Oh! Thanks to having a unicorn on the Front Page, I've now surpassed 600 Hearts
for my etsy shop!
If you are in the east end of Toronto tomorrow, check out the "fashion market, jumble sale, silent auction and bake sale"
fundraiser for Canadian Red Cross Haiti Earthquake Relief. Follow the link for details.
I had one of those, 'And where is the TTC going today?' type mornings. Considering I take a streetcar,
confined to a finite amount of tracks, this is a surprisingly common reccurring event. There isn't even any snow and they still can't seem to keep the streetcars running. The College shuttle bus decided, mysteriously, to take us (the three people morosely staring at the streetcars piling up at the High Park turn-around and refusing to, well, turn around) along Dundas, so I ended up in Chinatown, but I got here eventually. They really need to keep the streetcars running after the recent fare hike, or they'll have rider insurrection on their hands.
The Toronto Etsy Street team has opened a team shop, to highlight local talent while raising money for good causes. Team members donate items and proceeds go to charity. Currently we are raising money for Haiti and giving our proceeds to the Red Cross (40%), Médecins Sans Frontière/ Doctors without Borders: (40%) and Global Medic: (20%). 
So, Orbit is working to help alleaviate suffering. We want the shop to be able to respond to current events, and the team will give where we feel it can do the most good. Currently, if you would like to buy, for instance Lady Giggleswick Thinks of Love, if you do so through the T.E.S.T. team shop, all of the proceeds will go to these three charities listed above, and the Canadian federal government will match funds to double the support.
