Haiti Relief: Compassion and Generosity on Etsy



Handpicked on Etsy
Moved by the horrendous disaster in Haiti earlier this week, Etsy artists have joined in the effort to raise funds for relief. The first two showcased items are being donated from my own stores, and many independent sellers are doing likewise. Other sellers are participating in group efforts such as HeartsforHaiti. There are beautiful creations in all categories and at all price ranges to be found on Etsy's search pages, using the search term "Haiti" or "Haiti relief." We can all participate with our purchases and our donations. Click on the pictures to go directly to these Etsy listings. Prices range from $6.50 to $45.00

The Heart in Art on Etsy: Creative Giving


Handpicked on Etsy
Today's 'potpourri' showcase is about beauty emanating from hand and heart. These Etsy artists are but a few among many who combine their artistic skills with the spirit of giving to benefit those in need, donating all or part of their proceeds to worthy causes from cancer or autism research to child or animal welfare. Browsing Etsy's search pages, I was inspired by generous artisans working in a broad range of media and styles, working independently or in teams to raise funds for charity. Please click on the pictures to visit these Etsy stores and learn more. Prices range from $4.00 to $200.00.
