Helping to spread the love!

My sister Rachael has an ETSY store where she makes and sells the cutest little things, mostly purses and wristlets, but lately she has branched out into pottery as well. My other sister Natalie is the pottery artist (with an ETSY store of her own) who has created most of the pottery pieces. I think she started this ETSY store to make some extra cash for herself, but somehow, it turned into a charity store. Since she adopted a little girl from Russia a year and a half ago, she has a soft spot for the orphans left behind still in Russia. Last year she made Christmas extra special for the children in one orphanage in Russia, and this year she plans to do it again, hopefully at 2 different orphanages. She did a really good job of telling the stories on her blog, so I will just give the links here and you can go read them. I have put her ETSY store on my sidebar so scroll through and have a look, and don't hesitate to buy, it's for a good cause.

Here is Katya, her Russian daughter, modeling an apron for the ETSY store. One of the items from her store, it says coffee in Russian.


Okay, here is the links you should check out:

The store: Simple Wishes

Rachael's post about the Simple Wishes grand opening, and how you can win a free gift from the store.

Last Christmas, Rachael's friend Kate, who lives in Russia, bought all the gifts and delivered them to the children, you can read about it HERE.

And last but not least, visit my sister Nat's ETSY store too, because she indirectly donates to Rachael's ETSY store by making, painting, and firing the pottery. So while her store is not all for charity, it does help pay for the pottery and supplies she donates to the simple wishes ETSY store.
