<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A HEARTFELT FAREWELL TO TDIPT MERCANTILE</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">TDIPT Mercantile will be closing its doors at the end of April. It was a difficult decision for us to make, but one that we felt was right for TDIPT and its artisans.</span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We would like to thank our very talented artisans as well as our very loyal customers for all of their support during the years. I have been honored to work alongside some of the most gifted and wonderful artisans, both as an artisan myself and as an administrator working behind the scenes. We are truly grateful to all of our artisans for their talent, their friendship, their compassion and generosity throughout the years. You are all the best!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">TDIPT's motto is "Kindness Matters" and throughout the years that we have been in existence, we have strived to practice that sentiment. Recently, through the generosity of our artisans and the support of our wonderful customers and friends, $1,230 was raised in support of Make a Difference and the Humane League. Thank you to All!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We wish all of our artisans and customers much success, good health and an abundance of blessings in their lives. We will miss you all and are grateful that you shared this journey with all of us. Many friendships have been made and will continue to be treasured long after TDIPT's doors have closed. Thank you again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With Warmest Regards,</span></div>

<br />
We have been raising money for the Make A Difference Rescue in Detroit and the Branch County Humane Society in southern Michigan this entire month, showing our love for animals for all the love they give us. And its good to know there have been some happy endings for some of the animals at these places. <br />
<br />
We are continuing to offer wonderful prim, primitive, whimsical handmades throughtout the month.<br />

<strong>So tonight we start the month with our Kindness Matters Big and Small Charity event.</strong></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<strong>Make a Difference Rescue in the Metro Detroit area and Branch County Humane Society in Southern MI will be the recipients of the charity in our hearts. </strong></div>
<br />
<strong>Several artists are participating and certain items will be for sale with ALL the proceeds going to the above rescues. To find out which items, just head over to The Mercantile (after 9pm tonight )tomorrow, check out the artist's pages and see which items have a picture of a dog or cat in need. If you want to purchase said item you will be getting a wonderful piece of folk art and helping an animal in need. A win win situation!</strong><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

<b>TDIPT Mercantile is really feeling the love, and since we're the original "Kindness Matters" online group of folk artists, we seem to have a little extra charity in our hearts for the month of February! Many of the members will be participating, and this time around the proceeds will be going to a wonderful animal Rescue in the Metro Detroit area called Make a Difference. The members who have agreed to participate will donate 100% of their sale from a select Mercantile offering during the month of February to this wonderful rescue that truly makes a difference to so many dogs, from not only the Detroit area, but they also help out by rescuing dogs and puppies from North Carolina that are transported up north to begin their new "furever" lives in new homes. </b><b>To see more about this rescue, please visit their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MakeADifferenceRescue?ref=ts&fref=ts">Facebook page here</a> or their <a href="http://www.makeadifferencerescue.org/">Website here</a> </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>And its time for the 15th updates! check out t</b><b>his Lovely Doll From Diamond K Folk Art one of the many lovely items offered this month </b><br />

Patty Kelly Trevino of Dogpatch Primitives has very good news to share. She is going to be getting a job w <br />
<br />
<br />
the city she lives in and will be working at the animal shelter.<br />
<br />
" It may not seem like a big deal, but to get the full appreciation you would have to understand <br />
<br />
that our local pound here has never allowed adoptions. That will all be changing <br />
<br />
as I will be the shelter attendant and will be coordinating rescues and <br />
<br />
adoptions for the Animals". <br />
<br />
She is also working on getting a grant for a makeover to make the shelter a cheerier place for all. <br />
<br />
"I'm very excited as this is a huge step and one I had to fight for and have wanted to do for years. "<br />
<br />
This is great new especially for those animals in need!<br />

<strong>When did you start making your dolls?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>My mother taught me how to sew when I was about 10 yrs old and I’ve been sewing ever since. In 1997, I was checking out ebay for the first time and noticed some of the most unusual and lovely dolls I’d ever seen. They looked old, worn and loved and I was so intrigued about them that I started digging a little deeper and soon realized these were created to look that way. I joined an ebay group at the suggestion of another artist and asked a lot of questions about techniques. So many were so gracious in helping me get started and it has become a lovely addiction that I’ve fed ever since. </strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>What is your favorite type of doll, animal, human, paper clay, soft sculpture, to make and how long does it take to make one of your personality plus dolls? </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I use many different mediums in creating, but my favorite is cloth dolls. In their own way, they start talking to me and telling me what they want for clothing and accessories. </strong><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<strong>Do you have a studio at home? What inspires you to get those creative juices going?</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>My craft room is an unfinished sub-basement that I call my “dungeon”. I take a bit of comfort in knowing I can get messy and not have to worry about ruining carpeting or hardwood floors. </strong><br />

<br />
<strong>In creating, I tend to get inspiration in the ordinary things. I can see a snowman in a cement block, an idea for my next Santa in a billboard on the highway … and my friends laugh about how I can get an idea and jump to grab a paper and pencil to jot it down.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>What do you think makes your work so special to your customers? </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>I’ve heard many times from clients that my creations take on a life and gentle spirit of their own. I like to think they do, too – at least, they do for me J.</strong><br />
<br />
<br /><br />
<strong>What was your very favorite piece? or the one you sold and regret. </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>There are several pieces that I wish I would have kept … most recently a Christmas Goose that was fashioned from a pattern by Sharon Mitchell. One day, I will make another and try to hang onto him for myself. </strong><br />

<strong>Another of my favorite pieces is a patriotic sailor I called “Sea Legs” – he did not sell the first time I listed him and I grew very fond of him. Not long after, a client found a photo of him and asked is he was still for sale. I do believe there are some pieces that just cannot be recreated and to this day I wish I would have kept him for my own.</strong><br />

<strong>One of my other favorite pieces is in memory of my Grandad, who always called me “Monkey”. I fashioned this girl with pigtails, clay slippers and even patterned a monkey for her to hang on to. To this day, she is patiently waiting for Santa to come and bring her adoption papers.</strong><br />

<strong>Tell us a little bit about your family. What are your favorite things to do?</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>I’ve lost both parents now, but have a lifetime of fond memories growing up in a family filled to the brim with love and compassion. I’ve been married to my husband since 1980 and we share a wonderful home with 2 Siamese rescue cats named Nip and Tuck. They did not know each other when we adopted them but came from separate rescues. I do believe my little girl, Nip had to become a scrapper to survive the shelter because she had little hair on one ear and none around the base of her tail. She would have been a perfect one family cat, and did not warm up to Tuck, much to his dismay. To this day, she tolerates him and every so often he will chase her around the house just to show her that he could be boss if he wanted to. We love them both very much and they are the children we were never able to have. </strong><br />

<strong>My husband and I love to ride motorcycles – our first trip was 2 weeks long and we left Kansas City and headed to Wyoming, through the Grand Tetons on to Yellowstone Natl Park, riding through Montana to Glacier Natl Park and further north to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. We traveled 500 miles each day and came home via Sturgis SD. I fell in love traveling by motorcycle and to this day would prefer that to any airplane or car trip. </strong><br />

<strong>My faith in God is the very core of all I believe in and from that, all else resonates out. I feel very strongly for our country and our people but mostly, my heart goes to the lost and suffering. Being motherless at a very young age, I find myself very sensitive to the needs of our youth. My husband and I served as youth leaders for many years and to this day, many of the teenagers who now are married with families of their own still keep in touch with news about what is going on in their lives. We feel our lives are nothing if we are not missional minded, and belong to a motorcycle ministry called Bikers For Christ. We always try to look for ways to reach out to others, whether visiting nursing homes, centers for orphaned children or going into the inner city to try to be an encouragement to those we meet who are hurting – our goal is to be used by Jesus Christ as He sees fit.</strong><br />

<br />
<strong>I have been in several artisan circles and from the time I joined TDIPT in 2006, I have met the most caring and compassionate group I’ve ever encountered. This group of ladies is always ready to help each other, to pray for each other and stand beside each other through life’s bumpy road. I consider them my extended family and love each sister dearly.</strong><br />
