I expect everyone knows about the awful situation in Australia at the moment with the raging bushfires and devastation that has so far cost over 180 lives and left thousands homeless. The Red Cross have launched an appeal and many people are doing what they can to help. If you’re able to help by making a donation then please pop over and visit Trashcan who has spent the week collecting together a host of gorgeous goodies as prizes in her raffle. All you need to do is go and make a donation at the red cross website and then email Trash and she’ll enter your name in the draw (1 entry for each Australian dollar that you donate). Go take a look at the prizes (I have my eye on the gorgeous little chair by moogsmum and the beautiful cot quilt from I’m a ginger monkey). There’s even a little cotton rabbit who is glowing with pride as she’s the poster girl!

Please give what you can to help. Many thanks x

PS: there are more wonderful things being sold and auctioned to raise funds here on Handmade help.
