I’m so sick of toxic crap made in China. Aren’t you? ‘Course you are.
I bet you’re thinking, “Mollie, please not another China horror story. Pleeeze!”
You’re in luck, this time it’s only about CUTE! Cute stuff not made in China.
After my depressing story on the state of toxic toys from China and the Christmas tree lights guaranteed to ruin your holiday by setting your tree ablaze and burning down your house, I thought, you know what? I’m going to write about one of my absolute favorite group of crafty pet people: the Etsy for Animals artists!
Plus, Christmas is right around the corner and just about everyone I know worried sick about toxic pet stuff, I realized who better to buy pet toys from than people who actually love animals. And best of all, they show their love by donating a portion of each sale to help animals in need! Isn’t that fabulous? Of course it is.
Plus, you can rest assured their handcrafted goodies are guaranteed not to set your Christmas tree on fire.
