Hundreds of sellers and artisans have inspiringly banded together to raise money by donating items to, and buying from, the Hearts for Haiti Etsy shop. Sellers have donated their handmade items, as well as free shipping, and 100% of the proceeds (minus Etsy & PayPal fees) go directly to Doctors Without Borders.
Last night I purchased this set of lovely winter notecards by Orange Cat Art, and I've donated a few items as well (1 of which sold today and will be shipped off to the UK).
Definitely check out HeartsforHaiti -- there are some lovely things there and every little bit that helps the desperate situation in Haiti matters. I will be browsing the shop every so often as well, and I'm sure I will make a few more purchases in the near future.

EDIT
I also just found out about crafthope, which is also raising money for Doctors Without Borders. Even more lovely items to browse to raise money for Haiti. I bought this beautiful journal made by moon23. I don't really know what I'll write or draw in it, but I've wanted one of these coptic stitch handmade journals for awhile, and what better time to get one?

I bought some tags myself. And I saw that you had donated an item or two and just wanted to say thanks for your generosity.
