Over the years I have accumulated a lot of samples. Many of these samples work hard travelling the world in sample shows at LYS or acting as examples in my classes. There comes a time however where you become swamped with too many samples!
Anyone that follows my blog (or twitter/Instagram) knows how fond I am of my 2 dogs, Kenny and Lizzie.
Both dogs came from local animal shelters. Kenny came from the West Cork Animal Welfare Group
Lizzie came from Cork Dog Action Welfare Group.
These groups are run by volunteers and deal with some very difficult cases of animal neglect. Their vet bills each month alone run into the thousands. I have so much admiration and respect for the work that they do that the proceeds from the sample sales will all be donated to these charities.
How it works:
Over the coming days I will post a few samples up every day here on my blog.
To make an offer leave a comment in the comment section. I will send you on a paypal invoice. The suggest amounts are inclusive of postage costs. I’m happy to post worldwide.
All proceeds will be donated to the charities less postage and paypal fees. I will split it equally between both.
