Knee Deep Studio

Knee Deep Studio sent in some adorable watercolors and earrings! This shop is in such high demand with our sample bag buyers that someone actually emailed me requesting I make sure to include a Knee Deep item in their bag!













I love the composition and coloring of this painting in particular, so pretty!

Maple Ash and Oak, OH MY

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love anything heart shaped or bicycle themed...Maple Ash and Oak sent in fabric heart shaped pins!!! These are so adorable, I cant wait to open my box, peek inside my bag and hopefully have one for myself! (yes, I am a dork, I package all of the bags then just randomly grab one for myself, I like suprises!!)











I love the selection of organic shirts, all so different and beautiful!

I absolutely love this necklace from Pointy Paws and The Raven from Apache Moon!

Button Farmer

Button Farmer sent in some cute veg related buttons for the Vegan Sample Bags!










I love these buttons because I really do think people are so detached and forget that chicken comes from chicken, beef comes from cow and pork comes from a pig!

I love this tree painting from Heathrock's shop!

I want to ride my bicycle, all over town after eating a huge vegan dinner!

Today's search for an awesome etsy item was far too easy, I searched VeganEtsy Team, and one of the first things that popped up, I LOVE! First of all, if you know me, you know that I love bikes, I ride mine everywhere that I go. In fact, I like them so much that I have not 1 but 2 bicycle related tattoos! Ok Ok so what did I find?

A bike print bag set by Vegancraftastic and it is so awesome! What would I put in the bags if they were mine? First of all I would put my knitting in the larger bag, and some cash in the little pouch....then I'd hop on my bike and ride down to the coffee shop for some knittin' 'N' tea sippin'!

Beautiful Indigo Necklace To Brighten Up A Gloomy Summer Day!

I was looking on etsy for something to cheer me up this morning and did a search for VeganEtsy Team. The first item that popped up was this beautiful bright indigo necklace by Pink Bubble, and I absolutely love it! It kind of reminds me of the Native Jewelry that my father used to make, but a more modern take on it I suppose. Pink bubble really has a lot of cute things in their shop, worth a peek!

Nature Captured Without Cruelty

3Am Art shows that you can admire and appreciate the beauty of nature and its beings without capturing and exploiting them, in these gorgeous photos. Adorn your house with beautiful butterflies and bees without hurting a single one!

What's all that HOOTin' and Hollerin?

I was diddling around on etsy today instead of cleaning the house and getting some sewing done(as always). When I found this super cute pouch by DangArgyle

Their shop is chock full of cute little pouches with animals on them!

Monsters dont have to be scary!

Panda with cookie has a shop full of monsters, but there is one main difference from normal monsters...these ones dont give you nightmares!

They are so worried they are going to scare away friends, that they have both gone incognito!

If you are still scared of the evil monsters under your bed, I assure you...stringing some of these little guys around your room will keep the hairy scary ones at bay!
Panda With Cookie is a proud member of Vegan Etsy Team and Etsy Veg!

Veganessa

Show off exactly how you feel about animals with this cute little conversation starter!

Bold and blunt this bag will let everyone in the grocery line know exactly how you feel about animals and how they are treated.

Black tote bag with long handles. It is decorated with a poignant collage of pictures and words. The top part shows pictures of dead carcasses with words such as 'slaughter' 'heart disease' anti- meat words. The bottom part has colourful pictures of fruit and veg with words related to veganism and cruely free. In the middle there are pictures of daisies and the wording 'the choice is yours'. A very poignant message in words and pictures. The image is printed onto banner fabric. It is edged with black satin ribbon.

Veganessa also has another shop, Midnight Rabbits(which gives 100% of the stores profits to animal charities), is a member of Vegan Etsy Team, and also participated in our first Vegan Sample Bag!

Exciting!

Day by day we get closer to the first sample bags going on sale!! Tuesday is the day and we have some really great contributors this round! If you are interested in contributing samples for the next bag, please email me at ecosampler@yahoo.com for more info! We are also looking for the sponsor for the next bag, the cost is $30 (which goes straight to the sanctuary that is voted for that round) and you have your ad up from the day we sell out of this bag, until the day we sell out of the bag you are sponsoring...the second bag goes on sale in august, so that is a few months of exposure for only $30!! And it goes straight to the animals!!! The voting for sanctuaries only has a couple more days left and it is a really close call right now. We are also looking for folks who want to trade ad space on their blogs, websites, etc...please feel free to contact me if you are interested in that at all. I hope everyone is doing well, and I cant wait to get these sample bags in the mail!

Samples are coming!!!

Everyday we go to the po box, and BEHOLD, more samples have arrived. The first round of vegan sample bags is really coming together and everything looks so awesome and unique thus far. Later today I will be sure to put the new arrivals on the "current contributors" blog link and on our website. If you havnt signed up for the forums on our website, please do so. You can post reviews of the bags on there, ask vegan related questions, meet other veg heads and so much more! Please stop by and introduce yourself.
