I recently became a huge fan of the blog Acute Designs.  It’s written by a gal named Gina.  My favorite thing about her is how relatable she is and she makes some pretty awesome/adorable accessories.  She recently posted a story about “little orphan Annie” – no, not the “It’s a Hard Knock Life girl” – although she does mention her, but rather a beagle that her friends adopted who is in need of some surgeries whose name is Annie.  Gina is selling rose-shaped earrings in her shop to benefit Annie.  Now, I’m not really an animal girl*, but I always fall for a good story.  And this is a good story.  I purchased myself some earrings almost immediately and I absolutely LOVED the details of the packaging when it arrived.

Here’s the link if you want to read the whole story of orphan Annie.  (There’s also a link to the earrings there.)

*Also, let me clarify myself.  It’s not that I dislike animals.  I’ve just never had one and/or never spent much time around one.  I don’t know what to do with them.  I’m anticipating one day marrying a man who wants a really big dog and then I’ll probably have to figure out what to do with them then…
