Vegan Craft Samples August 2009

We have sold all but 5 of our vegan craft sample bags, raising over $100 for For The Animals Sanctuary! If you havnt ordered your bag, now is the time, we only have a few left.

Etsy: Your place to buy & sell all things handmade VeganSamples.etsy.com

Now it is time to start getting crafters/artists together who would like to be in the second bag! The second round of vegan craft samples will go on sale August 16th, and all samples are due to me by July 30th. If you are interested in being in the next bag, please email me at ecosampler@yahoo.com. Many people who dont have small items, or items they can make into sample sizes send in business cards and coupons or gift certificates as well. If you need help coming up with ideas for samples, I am sure we can brainstorm!

Voting has begun for the next sanctuary to receive our donation, please check out our blog and vote!

We recently added a project wonderful ad section to our blog, if you are interested in advertising on the vegan samples blog, it is cheap and easy! We are always willing to trade ad space with people as well, as long as your blog or website is vegan oriented!

A big huge vegan thank you to all of the vegan etsy members who sent in items, blogged about us, spread the word, and helped us raise money for animals!

10 people signed up, already!!!

So far we have 10+ crafters/artists signed up to send in promotional samples for these bags!  How exciting!  Please feel free to check out the folks with ads to the right, all of those people are sending in promo items for our first vegan sample bag!!!!!

So, what is next?  Well I need to get my bootie movin and start sewing all of the reusable grocery bags together, and getting them ready!  We are hoping to have enough samples for 50 bags the first time around, so that means I have some sewing on my hands.  

What else could you ask for, all vegan samples from many different shops, and to top it off a nice reusable grocery tote!

Thats all the update I have for now

Oh yeah and check us out on myspace

Everyone who sends in samples will also be put on our top friends on myspace to gain exposure that way too!!  Email me with any questions.

Our very first vegan sample bag!!

Now looking for all types of vegan items for our first vegan sample bag!

What are we looking for?  

Anything that is made without animal products and the ingredients or materials arent tested on animals.  Vegan doesnt just pertain to food.  Soaps, food, jewelry, papercrafts, animal toys and treats, buttons, magnets, handknit items....If you have a craft and arent sure if your samples would be vegan, please feel free to email me at ecosampler@yahoo.com and I would be glad to clarify!

We are hoping to make 50 bags for our first vegan sampler, so when sending items please keep that it mind. 

Submissions are due by March 31, and the bags will go on sale April 14th and 10% of sales will go to an animal charity that will soon be announced!!!

This is a great opportunity to get the word out about your shop, and share handmade items with folks around the country!
