Animal Place, founded in 1989, is a nonprofit sanctuary for abused and discarded farmed animals. Rescued individuals and indigenous wildlife share 60 acres for forest, meadow, pasture, hills and small lake.

Animal Place is also a humane education center that works to promote cruelty-free lifestyles and veganism. We provide a variety of educational resources for both children and adults that teach kindness and compassion for all creatures, and implement nationwide educational programs such as our Food For Thought, ABC (About Building Compassion) and 5-H campaigns.

Notes from the artist :
I love this ornament because it is made with vintage fabric that I found in a tiny fabric shop in Smithville, Texas. The lady who runs the shop is exactly what you would expect. She was charming and full of stories of the area.

Notes from the artist :
These Cubic Zirconia shine like the stars. And they are an amazing 17mm X 13mm. Stunning! They are wrapped in Gold Fill wire and have Gold Fill Earwires. Green and Gold are such a beautiful combination.

My jewelry and bath & body products are always VEGAN. I never use any animal by-products such as leather, bone, shell, feathers, silk or pearls etc.

I donate 10% of my sales to the Animal Place in Vacaville, CA. They are a wonderful organization that rescues farm animals from abuse and neglect. www.animalplace.org
