Brand-New Our Hen House Etsy Shop Opens

NEW YORK, NY - January 2011 - Those who care about both aesthetic perfection and doing good in the world will delight in their discovery of the brand-new Our Hen House Etsy Shop. Our Hen House, founded in 2010, is a central clearinghouse for all kinds of ideas to create change for animals, with a special bent on the arts.

The organization now has a new creative outlet to support its many endeavors: an Etsy shop that sells all-vegan items created by supporters, with all proceeds going to augment the multimedia capabilities that make Our Hen House, as described by VegNews, "a one-stop shop for anyone interested in animal activism."

According to Executive Director Jasmin Singer, "The arts are such an important aspect of advocacy, especially as they relate to animals. By purchasing the gorgeous, ethically-produced products at the Our Hen House Etsy Shop, shoppers are voting with their dollars to support the work of compassionate artists, and the multimedia efforts of Our Hen House."

Etsy is an e-commerce website that allows individuals or groups to create online shops focusing on handmade and vintage items. At the Our Hen House Etsy Shop, beautiful handmade jewelry and knits by artists such as Beth Begany, make the perfect self-indulgent purchase, or a stylish gift for a do-gooder. Additionally, Our Hen House is always on the lookout for artists to join its family of creative activists and donate one-of-a-kind, handmade items to the Shop.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Our Hen House relies on donations to fund its many projects - a podcast covering the essentials of the vegan world, a how-to activism blog, videos, social media, workshops, and more. In 2011, Our Hen House will expand these efforts and completely revamp its website. Purchasing from the Our Hen House Etsy Shop supports this next evolution of Our Hen House in an enjoyable way that is painless for purse strings.
