https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Crocheted-Heart-Sachet-comes-in-13-scents/769985534

These sachets are 3 - 4 inches in width and are crocheted either with Simply Soft or a glitter yarn.. You get to pick your color and your hanger.. all mine are edged in white.. unless you request a custom order.. you cannot mix scents for this order.. as these need to be mailed separately.. if you wish to mix scents.. please request a custom order.. You can wash them after the scent is gone and change scents too.. as they are cotton filled.

I have scented oils.. Wild Poppy, Grapefruit, Peppermint, Christmas Wreath, Lilac, Jasmine, Apples & Cinnamon, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Vanilla, Night Jasmine, Sparkle & Shine, and Lavender, . You can also get plain cotton to add your own scent., .  You can also get plain cotton to add your own scent. I will email you to see what scents you want.

This would make a nice gift for a friend, coworker, babysitter, mail lady, pet sitter, teacher. These can be ordered at any time..

Spent my summer!

I spent my summer basically fostering cats.. mostly was doing old and sick ones as I am a retired vet tech.. my first one was Anna.. she came to me cos she wasnt eating and was 5 lbs.. pretty thin.. I figured out she was a fussy eater.. lol.. I got her eating and by the time she left she was 8.2 lbs.. went back up for adoption and was adopted less than a week later.. 

My next one was Mango.. he was an older male with hyperthyroidism.. he was quite sickly.. but a really nice cat.. Unfortunately he died about a month and a half with me.. 

My next cat was Jasper.. he had liver failure.. was only with me for 3 days as his disease was much more pronounced than we thought.. He was put to sleep after they had checked his blood work.. after that I needed a break.. as you can imagine..

My last cat was Lilly.. I liked her alot.. unfortunately my personal cat, Miley didnt.. after she attacked her three times.. I had to let her go back.. I just loved her Heart shaped nose!! So I now am stopping!!

Michelle's Old and New on Facebook..

I have inviting everyone to check out my storefront on Facebook.. for all my sales.. I generally only send maybe 5 announcements every day or so.. This way you can see all my items as soon as they come up..
