Second part of Vegan Craft Samples Bag Review.

Another day, another exciting dip into my Vegan Craft Sample Bag.
So many goodies, which to look at first! How about this little mix:
A little Compassionate Shopping Guide from Leaping Bunny -
Lots of info about Cruelty Free Shopping from companies that do not test on animals.





Then there's the adorable Red Pendant, which I'm sorry to say I am not sure who donated it, as it's got mixed up with so many other goodies, it must have come away from it's sender. Wherever it's from, it's darling, and maybe the crafter who made it can let me know, and I'll review their shop in another post.

This funky card comes from Late to the Revolution. A novel card, showing vegan love in a unique way. I love it. Their shop sells imaginative  items such as handmade headphones, paper goods, beanies and lots more.






This sweet magnet, displaying a pretty pattern inspired from Japanese Temari balls from CraftyPanties.
Their shop has the most adorable Temari Balls and Fabric Balls, in wonderful colours and patterns. For those that don't know what Temari Balls are, check out Crafty Panties, and prepare to be amazed.






Crye's Creations was adorable little envelopes, the right size for business cards, I know i'll be using them soon! also cute little note books for those very inportant messages. love the pretty paper used. Her shop is full of lovely creative goodness such as art doll kits and mini envelopes.


A very useful lip balm from Earth Natural Essentials  . The lip balm is a tasty (!) peppermint flavour, and I used it straight away, this cold weather does nothing for my lips and the lip balm is fab! Their store has lots of vegan toiletries and cleaners, all vegan and made from earth freindly ingredients. there's also lots of information on the site, and it's well worth checking out.

Phew, lots of lovely vegan goody fun! and this is only just a little way through my Vegan Craft Sample Bag.
Have you got yours?

Vegan Craft Samples Valentine's Bag

Having just received my Vegan Craft Sample Bag, I wanted to blog about it. However, instead of posting a few photos and a general write up, as I have done previously, I decided to review each item and shop seperately. A bit of a mammoth task, since the bag is full of many lovely goodies, so I'm going to write about it in stages. Starting with a photo of the bag itself and a couple of photos of the items swished accross it.
As you can see, a fab mix of vegan goodies. Wanna see them close up? So did I. I had so much fun looking through my bag, and more fun photographing the individual items, cos I could them look at them all again!
In no particular order:
Anam Cara Candles Store
An adorable 'rose bouquet' scented t-light, in a little cute basket. it's a very pretty two tone pink, and smells light and lovely. I can't wait to try it.
The website has lots of adorable candles, just waiting to be tried out. (Be careful not to eat them - they look very tempting!)




I wanted to photograph the label as much as the incense sticks from Mrs Tattooed Geek.
The label is funky and very intriguing. the incense sticks have a strong smell, that will scent my room nicely. they are dusted with glitter, a very nice effect. The gorgeous Etsy shop sells such wonderful items as air fresheners, jewellery, candles, and lots of other fabulous delights.


How's that for starters, lots more samples and reviews to come, keep checking back, as I sample the samples, and am delighted at the delights!
Vegan Craft Samples can be bought HERE, and check out the blog for further information.
And I forgot to mention the important bit- as well as receiving a bag full of fantastic vegan items, 100% profits from the sale of the bags go to help animal charities - a perfect chance to treat yourself without the guilt of spending - it's all good!
