Minou's Jewels

AGE IS BUT A NUMBER!! Mr. Stripey is a senior but he’s not done living it up yet! He has been with us for years and is a permanent resident at our love filled ...sanctuary and although he’s slowed a little, he hasn’t stopped playing!! He wanted to inspire all of you to keep playing - no matter how big or small, how old or young, whether you have difficulties moving around or are simply feeling sad. Stripey knows the world is a weird place right now and not everyone can hide in a beautiful sanctuary to avoid it. So after you watch this adorable video of him having a joyful moment, Stripey wants you to find a song you love, crank it up, play a little air guitar and just be you. Even 30 seconds of playing around and really letting go, whether with your cat or chasing your own tail, can help make your day brighter!! Go on and have fun! We send you love from our rescue and hope the collective we (all animals including humans) take care of each other and ourselves NOTE: If you wish to sponsor Mr. Stripey or any permanent resident at our sanctuary please go to www.critteraid.org. What a great act of kindness - it can make for a wonderful Christmas gift!!

Note from the Human: Mismatch-Match earrings were popular in the 80s. A pair would have a post on one side and a dangle for the other side. You might call it #boho now and it's a great way to re-purpose earrings that have lost their mates. This rhinestone set would look cool with short or up-swept hair. #upcycling #zerowaste

Pick up is in Guelph Ontario. Delivery available to Burlington Ontario on Thursday December 3rd between 12-2pm for $2 delivery fee (to be paid via E-transfer).

Wolfie and I were looking over the stores inventory and both agree that we are in need of some of the more popular selling items to help boost our sales. Some ...of those items include, small kitchen appliances, small end tables or similar, winter hats, gloves, mitts, boots, tools of any kind, Christmas decor, books, dvds, music cds. Those items are at the top of our wish list, but of course all our regular inventory are always needed as well. Plus a friendly reminder of the push for cash donations to help the Timmins and district humane society to complete some much needed upgrades to their building on Mahoney Road. Wolfie thanks you, I thank-you, and the Timmins and district humane society and pets in need, THANK-YOU! See more

Had a little trouble with Canada Post but a new package of Minou's Jewels is on it's way to Critteraid Charity Shoppe in Summerland, BC. Check out Critteraid at https://critteraid.org/how-to-he/summerland-charity-shoppe/

Update: this beautiful bracelet is on it's way to https://www.facebook.com/HumaneSocietyKawarthaLakes/ We'll let you know if it appears in their Poshmark Online Store! https://poshmark.ca/closet/hskl_schance... Note from the Human: Just received a jewellery donation from Critter Aid in Summerland BC. This little treasure was in there. Solid copper vintage Thunderbird bracelet. I polished it up and it's mint. The kind of thing people picked up as a souvenir travelling in the southwest in the 1950s. Beautiful!

Many rescues are holding Facebook auctions for Christmas to raise funds. Find one in your area and get great, unique gifts and help the kitties (and pups) too! ...You might even find some of our Minou's Jewels donated to rescues free of charge and virtually every piece has been touched by Minou. She can't keep her paws to herself! See more

What 22 lbs of jewellery for repair, remake and up-cycling into new Minous Jewels looks like! Minou tried to get in the box but there was no room! Can’t wait to sort it and get to work! #animalrescue #fundraising

We love dogs too!

Update: these designs and some others from a donation received yesterday will soon be on their way to Sammy's Forgotten Felines in Kamloops, BC to be used in a fundraising auction! https://www.facebook.com/Sammysforgottenfelines/ These re-designs are all from a recent donation of broken jewellery kindly sent to us by Animal Auxiliary Thrift Store in Vernon, BC. ... Pic 1 - A huge pair of broken 1980s blue glass earrings became a set of teardrop earrings and Celtic knot pendant. Pic 2 - A bracelet and two sets of earrings became pretty again with some repair and polishing plus new wires for the earrings, new clasp and Scottie dog charm for the bracelet.

Why can I not nap on the bed without Daddy #paparrazi bothering me?
