 And since we are sharing love our love for our furry babies this month, I thought I'd share some vintage valentine pics I took offline that are in that spirit.

 From all the artisans at Tdipt we wish you all the best Valentine's day, treat yourself!

We Love Our Fur Babies!

Cookie of Curds-N-Whey sent in pictures of her wonder cats Nip & Tuck. There seems to be a pattern in these pics and Cookie might want to set up a cat cam while she's at work because the pictures she takes when home look like these two have been very busy while she's gone!

Finally our MoMo of The Solderd Sparrow shared these pics of Boo Boo kitty, enough said, just enjoy giggle

You can see why these gals and their families love their lil fur babies!

Charity Event for The Month of Feb! Kindness Matters Big and Small

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. To see more about this rescue, please visit their Facebook page here or their Website here 

And its time for the 15th updates! check out this Lovely Doll From Diamond K Folk Art one of the many lovely items offered this month

Another Stop The Presses! Kudos!

Patty Kelly Trevino of Dogpatch Primitives has  very good news to share. She is going to be getting a job w


the city  she lives in and will be working at the animal shelter.

" It may not seem like a big deal, but to get the full appreciation you would have to understand

that our local pound here has never allowed adoptions. That will all be changing

as I will be the shelter attendant and will be coordinating rescues and

adoptions for the Animals".

She is also working on getting a grant for a makeover to make the shelter a cheerier place for all.

"I'm very excited as this is a huge step and one I had to fight for and have wanted to do for years. "

This is great new especially for those animals in need!
