For the Home

I love, love, love this dish towel from Anthropologie! In fact, I would totally buy it for my kitchen since it matches so well. The only thing that's stopping me is the $18 price tag for something I know is bound to get stained within the first few days I own it. But, there are other possibilities. Maybe I can make it into a pillow instead.

Also from Anthropologie are these heavy duty brass swiss mountain dog drawer pulls. Add some character to a dresser or desk with a pair, $78.

Our Renegade Craft Fair Booth

Oh, how I love the Renegade Craft Fair! It gives me a thrill to see so many other artists and crafters together for such an awesome shopping event. I love seeing the unique products everyone has to offer, and being so inspired by the work of others.

Here are some photos of our booth from this fair in case you weren't able to come out and see us!

Dog Collars, Kitty Collars, and Catnip toys. The whale catnip toys were a huge hit, selling out on Saturday (I made more for Sunday, and we sold them too!). I think they may be a new addition to the website soon.

Elaine hand cut the paper pennant banner from cardstock, and we used our vintage stools and toolbox for displaying our wares. We also purchased a vintage quilt rack, you can see it at the end of the table. We had someone sew the fabric bunting for us using our Aroo Studio collar fabrics for the lettering, and purchased the stuffed dog models (on top of stool). They are eco-friendly, made from re-purposed sweaters with eco friendly stuffing inside.

We almost sold out of key fobs as well, I think they are heading for some very lucky people's stockings this Christmas!

Here's a close up of the quilt rack, (sorry about the not so hot photo) showcasing many of our hemp collars & leashes. We sold a lot and had a great time at Renegade, I think it's safe to say we will be there again!
