It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary
http://www.itsmeowornever.org

It’s Meow or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, a 501(c)(3) organization, was founded by Madonna and actor/model Michael in 2003. As active cat-rescuers, Michael and Madonna have successfully trapped, altered, and released hundreds of cats – usually those in cat colonies made up of ferals and strays.

They both believe that cat rescue is not a hobby, but more a responsibility not to be taken lightly. Both Madonna and Michael have dedicated much of their spare time caring for homeless cats, funding food and medical care out of pocket.

Through vital donations to It’s Now or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, Madonna and her team of dedicated volunteers are able to care for more animals. They soon hope to purchase land and build a facility to provide expanded rescue services to the animals in dire need.

EFC Team donated $30.00 to It’s Meow Or Never Animal Rescue & Sanctuary in June.

In June, EFC individual members donated

I Am Woman Vintage Horror Film Charm Bracelet Made By Laughing Vixen Lounge. Featuring Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman, She Devil Island, The Wasp Woman And More

I Am Woman Vintage Horror Film Charm Bracelet Made By Laughing Vixen Lounge. Featuring Attack Of The 50 Ft. Woman, She Devil Island, The Wasp Woman And More

Notes from the Artist:

♥I Am Woman Vintage Horror Charm Bracelet♥

This layered charm bracelet features:
1) 6 large square picture charms featuring vintage horror films: Attack of the 50 ft. Woman, She Devil Island, The Wasp Woman, The She Creature, Cobra Woman and The Spider Woman Strikes Back. Each picture is covered with resin for durability and shine.
2) 6 silver plated charms that include: a star fish (She Creature was from the ocean), a cobra head (Cobra Woman), a bee (Wasp Woman), two aliens in a space ship (The 50 ft. Woman was transformed from radiation from a alien encounter), a spider hanging from a web (Spider Woman), and a devil’s tail (She Devil Island).
3) A black and white lampwork bead as the center point.
4) Lots of yellow beads, with speckles and swirls of other colors, and some bright metallic pink beads.
5) And, as a little trademark for Laughing Vixen Lounge bracelets, a couple of little bells on the last loop.

The bracelet is silver plated and has a sturdy lobster claw clasp. It is 8 1/4 inch long, but can fit down to 7 1/2 inch. If you need a smaller or larger fit just let me know.

I also love to do custom orders so contact me if you have an idea that I can bring to life for you. Or even if you see a different bead coloring you’d like better. If you can dream it I can make it.

Any white spots or lines on the pictures are from lighting and not actually on the pictures. Pictures are printed on a photo quality printer and look even better in person.

Notes from the Artist(s):

Spring is in the air, and doesn’t that just seem to make everything better? This month we’re offering mini-boxes. You choose if you want mostly dog items, or cat items or a combination (specify in “message from buyer”). Some boxes may have a few items unrelated to dog or cat, such as a card with a horse on it, or a switchplate with a piggie painted on it, or even guinea pig or rabbit treats. Each box is unique and may contain an assortment of treats, accessories (ribbons, bandanas, collars, charms), toys, cards, pins, magnets, stickers, keychains, bookmarks, blankets, scarves, tags, photos, coupons, and gift certificates all for an amazingly low price. Quantities are limited.

Bold Sterling Silver wrapped Green Quartz and Citrine Pendant

Bold Sterling Silver wrapped Green Quartz and Citrine Pendant

Notes from the Artist:

Hello. I have aquired quite a few of these bold sterling silver wire wrapped pendants at a jewelry estate auction. I have listed these in supplies because I am not certain that they are considered vintage. They don’t look all that vintage to me although the estate sale was a vintage jewelry auction.
I am still having trouble considering 1989 as vintage so these pendants very well could be! LOL.

This one features a huge faceted chunk of light green (maybe mint) quartz and a citrine stone as well.

The bale on these pendants is large and therefore could fit on a cord, ribbon, larger chain, or even an omega. Of course this is etsy so you could dismantle and use in your own artisan creations.

Thanks!
