A little Something for Easter

3/17/2016

0 Comments

 
This gorgeous angel is perfect as an Easter gift to a special hostess, or as a centerpiece for a family Easter meal.  She is by Jim Shore and reminds us of the wonder of this special day.  I love the three crosses on the back of her gown.  Her message of love and salvation and eternal life are something we in rescue can feel close to on so many levels.  This is a piece you will never put away.  The message of faith and hope is something to be cherished each and every day, through hard times and joyous times.  At just $51.00, it's an investment you won't regret, and that will remain in the family for many years to come.  And remember, your purchase goes directly to support rescue.

Attention Doberman and Min Pin lovers!

2/25/2016

Here is the super Jim Shore Doberman, called Dobie. I think it would work well for min pin lovers too. My boy Harley, and Elfie's Refuge graduate Julie (now Minnie) seem to agree. Its a subtly beautiful piece with the blue accents and the light and dark blue base. The face has that true noble look of eagles. And his stance is so alert. This piece would be perfect almost anywhere you want to use it. At just $25.00 it is really a steal. This is not a tiny piece. It measures a good 5 to 6 inches tall by 4 to 5 inches long. A very nice statement piece. And remember, every purchase from Treasures From The Heart goes directly to support rescue.

Do you have a best friend that you share absolutely everything with?  Do you enjoy the occasional gossip session with your bestie???  If so you will love this piece from the Charming Tails collection, entitled I'll Always Share the Juicy Stuff With You.  It brings back many happy memories for me.  What a perfect Valentines Day present for a BFF or a much loved sister.  The look of shock on the one mouse's face is priceless, and the excitement of her friend with her juicy story is hilarious.  At just $25.00 its a wonderful way to show your bestie how much you care.

Valentines Day Gifts

I really love the Charming Tails collection. This is a new piece called I Love You A Whole Bushel. His bushel basket is filled with bright red hearts with the word "LOVE" on each one. As always our little mouse has the most precious face with his dark eyes and pink nose. The bushel basket is beautifully detailed. This piece would put a smile on anyone's face, especially with its message of love. Appropriate for a family member or your true love. If you think men wouldn't appreciate this, I can tell you I've given them as gifts to men and they loved them!

And remember when you buy from Treasures from the Heart, you are also supporting rescue. Every cent of profit goes to save dogs and cover their medical expenses. Please consider us when you shop for Valentines day.

An Angel for Shorty

I've been waiting for the right time to share with you my personal angel. With Shorty's passing it seemed like today was the right day. This angel has been with me for years and I love her. She stands in my bedroom and i know she was there to cradle little Shorty as he got his angel wings. She's seen me through a lot of tough times. I love her sweet face and her basket of roses. She's a tall slender angel and over the years shes been in the kitchen, the family room and the bedroom. She never looks out of place. At just $40.00, she's really a bargain. What a lovely way to commemorate a companion who has passed into the next world.

Do you have a beloved poodle, or know someone who does?  I have our beautiful Carlton who is 12 years old and dumped at the shelter in horrible shape.  Yet today he is beautiful.  He's so very loving and just captures my heart.  So every time i look at this wonderful piece from Jim Shore, my heart smiles.  Every poodle deserves to be cherished, don't they?  If this little figurine speaks to you as it does to me, then you will be surprised to find out that it is priced at just $23.00.  This is a retired piece from 2011, and not easy to find.  Its hard to imagine any room where it would not fit in perfectly.  And remember all profits from our sales go to rescue.

To purchase this piece or any other, simply reply to this comment with your contact information.

I just love this little piece from the Charming Tails collection called This Girl Just Wants To Have Fun.  She's got her hoop earrings, bangle bracelets and a beaded necklace that is twirling around her neck as she dances.  I can hear a good salsa rhythm simply by looking at her! The expression on her face is pure joy. Notice too her punked out red hair!!!!  I knew i liked this girl!  If you know someone like this, or if this IS you, you can pick up this delightful piece at our store, Treasures From The Heart, for just $22.00.  And remember all profits go to rescue.

Treasures from the Heart has Valentine's Day gifts!

Everyone remembers those colorful candy hearts for Valentines Day. They just make you smile and also bring back happy memories from grade school on. Add to that a love of horses and you will be head over heels for this piece, called Heart to Heart and a part of the Trail of the Painted Ponies collection. This particular piece is now retired and considered hard to find. This is also a numbered first edition piece. We are offering it for just $52.00. When you think about how much flowers cost and how quickly they wilt, versus a piece like this that expresses your love and affection for years to come, its a fantastic gift idea. And remember, all profits from Treasures from the Heart go to rescue. What an awesome way to donate!

Give a bear for Valentines day!

1/25/2016

Instead of spending $50 to $100 or more on flowers, or buying a box of fattening chocolates for Valentines day, how about a beautiful limited edition collectible bear like our Crumpet here. His face is so precious and well done, and hes so soft to the touch and so unusual with his leopard/cheetah pattern. A bear like this, your loved one will have for years and years rather than just a few days. Personally I would put a red bow around his neck and a single red rose in his arms, along with the perfect valentines day card.

I have to tell you how much I love his feet too!!! So cute! And the best part is in knowing that not only did you get a great gift for that special someone, but every cent of the profit on this purchase will go to support rescue. So you are showing your love for animals too. Crumpet retails for just $48.00.
