Maisy the Sock Bunny Ballerina arrives at the Sanctuary

Muggles and Maisy were reunited today as her sister was delivered to the adoption center. It was smiles all round as the pair had plenty to talk about. Maisy had been practising her dancing and wanted to show the other how good she had got! they were all clapping afterwards and there paws got sore. She even bought muggles a lovely bunch of flowers which made muggles rather weepy as she had never been given flowers before. Maisy hopes to be adopted somewhere there will be a good dance school so she can perfect her skills. Maisy showed her sis her stage makeup and the pair now seem to shimmer with glitter powder. Ollie got rather cross at them as they chased him round the hall trying to dust him with glitter which he thought wasnt very manly. Maisy seems to be having a snooze now in mama sock's slipper as she is tired out after being the center of attention all day!

Sockimals now available @ Dreamaid.com

go to : http://www.dreamaid.com/store/sockimal

rather than pay a listing fee, we pledge to pay a small percentage to this charity. we are also listed at folksy.com and misi.co.uk but the sockimals feel this is much more worth while.

Dreamaid Charity

The Dreamaid Charity is a non profit organisation which will help people in poorer countries to get their products to markets outside their normal reach. We will employ local staff and will provide the necessary internet access, computers and cameras to allow people in poorer countries to sell their artworks online.
This will enable poorer people to make more money than they can by selling within their own area and also reduce the amount they have to sell through agents (who sometimes take a very large profit).
It is not uncommon for artworks to pentuple in price from leaving the village to arriving in the nearest town. This price can again triple or more by the time it reaches a Western buyer meaning that the originator may only be seeing 7% of the purchase price. We aspire to see that figure rising to as much as 90% of a significantly higher price by using the strategy and technology available to us through Dreamaid.
