Besides trying to get caught up on orders since I was out of town I have had a major project going on for several weeks now. This is something that is very dear to my heart and is extremely important to me. My YT family is the first to know about it and I need a little help giving my project a title. First I want to give you a brief(well it was supposed to be brief
lol) explanation on what the project is. I have always loved nature, animals of all sorts, and marine life. I spend many sleepless nights feeling like sometimes my life is not meaningful becasue I am not doing anything construcitve towards these things that I am so passionate about. When I grew up I had always planned to be an environmental scientist of some sort but obviously my life took a different route and becuase of this Ive always felt like I defied my passions a bit. But I love my business and I love what I do of course! And I also have always had a passion for art and design and I absolutely love dogs and my business is a huge way for me to express this so I am definetly doing something I am very passionate about. But anyways, after watching all the Planet Earths I finally got a great idea to sort of combine all my passions. I decided I would design a line of dog clothing with certain environmental themes and dontate a portion of the proceeds to different environment organizations. For instance the tropical harness dress and vest pictured below will cost about $20 and $5 of each one sold will go to
www.saveourseas.org an ocean conservation organization, I have also designed several animal themed clothing and $5 of each one sold will go to WWF or WorldWildLife.org
These are the only 2 organizations I have planned so far but I also plan to do a breast cancer clothing item to donate money to the Susan G Komen Foundation.
I really love what I do but I want it to serve even more of a purpose than just fashion or "pampering" our sweet furbabies so I am very very excited about this project and hope I can get even more organizations to donate to. So the help I need from you guys is what to call or title this project?
I need to add these products to my website and Im not sure what to call the department, I really go brain dead when it comes to thinking of simple things like this. So if anyone has any idea please pm me and let me know. Also if you have any suggestions for other organizations for me to look into adding to my project please let me know.
Im also very excited to announce that I have found a local rescue group that Tinkerbell's Closet will be donating a portion of our monthly profits to. I will post all about this rescue group on my website soon!
I would also like to let everyone know that this weekend I will have 2 items on my website (pictured in the next post) that I am selling to help raise money Chi-Chi a chihuahua that YT member Kalina82 rescued and has found a very loving home for. Chi-Chi needs a $3,500 surgery and we are trying to take some of this financial burden off Chi-Chi's new owners, for the full story please check out these 2 threads:

$10 for each harness vest or skirted harness vest purchased will go to Chi-Chi. They should be up on the website this weekend.
