What good cause to support when you are a pet lover?

Hi There..... Do you have a soft spot for animals?

I mean in your heart of course..... No, No..... Not the soft spot on the couch that's reserved for your four-legged friend 😂

Actually, I wanted to come back on a blog post I made in December last year about The AAP or Animal Assisted Projects 😊

You can read my previous blog post here

The AAP focusses on the relationship between man and animal..... And they have found great ways to do so 😀

Like their plus-owner initiative..... Where people of 55 or older are given the chance to take care of someone else's animal for the day..... That way the owners can benefit too by knowing someone is giving their pet some extra love 😍

Another important goal of them is to also use their knowledge to offer training about the relationship between animal and man  😀 

And if that's not enough..... They also use their know-how to work together with the government and organizations..... And not just a tiny bit..... They really are devoted to their job if you ask my honest opinion..... I might try to fool you sometimes maybe..... But definitely not this time  😊

They have a helpdesk where you can ask all kinds of animal-related questions..... Citizens can report animal-abuse or neglect and they work together with the police or other services to find the best possible solution  😍

Hearing that really makes me happy..... If there is something I can't stand its people neglecting or abusing animals..... That is simply unforgivable  😖

Also very important for people who live in the neighborhood is their emergency care and transit if owners can temporarily not take care of their pet..... They have enthusiastic volunteers who are happy to support them in this task  😀

Where are you going..... No, no don't go..... I haven't finished..... Stay..... Sit  🤣

They also often intervene when an animal is seized..... They sit down with the parties involved to see which measures would be appropriate..... If necessary they give advice and support after the return of the owner's pet  😊

Oh yes, there is more..... They follow up on incidents with animals by consulting with the animal shelter, the vet or another expert about measures to guarantee public safety and the welfare of humans and animals  😀 

And last but not least..... There is their involvement in School projects, youth projects, and awareness campaigns in which they develop a diverse range of training courses and workshops tailored to young people..... Fabulous..... Right  😍

What did you say..... You would love to help..... Of course, you can..... No obligations but you can't blame a girl for asking..... Actually, they mailed me to ask for help so I am just passing the buck 😁

So maybe you have a grandpa or grandma that you miss so much..... Who knows maybe it could be a mom or dad, a girlfriend or boyfriend even..... Maybe you should let them know that you are thinking of them..... Or maybe you just want to spread some joy around the world 😘

What better way than to order their fun postcards to put a smile on someone's face..... You receive a full package of 10 different cards for 12.50 euro..... Here is the link to them https://www.aapvzw.be/steun-ons-shop..... Come on now..... It's not that much and it's for the welfare of animals  😍

By the way..... If you might ask yourself.....I have no benefit from posting this.....I just have a big heart for animals..... Not literally of course..... It's not like you can feed my heart to your dogs  😂

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Introducing you to - Boyfriendstudios

Hi There.....What are you doing this weekend?

It's gonna be a sunny day here so we are planning to go to the store and having drinks later 😊

Summer is coming pretty soon now so are you planning to go on a Holiday? Maybe I can tempt you in buying some cards first to send to your loved ones 😋

That is why I wanted to introduce you this time to Boyfriendstudios

Tammy, the shop-owner, makes unique handmade greeting cards. She got started creating when her girls were young. She would sew clothes for them and make scrapbooks to commemorate her girls' childhood.

When her oldest daughter started college her creative outlet morphed into card making. She would put together special care packages and create a pretty card to put on top to brighten her daughter's day. Her girls' college careers overlapped significantly, so she ended up making twice as many care packages and pretty cards.

That's so sweet.....don't you think so too 😚

She gets inspired by paper and card stock because the possibilities are endless. The assortment of colors, patterns, and embellishments that are available make every card she makes a unique and special experience.

Her workspace is an entire room of years of stored fabric, paper, ribbon, glue, and other crafting materials. She just loves it and can spend hours sometimes in her room just creating until her heart's content.

I can relate to that.....my beads are a lot smaller but I can fill a whole closet with them 😏

But that's not all.....she also sells a line of pie-themed cards at Sweet Revolution Bake Shop in Lafayette in Indiana. So don't forget to pay her a visit when you are in the neighborhood.

Ah well did I make you curious enough to go and see some of the collection of cards she sells 😁

Introducing you to Rabenkraeuter

Hi There.....Are you a fan of plants and herbs?

I would think most of us are 😊 I myself love to experiment in my cooking with herbs.

Well, I have a very special story for you this time about the shop Rabenkraeuter

A few years ago the shop-owner and her family were on their way to visit a small yard. The last part of the street a raven escorted them. He landed on a large upstanding stone on the farmyard. So they bought the micro yard and are still cultivating it today. The Raven, so they learned, was saved as a chick by one of the former farmers.

It often accompanies the shop-owner on her herbal walks. This black bird was the inspiration for 'Hof Rabenstein' and its herbs.

The shop-owner now gives guided tours, where she leads people around and teaches them about wild plants and their uses.

One of the most popular workshops is Blumenfeuer/Flowerfire. It's a workshop where they make colorful sugars and salts, and the participants get to take those home as a small souvenir. Then they cook a 'wilde wald und wiesen menu'.....a wild forest and meadow menu.....and end the day around the campfire.

That sounds great to me 😃

Another popular workshop is Herbarium production. Most participants in this are fellow herb teachers or Biology/Pharmacy students. They get to take home their own made flower press filled with a future specimen.

So those are some of the things you can find in her Etsy shop. Along with postcards made from beautiful pictures a fellow herb teacher makes.

I think it is time now to show you a few things out of the shop.

Decorative flower salt



Decorative flower sugar, rainbow sugar



Handmade botanical Greeting cards



Wild Harvest Curiosity: Dirndl olives with herbs, Cornel olives



Scented rose oatmeal bath salt and body scrub

Wild herbs or plants collection: Herbarium leaves



Those are some really special items in this shop.....don't you agree?

Hope you like my blogpost.....Until next time.....Have a great Sunday
