Scarves DELIVERED!

Hello everyone!

it has been a long time posting I know. But I wanted to share something with you that happened a few months back in November when the cold in Colorado was at its worst.

Many of you have stuck with me and donated scarves to my cause of warming the homeless of Denver. I wanted to let you know that your scarves went to amazing homes and I've delivered them all to shelters.

the last delivery was for men, as I did a drive for male scarves last year but then it warmed up and with finals.. well. They got delivered. We took them to the Denver Rescue Mission. albeit a church organization they have several shelters all over Denver and the man behind the one closest to us and in the sketchier area of Denver was SOOOO thrilled to see me pull up. They even posted about us and myself on their website.

He said that this is such an impact and special gift for their shelters to receive. He also took a picture of me and held up the scarves to show them off.

I just wanted to give you a little update. and to let you know all your scarves went to the Denver homeless this winter and I love etsy and its community for helping me do this <3.

thank you ALL! and have a wonderful January.

Male Scarf Drive

Donations for the Dolores Project - aka the last scarf drive I did - will be given out Monday.

I'm rather excited so in my happiness decided to throw another scarf drive, beckoning once more the help of etsyians EVERYWHERE.

This is a Male scarf drive! I'm going to be giving these out to the homeless men of the streets of Denver. Keeping one homeless person warm at a time. :) yup.

If you would like to donate please go to etsy and contact me there:

I'll send you my address etc :).

Scarf Goal: 40!

Scarves: 0

DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 15th~!!!! so hurry!

December Goals

I make goals for my main account, CagedBirdSings, and I thought that I should also make something for this account.

It helps keep me motivated and setting goals give me something to try and achieve.

So!

I come home from Ireland December 16th. This means I can create more things and continue to get my name on the listings and front page again.

GOALS:

Hearts - I'd like to get 50 more hearts by the end of the month. Which will be hard seeing as I have 50 hearts now and have been open for quite a few months.

Sales - I'd love to get 7 sales. Bringing my total to 15. :). I have 6 items in my store right now so I'd basically need to clear my store :). +1 hehe.

Inventory - I'd like to double my inventory at LEAST. 6 more items by the end of the month.

Thats all folks! Hopefully I go through with it :)

A Big.. THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!

I wanted to post this out of my utter thrill that so many people on Etsy and community were willing to donate so much to my project. The picture above does no justice I just wanted to give a big thumbs up and a smile.

The Stats:

• Scarves: 27
• Hats: 2
• Neckwarmers: 1

Oh I'm so happy!!! 30 total things! :D. I shall be giving everything out tomorrow the 14th. I'll be taking additional photos of the people in their new items. BigBlueEyes gave me an awesome idea about how to present them (the cute packaged looking scarves with the white ribbon :) ) So thats how I'll be giving them out! :) Thank you so much Etsy community! You've really made this a reality.

Note: total is without the scarves I've been making for the charity! wow! :)

Here are some fun photos I took so that you can see just how much I received and the colors and types everyone sent :).
