You know we’ve long been a supporter of Natalie at Bee Meadow Farm, and all the work she does with her rescue animals.

If you follow her on Facebook, it will come as no surprise that she’s been racking up some hefty vet bills.

She’s recently taken in a mama with a pile of nursing kittens, a little sweet calico with a hernia, and a handsome ginger named Jim, who’s having some serious skin issues.

She put the call out for donations for gift basket items, etc to help raise some funds to get these fantastic furballs back to health and into their forever homes.

With the move looming, I don’t have time to make anything, so instead, I pulled Queen of the Crossroads from the shop, and offered it up for a fundraising raffle.
