Catstarter

You've heard of "Kickstarter." Well, this is "Catstarter." I want to buy my kitty this cat cave on etsy.

The girl who hand makes them lives in Europe. I am starting this Catstarter "fundraiser" to ~~raise funds~~ increase sales in my shop for the cat cave. The cost is $64 dollars including shipping. My goal is to earn the 64 dollars through sales in my etsy shop in the next month, by April 20th.

So here is how Catstarter will work. If you like books / vintage / handmade items, go to my etsy shop and help this cause! Many items are 50% off right now in these "cat"egories!

Vintage Books (literature, kids, non-fiction, something for everyone!)

Vintage Merchandise

Handmade tags and cards, bookmarks, etc.

This post is all in fun, but if you really want to contribute by buying something, my kitty will thank you!

Joy

I will never tire of the wind,
be it a cold winter blast
that takes me off guard
with it's bitterness,
or an exhilarating spring or
fall tempest that sweeps me away.
I get caught up in it every time,
...it's as if the wind is calling
my name to come out and play.
The trees become my cohorts,
...those gentle giants that sway
back and forth with delight,
as they gracefully bend to and
fro - they get caught up every time,
too, and are surely clapping their
hands in mirth.
In these moments, I am a
beautiful bird who was made for nothing more than ascending
to the heights where the currents await me. Joy.

For the beauty of the earth
