UniqueGrabs: store spotlight




Richard of Uniquegrabs is an active charity supporter. He is the Charity Holder for Etsy for Charity and hosts the EFC website. Richard recently donated a set of six lovely greeting cards. Check them out here!

Richard's passion for creating these gorgeous items started back in his school days and the satisfaction of making people happy that has him going strong. Richards says his inspiration comes from observing beautiful and colorful things in the world. Richard states, "In Singapore, there are many abandoned pets and I feel pity for these animals. So, I will be contributing 10% of my sales to Singapore SPCA and I also try to contribute as much as possible to any charity requests from Etsy members or Etsy teams." Richards adds that he is glad to find Etsy, a place where you can make and sell your crafts and also be able to contribute back to the community.

Black Cats at Midnight

I've never had a black cat. My friend did and I swear that cat caught me off guard and scared me silly more than once. Most of our cats have had light colored fur or some white in their coloring. Even in the dark, I can sense that they are around, because their fur catches even a small glimmer of light. But not Digit. She was beautiful, but in the dark she just blended into the shadows. Kind of eerie.







Black Cats at Midnight can be viewed at:






$1 of the purchase price of every pair of earrings in my shop will be donated to Neighborhood Cats, NYC, a trap-neuter-return program. http://www.neighborhoodcats.org/

terbearco: friend of animals




Terbearco has recently become a friend of the animals by purchasing an item from the EFA store. A little tid bit about the artist and the Terbear Collectibles shop:

Handmade items and much, much more. That pretty much sums up Terbear Collectibles. Being a quilter and fiber artist at heart, I will always have hand sewn item in my store. I also carry many different varieties of items, including custom rubber stamps. You will also find a large selection of supplies for crafters. You never know what you are going to find when you visit Terbear Collectibles, but you can be sure there is something you will like!

The artist's comment on the EFA store:

I was so happy to find out that my purchase from the EFA Store was going to help out a charity. In addition to being a customer, I have also given the store a donation for them to sell in their store!
The item Terbearco is referring to is the EFA store's "Buy Handmade Etsy Stamp." Your purchase at either the Terbear Collectibles store or the EFA store helps support the animals so please take a look at both.

Spooktacular Halloween - Eek! A bat!

Everyone knows that bats symbolize all things spooky, creepy, kooky, and altogether ooky. But animal lovers also know that these often-maligned mammals have incredible abilities, play a crucial part in the ecosystem, and they're pretty cute too. In several cultures, they are considered sacred or signs of good luck!


This October, show your wicked side AND your animal lover side with this SPOOKTACULAR chainmaille choker by Viva Metal Jewelry! Stainless steel meets black jasper beads in this carefully handcrafted piece. Delicate, tough, feminine, dark, and adorable all at once.

Viva Metal offers high quality handcrafted chain and wire jewelry, accented with a funky, edgy style that is purely Viva. Check out the shop for more unique jewelry and accessories - great for ladies and guys too! Customized fit ensures that all sizes and shapes are accommodated.

In the few hours when Viva isn't working on or thinking about jewelry, she is a criminal justice student, reads, cooks, tries to remember to do yoga, listens to NPR, lavishes love upon her very spoiled kitty, and volunteers for Forgotten Cats, a local rescue/adoption agency partnered with Petsmart. At least 5% of your purchase totals go toward helping animals in need every month!

Tsurfer: friend of animals


Tsurfer has recently become a friend of the animals by purchasing an item from the EFA store. A little tid bit about the artist:

I just love to craft. I can never make up my mind on what to focus on so I just do anything that strikes that that moment. My favorite things to make right now are soaps,beading and sewing. I also like to crochet and knit. I was so excited to hear about the EFA store and went shopping right away.
