great new holiday candles coming out shortly and of course everything sold in my shop until October 18th will go towards Mugsy's operation so get some holiday shopping done early or pick up a unique gift for an upcoming birthday or anniversary.  Need gifts for Hanukkah?  Drop me a line and I'll see what I can do!  

Or once again you can simply make a donation, whether it's $1, $5, $20 or even $50.  No amount is too great or too small and every penny we get is appreciated.  As always, anything leftover after the operation gets donated to the Coastal Humane Society of Maine.

Fall has arrived and we have a new tally

Good afternoon everyone!

Fall has arrived at last and it promises to be a beautiful weekend.  The new numbers are in and thanks to you all we have cleared our first $100 with a grand total of $140 thanks to the latest candle purchase by Janet Sullivan of New York. We still need $560 for the operation and don't forget, everything we get once the operation is covered is donated to the Coastal Humane Society of Maine. So pester everyone you know, take a look at some of my scrumptious scented candles and get some early holiday shopping done or give up that one cup of coffee to help some furry friends with a donation instead.  You'll be glad you did:)

Have a great weekend!

Fundraising update

Good afternoon everyone!

Your response and show of support for Mugsy has been overwhelming and on behalf of all of us, I say thank you.  Candle orders are pouring in and donations have been picking up.  At this rate, we should make our October 18th deadline with time to spare:)

Now, for some reason Etsy is charging about $8 shipping per item purchased so I'll have to check my settings again.  So if you pay for your order and notice an unusually high shipping rate, please contact me and I'll refund the difference.  Otherwise contact me before payment and I'll recalculate it for you.  Right now USPS Priority shipping for packages are ranging from $7-$15 depending on weight and distance from Maine.

In the meantime, special thanks to everyone sending in donations.  So far we've received $35 from Deborah Ragsdale - Georgia, Kristen McDonald - Hawaii, and Danielle Hendry - Washington.  Current candle orders are pending until payment is received and will be added to the tally.  Please continue to spread the word and thank you again for your generosity:)
