Longing for Spring

Yep, I've already had enough of winter. It's been really cold for the past few days. Seeing this amazing dress today makes me want Spring to get here even faster (if that's even possible)!
Stay warm!

Lily on the Etsy Veg Blog!

I'm excited to share that Lily is featured as the pet of the week on the Etsy Veg Blog!! A few weeks ago I completed the interview and sent it in. I'm so happy to see it get posted! I'm sure Lily will be very pleased to hear about it too :)

PS moving day is this weekend! I can't believe it snuck up so quickly! Let's see how Lily reacts. It should be interesting to say the least.

Random yet awesome

I don't know that this really even needs a caption :)

This Saturday is Bazzart at the American Visionary Art Museum!! I'm so super excited. Mainly for some of my favorite Etsy sellers and also for Brunie's Bakery!!Clearly vegan baked goods get me every time.

If you live near Baltimore I highly recommend stopping by!

Have a great tofurky day :)

I'm deeply saddened

After reading this news story, it makes me nauseous. To think about people treating animals like they are disposable and cannot feel pain and emotions makes me lose that much more faith in humanity. I am very thankful that there are like minded people out there that can agree that dog fighting, and all animal abuse, is atrocious. What kind of person gets joy out of torturing animals? It's disgusting.

If you are interested in making a donation to the organization that is caring for the pit bulls in this particular dog fighting ring, you can do so on their website. BARCS has unfortunately been in the news a lot recently since there have been numerous animal cruelty cases discovered in Baltimore. I am thankful there are kind people to work and volunteer for shelters like BARCS, so that many more animals can be cared for.

If you know of animal cruelty happening, please report it. That is what saved some of these dogs, although some couldn't be saved and thousands more are out there that need to be saved.

Thank you.

It's my dream

that Lily would wear something like this one day :)

In reality, this is how she handles herself when I try to put clothes on her.

Yep, this is her at her graduation WITH her teacher holding her, as she tries to eat her graduation cap.

I tried to get her to wear her devil Halloween costume. She was not amused.And with the raincoat, she just sat there like I was torturing her. Miraculously, I managed to get this picture before she ripped the Snuggie completely off.She likes being naked, what can I say? :)

African Grey

I can't get enough of the cute cards and prints from African Grey. It's hard to just pick a few favorite things, but I'll give it my best shot.

Nerdy Pug Print

Sweet Little Boston Terrier Print

(Lily had the same little key chain teether when she was a puppy!)

Keep Calm Puggle Print

Sock Monkey Chihuahua Card

French Bulldog in a Scarf Print

I hope you like them too :)

Treasury!!

I'm in a treasury!!

mistflowerphoto was kind enough to include my talk nerdy to me card in her treasury!

The seller behind the treasury, Valerie, has some amazing prints in her shop. Here are a few of my favorites:

Happy Monday!

One scoop of elephant please!

I just think this is the cutest thing ever. A little strange? Yes. But too adorable!

I first came across it while browsing Shana Logic. You can also find it in Anomaly's Etsy shop!

I'm also a fan of this ring from the same seller.

I like weird, what can I say?

New Favorite Etsy Shop

Recently I came across this amazing new Etsy shop called lechouchou. I am in love with all of her pieces. Everything reminds me of Wonderland. Her pictures are so amazing too.

I am in awe of her blog, and I can't read a word on it! The pictures are enough to captivate me!

Shop Update!

I just got done listing a few new cards in my shop! Of course it's another batch of Lily cards :)

The Etsy Teams are all being reformatted so it's renewing my motivation to start being more diligent about the shop. Hopefully the momentum keeps going!

The dachshund team has a new blog! It's a good way for the sellers to show what they're working on and to show off their doxies too!

Another blog you might want to check out is The Dainty Squid. I've really been loving this blog lately, and for the month of November, she is having a giveaway every week! This week it's a handmade hoodie from one of her favorite shops, Mungo Crafts.

Lily got to spend some quality time with her boyfriend, Goober, over the weekend. We were at the Howard County Fairgrounds for a huge craft show. We made a lot of money for the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue! Yay! Of course Lily and Goober aka the odd couple, always seem to draw a crowd (as if a 150 pound dog alone isn't enough).

The last one with her paw on his arm is my favorite :) He is such a good sport to put up with her!

Have a great day :)

Jackie is right . . .

It's been far too long.

What awesome stuff have I found lately? Let's take a look.

Clif Z Bars! Okay so they are made for kids, but that means less calories than regular Clif bars. And they are delicious! My favorite is Honey Graham without a doubt. The peanut butter, brownie, and s'mores are also really good!

kate spade and all of her amazing non-leather handbags and wallets. Some of her bags are leather of course, but she usually has a good selection of fabric bags too! I also recently snagged a vinyl wallet! Her jewelry is so pretty too.

This Undress Art Pendant Necklace

Cards from pinwheeldesigns

The Mulberry for Target collection. I love when Target has expensive designers create lines for them. They're almost always vegan friendly!

I'm not terribly excited for colder weather, but I am super excited for Halloween! This is going to be my costume this year!

That's all for now! Happy (almost Halloween!!!)

Three Musketeers

I was dogsitting Dakota last week. She brought her bed, but apparently Lily and Vegas decided they wanted it. Dakota seemed okay with it though!
