It is almost here! Here are a few quick updates on the upcoming trip and our shop!
1) The Etsy Shop will go on Vacay...
On November 4th, Fiberton Acres online shop will go on "vacation" while I head to Australia for about a month. It will open back up on Dec 8th, so if you need a lovely little handmade item prior to that, make sure to get your order in prior to Nov 4th. Oh! And if you are in need of a special order, you can message me while I am on the road and I will work hard to accommodate the order for the holidays! Check out the Etsy shop here!
2) I will be one of the roustabouts for an epic and important record breaking fundraising event...
At 4pm, Friday, November 22nd in Australia (so 11pm, Thursday, Nov 21st in the U.S.) I get the honor to help Pete and Nigel, two of the best alpaca shearers in the world break an incredible record for shearing alpacas for 24hrs. What could make it cooler, you ask? How about making it for mental health awareness and suicide prevention all over the world? Pete and Nigel are raising funds for organizations all over the world. If you are in the US, funds will go to the Montana Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. If you are in New Zealand, Australia or the UK, we have charities set up as well!
I will be the roustabout for a large chunk of the 24hrs (the person helping wrangle and hold the alpacas during shearing) and we will have a live feed set up for you to see how it's going! More info on the event, how to help and how to watch the live stream can be found at at www.shearforlight.com as we get closer!
And if you want to donate directly in the US to this awesome event, click here!
3) Follow Fiberton Acres on Instagram or FB for any updates while I am in Oz...
I will not be able to blog much (or at all) while I am in Australia, but if you are on social media, I will work to put up a few updates there! Find me on Instagram or Facebook!
