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.

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.
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!
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. Here is Jim Shore's black lab, which he calls Duke. I also included a picture of my black lab Gabriel since he tells me he demands equal time to the chihuahuas!! But getting back to the item of the day ... i just love this piece. Its so difficult to work or paint with the color black. But Jim has managed to use his trademark detailing to subtly accent and bring out depth in the labs coat. I also love the unusual way he has decorated the base with bright true colors, but without drawing attention away from the main subject. If you have a black lab or just love this super loyal breed (Gabe is not the biggest dog at my place, that is Knight, but if someone was hurting me, Gabe is the one who would lay his life down to protect me. ) then this piece will make you happy every time you look at it. At just $28.00, it will grace your home or office for years to come.
Remember all profits from Treasures From the Heart go to rescue. We now have wind chimes in the store. We have both metal and acrylic chimes. We have chimes that are accented with hummingbirds, blue jays, cardinals and other birds, as well as dragonflies, butterflies and more. I especially love the memorial wind chimes. I can just imagine that each time the chimes ring my dear little Parker's spirit has just brushed by. It's as if he's right there. I really like that. The other example here is an acrylic dragonfly chime. Its so pretty and dainty, i can totally see it in a guest powder room or in a little girls room, or for that matter on a stylish lanai. Our wind chimes range in price from about $15 to $20 dollars.
Remember all profits from Treasures From The Heart go to rescue. I got a plea from the Broward shelter to help a little unnamed 8 pound terrier who was so terrified that no one could touch him. He had bitten a shelter employee and would certainly not be given much time pas the quarantine period. Being fairly full, I wasn't crazy about the idea but I couldn't let him die without a chance, so I agreed to take him. My friends in Miami named him Willie. Willie was transported to Elfie's Refuge but a group of volunteers, each driving for about an hour before passing him on to the next driver. Because he was baring his teeth at everyone, he could not be taken out of the crate on his way here.
I moved him directly from the crate to a playpen in our kitchen. At first Willie would not eat and he certainly wasn't going to let anyone touch him. He would lurch at you with mouth open and teeth showing if you got too close. So I just sat with him on the outside of the playpen and talked to him for about an hour every time. I let him see my hands while I talked to him and ran them along the outside of the playpen. After a day or so he started eating a little. He was so thin, he just had to be hungry!!! He wasn't as scared when I put his food and water in the playpen for him, or cleaned up and gave him new bedding. Slowly, I could tell it was making a difference. On Christmas morning I came out to find that Willie had jumped out of the playpen and was loose in the kitchen. I sat down on the floor and and spoke to him and he inched closer. Finally he let me touch his head and gently pat him. It was his beautiful Christmas present to me. By the end of the day he was sitting in my lap. Willie was mine, or rather, he had chosen me. Now its a month later. Willie sleeps in my arms, he screams with excitement when I come home and throws himself into my arms. I bought him his own special collar. He's not scared anymore. Willie had a long journey, but now he's home for good. Here we have Tweeter's pick of the day. She has selected the Swiss Cheese Fairie from the Kitchen Fairie collection. Of course Tweeter has impeccable taste!!! And who wouldn't love this little pixie, cutting the holes into a block of cheese! You can see the hole cutouts lying at her feet. I just love her expression too. If you follow our posts you probably already know that this is a retired collection and hard to find. We have them at 25% off although it might make more sense to price at a premium. This fairie retails for just $25.00, making the price to you just $18.75.
