Even princesses have bad hair days...

The Etsy seller - ktfin777 - has the most wonderful and generous offer running in her store 'Emma E. Bows'... From her shop announcement:

"For as long as my shop is open I will happily be donating one bow or clip for EVERY and ANY order in my shop. Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center is a not for profit medical center here in St.Louis and has been treating children for 51 years. I will be personally, every two weeks, donating my bows to the children in their cancer unit. I believe it will boost their self esteem and every little girl needs to feel pretty. On behalf of myself and Cardinal Glennon, thank you for your purchases."

This is an example of the sweet little girls' treasures that you will find on offer:

Why not treat the little princess in your life and in turn, Katie will treat another little princess at the Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center :)

Here we are in 2009...

HOST would like to wish you a very happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!!! Thank you all so much for your support of HOST, and of those sellers that we have promoted in the last year. We hope you will continue to help and support us through the coming year, and leave us your feedback and comments here.

Having run a Holidays 'needs' thread through December 2008, HOST and many wonderful Etsians have helped many others in need; http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5956285 This thread did bring sales and support of promotions but most important, there have been new friendships made, and a sharing of ideas, knowledge and resources, that we hope will provide continued support and assistance for those who need it 9see the links in the left hand column of this blog).

A new thread has been started for the New Year - http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5977992 - and we are hoping that by continuing with forum threads like this one, Etsians in need will be able to find us more easily!

Thank you to everyone who has so generously donated items to the HOST store; the store looks amazing and your donations are a huge bonus for HOST since more items and sales enable us to help out more Etsians in need of basic, day to day financial assistance.

A very warm welcome also to all those Etsians who have found HOST and decided to join us! We are delighted to have you on the team, and are very much looking forward to getting to know you better, and working with you :)
