"We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue organization dedicated to saving the lives of homeless and abandoned animals in Cleveland County and surrounding areas.
​
Volunteers who work year round to try to help and save animals at CCAC by rescuing through Cliffords, and working with rescues throughout the country.
It is staggering the number of animals that are taken in at Animal Control daily, we not only want to raise money to help them, we want to help educate people in our county to spay, neuter, vaccinate, microchip...and above all to adopt instead of shop."
Please visit our website for the dogs/puppies that are currently available for adoption. Once all vetting is complete and evaluations complete, they are posted. Link to our on line application is also on the website. We do on line application review, home visit and then meet and greet. We will travel up to two hours one way to facilitate home visits. We do not do virtual visits."
Foothills Farmer's Market, NC
"Milk Glass Pie is a small batch enterprise that makes old-fashioned pies from scratch. From the foothills of Western North Carolina, baker Keia Mastrianni works with the seasons and local landscape using the best ingredients grown or produced by farmers, millers, and friends in the region.
Milk Glass Pie began in 2014 as a creative outlet and, frankly, a side hustle to a freelance writing career. What began as a small series of pop-ups grew into a bonafide business that aims to love people, love justice, build community, and make a damn fine pie."

I've always been creative, but I never thought I could turn a hobby into a side business in real life. When I was 12, I opened "Caroline's Crafts" for a summer while I was at my grandparents' most of the time. I handmade tons of doodads out of popsicle sticks and sold them primarily to family members. From coasters, to wall plaques and everything in between, it was all 100% handmade.
Now that I'm grown, married, in grad school, and have two fur babies, I'm hoping to start something small like Caroline's Crafts to bring joy to others and myself in this busy, crazy life. Welcome to Crafty with Caroline!
