Black Friday to Cyber Monday Sale (Turkey Tush Photo too!)

Sale at my shop! 30 % off the Christmas and Vintage Giftware sections. Prices are already lowered. It's fun. Really.

For some reason, this guy didn't want his face photographed but had no problem having his tail feathers featured. :)



HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Proud Supporter of the Minneapolis Art Hunt by William Hessian!

I am so excited! This weekend is the Minneapolis Art Hunt. Hessian, a local, has gone to different cities and put on different art hunts for families. He paints itty bitty little paintings, then hides them in city parks. He gives clues and you keep the painting you find, plus a prize!

So find one of his paintings (I think I'm the octopus with the horseshoe, if I understand correctly!) and win a $25 gift certificate to my main etsy shop, shipping and handling included. I'm so excited!
It's such a great combination of things I love: art, nature, parks, city history, hunts, treasures, community, family, the number 35, octopis...

I hope to be able to meet up with him on Sunday afternoon when he takes a break to do art in the park...We are hoping to spend some time with Grandpa soon, who has recovered some but is still not doing great. Plans are a little iffy! But if you are in Minneapolis, check this out.

I Found a Hurricane Ike Pup to Love...

About 2 weeks ago, the Golden Valley, MN ASPCA started bringing up displaced shelter dogs from Hurricane Ike. By the time they bring them all up here, about 140 will have another chance at a good home.

I am in love with this girl up there!! She's so cute. Her name is Indy! I think it's kind of cool because Indy was named after a dog and in the new movie (comes out today on DVD!!!), he tells the Russians 'I like Ike!'. This is how my brain works. She would be The One, if I could rescue a dog.

I have no fence though and that's just asking for major trouble with a beagle/lab mix. Look at those *eyes*. *sigh*. Maybe I can go out and play with her someday though.

Ok I love all the dogs at the shelter:).

If we ever get another dog, we need one that likes to be herded....

Post Script...one of my favorite tv shows is the series on Animal Planet with Animal Cops (there are a bunch, different names). I recently found out that the one they are working on now is about the St Paul K-9 cops! They're located not too far from me, so it will be cool to watch. :)
