Inspired
Everyday, I am inspired by the strength of the Etsy community. Buyers and sellers have done an awesome job of raising money for various Relief efforts in Haiti.
They have been using Facebook, Twitter and other resources to spread the word.
I started this blog because I felt it was the best way I could help. I have donated a small amount personally, and I am donating some profits from the sales in my Etsy shop. But, I knew that I had the power, and resources to do more. Because I have time. And if the time I spend equals donations, then it is all worthwhile.
But I need your help.....
Please spread the word. Tweet us. Facebook us. And *gasp* tell people, face to face. Together, we can Help Haiti.
Thank you!

Hearts For Haiti
A group of Etsy sellers have joined forces to raise money for Doctors Without Borders. They have created an Etsy shop, called HeartsforHaiti
Currently, their shop is filled with Heart themed items (great for Valentine's Day!), so get on over there and take a look! Be sure to read their Shop Announcement and Policies if you are wondering how this all works.
Other ways to search Etsy for items/sellers donating to a great cause:
Use these terms in the search bar:
HHH
Haiti
Thank you for supporting this effort!
If you are a Handmade seller (on or off Etsy), and are donating a portion of your proceeds to the Relief effort in Haiti, leave a comment, and we will be sure to feature you!

You Can Help
Like many of you, I was heartbroken by the news of the recent, devastating earthquake in Haiti.
I've sat in front of the TV, with tears in my eyes, wondering what I could do to help. Sure, I could make a donation. But, I knew I could do more. For, I am part of a powerful movement.....the Handmade Movement. I am surrounded by artists, crafters and collectors that want to help.
With a little thought, HHH was born. It is intended to be a resource for you to find artists and crafters that are offering their support.
All of the artists participating have pledged to donate a portion, or all of their proceeds to the charity of their choice. Please note, it is up to the individual artist/crafter to follow through with their pledge. HHH is not responsible for making any donations.
So, how do you find the artists that are participating?
1. Check back here, as I will be adding links and posts about them
2. Visit Etsy.com and search for HHH in Tags/Titles
Help spread the word!
We have the ability to spread information quickly and easily. Please use these resources to get this going!
Twitter: use #hhh or #handmadehelpshaiti
Facebook
Your own blog, websites, etc.
There is power in numbers. Please help.
Thank you!
