I, JustPlainKat, was requested by Lisette to put up these 2 E-Bays to benefit Jackie Hawley, the Dook Nook Ferret Shelter, & Chere McCoy, Ferret Friends of Indian River County Shelter, both in Florida... We chose to go thru me 'personally' so we would be able to send the funds directly to Jackie and Chere so they would be able to use the funds for whatever they need most...supplies, food, repairs... ok...these are 2 more of Lisette's FABULOUS Art Creations... the first one is: URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4325989177 Title: Ferret Farmer Miniature Centerpiece... by Lisette Holy Cow! Our blond haired blue eyed ferret farmer is about to get busy watering his garden, and hoisting supplies into the loft, and churning the butter, feeding his cat, chasing off the bunny, and peeling some of his potatoes. But first he is going to nibble on his banana. "-) 15 1/2" long,4"deep, and 8"at its tallest, this patriotic multidimensional ferret-farm scene has several levels for you to put your own personal ferret knick knacks. This is ideal for the Thanksgiviing/or Christmas Holiday as a centerpiece, or for over the fire place. Feast your eyes on this and give thanks for the silly weasels we love, and the country we were lucky enough to be born in....what a gift this is going to make for anyone with a love for the ferret. All monies goes to Florida ferret shelters that have been terribly damaged by the hurricaines and tornadoes. One of these took in 30 of the rescued Utah ferrets that were about to be euthenized, along with many other ferrets in desperate need of a home. This shelter has had extensive damage, and needs help A.S.A.P.. Please bid as generously as you can. There is SO much detail in this piece. You will never see this ferret farm again, as this is one of a kind. It has easily $60 of miniatures in it, and will be something to treasure for years to come. -------- the second one is: URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4325992935 Title: Ferret Buehler Miniature with cat and dog... by Lisette Ferret Buehlers' day at the park is just glorious. As Ferret Buehler (...who has escaped a ferret etiquette class by escaping through an open window....) looks out across the sparkling lawn to throw the Frisbee, the Dalmatian puppy and Lhaso Apso await the flying fun. Katrise,The Cat, languishes on this sun splashed sidewalk, hoping Ferret Buehler does nothing to spoil his nap...again. "-) Phee Phee,the poodle, is waiting for you with her ball. And the tiny mutt puppy rescue is running towards the bird bath with a stolen bone...tail wagging so hard that you have to smile. All of these helpless animals were found close to death in the wake of the Florida floods and hurricanes. They were rescued, and brought to safety in this merry story. 13" long by 8" deep, the beauty of a bouncing ferret day in the park awaits these joyous survivors. ------------------ But there are those who are not make believe. They need our help very badly. All proceeds go to the Florida ferret shelters badly damaged that have so many ferrets..many needing meds and hand feedings. More deadly winds and rains are on their way to Florida as I type this. The humans at these ferret shelters that give up almost everything out of love for the ferret are in need of immediate financial assistants. Let there be other Ferret Buehlers..Help to keep these shelters open, so that these tiny helpless animals can find the joy and love of forever homes: please help these Florida shelters to survive by bidding here and/or donations to SOS. Thank you, Lisette ------------------ Tine is running out...make sure you get your bid in for these EXCELLENT-ONE-OF-A-KIND Art Pieces...but mostly to help Chere and Jackie... Last report i read...things are looking worse than originally thought...:( Thank you ALL in advance for your generosity...
