I added more flowers to make me happier with the balance of the composition. ❤️🌸🌸. I think it’s almost done. A few more chandeliers in the back and then I will tell myself to stop!!

I think the new rug (1st pic) works better than the antique art deco rug. I love the art deco rug (imagine it repaired) but I think it’s too dark. What do you think?

We’ve got sweet ❤️ treats and a sweet new rug! (The ancient hooked art deco rug is being repaired). Who says you can’t eat Valentine’s Day chocolate now! Lol.

I want to have Bloom Room Bingo Nights at the Sparkle Barn! I love bingo! Although, I need to find someone funnier and more entertaining than I am to run the show! Know anyone who would make a fabulous and fun Bingo Caller?

Just sharing / FYI.

I can’t stand to think of all the animals suffering in the California fires. Here’s one option to help.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19xPbsMecn/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Update on Eaton Fire Emergency:
We have taken in over 300 animals due to evacuations and have staff and volunteers working nonstop to help with their care. We are starting to see many animals coming in with burns and injuries. These animals are being treated in our ICU. We are providing them with pain medications, wound care, fluid, and oxygen as needed.

We’re working with shelters across the state who have offered to take in the animals that were already in our care so that we can focus on providing resources to the displaced animals. A huge thank you to the shelters throughout California who are offering assistance, as well as all people in our community reaching out to volunteer or donate. Our biggest need right now is for monetary donations to help provide emergency resources to animals affected by the wildfires.

If you are being evacuated and can go somewhere with your pets–such as a friend or family member’s home–that is ideal. If you are evacuating, please take your animals with you. We are very thankful that the Pasadena Civic Center has allowed people to stay with their pets. We are helping in any way that we can–providing them with resources such as food and leashes for the displaced families. We also have pet food available at the shelter for those who need it. If you cannot go somewhere that allows your pet to stay with you, you can bring your animals to the shelter where we are offering emergency boarding.

Our Animal Control Officers have been on the ground helping animals in the community. While they are not going into the active fire areas, we are preparing to get in many injured animals that will need our help in those areas once the fires are cleared. If you find injured wildlife, please text our wildlife helpline at 626.344.1129. If you find any other animal, including dogs and cats, please call Animal Control at 626.792.7151 ext. 970.

We anticipate getting in even more animals who are in need of emergency medical care as the fires continue. If you are able to donate, please visit https://give.pasadenahumane.org/give/654134/ #!/donation/checkout
