New "Dressed to the (K)Nines" Accessory collection items added to Etsy!

I'm so excited to present the newest additions to our Dressed to the (K)Nines Accessory collection!  Three new collar/hair clips were just added to the shop- two are Feathers & Flower Clips and one is a one of a kind Vintage-Style Lace Clip!

Let's start with the Vintage-Style Lace Clip / Fascinator- it's my favorite item in the shop!  It is crafted from a teardrop shaped base of soft white lace.  Accenting the lace are hand-selected vintage and new buttons in coral, pearl, gold and a tiny hint of blue.  A small, hand-crafted raw silk flower in ivory is nestled amongst the buttons.  Pricing for this item reflects the uniqueness of the clip/fascinator and the one of a kind vintage accents in addition to being 100% hand-crafted.

Next up, two Feathers & Flower Clips / Fascinators that are also perfect for dressing up an every-day dog collar, to add a splash of fun for special events, or to borrow from your pup to adorn your own hair (the type of clip used makes it very versatile!).

The first Feathers & Flower Clip in Black & White features a hand-crafted flower of layered Black Tulle and Ivory Tully with fine Black Polka-Dots. A stream of white feathers adds to the fullness and fun of the clip!  Feathers, flower and clip are attached to a white felt backing and measures approximately 8 1/2".

The second Feathers & Flower Clip in Purple and Black features a lovely flower is handmade by layering Black Tulle. A stream of purple feathers is the base of this fun and fabulous fascinator/clip!  Feathers, flower and clip are attached to a black felt backing and measures approximately 8 1/2".

I hope you all enjoy the clips as much as I did making them!  I think they are fun and flirty- ready for your hound (or you!) to wear in style!

Warm Winter Pets Photo Contest by Southern States Cooperative

How fun! Southern States is hosting a photo contest!  They are asking that you share your most adorable photos of your pets snuggling up (in their warmest winter coats, with you, or anywhere else!), and you could win a $250 Southern States gift card!  Southern States has over a thousand pet-related items in their Pet Center online, and they also have some great articles with pet-related information that are worth checking out.  A $250 gift card could buy your pup a lot of new toys!!  Basic info on the contest is below, find more details here.  Good luck!

Treasury Feature - Whippet Good!

We were featured in an Etsy Treasury called "Whippet Good"!  This Treasury is SO fantastic on so many different levels!  The Lion Tamer really cracked me up- not to mention the piece that must have inspired it all- the Whippet Good print!  So glad our Boutique Greyhound Silhouette in yellow could be part of such a fun Treasury!  Thanks SerendipiT!

New Listings - Gift Certificates Now Available!

That's right, folks!  We are happy to announce that we just listed gift certificates in $25 increments ($25-$100) on our Etsy shop!  We wanted our shoppers to have more options when shopping this holiday season, and we thought there was no better way than to give the gift of choice.  You may want to give a gift to that special greyhound or greyhound person in your life, but you're not really sure what they already have or what they need.  Enter the Greyhound Threads Gift Certificate!  Purchased in increments of $25, you can choose either a snail-mail gift certificate sent to you or directly to your recipient, or you can choose to have it sent electronically (we like to call it our "Paper or Pixels" project).  Your recipient will receive a credit on their purchase for that dollar amount when they shop Greyhound Threads on Etsy.  Happy Shopping!

 

Greyhound or Impostor?

I was browsing Urban Outfitters for amusing stocking-stuffers for my in-laws, and I came across this sweater with a dog's head on it...the question at hand is, "Greyhound, or Impostor"?  Thoughts?

Enamored by ElleJW

I am absolutely in love with the work of ElleJW of Almost an Angel 66!  I've been a long time admirer, and I posted about her work as the very first Featured Friday on the blog.  The past few days, I have been "ooohing" and "aaaahing" over two prints that I newly noticed (not sure if they are new, or just new to me!).  It sure would be nice if Santa brought me the pair for Christmas this year!!

This first print is titled "A Little Whisper" - I love the bunny ears (as we call our pup Ana's ears since they stick straight up in the air when she's listening for/to something).  I love the expression on her face- intent, listening...mouth slightly agape like there is a treat just out of view!

The second print is titled "Eventually" and features two black greyhounds looking just as intently off the page as the pup above!  I love this one because it is such a perfect mirror of my two, Ana and Blue!

Don't you think these 5x7" prints would be the perfect compliment to the ElleJW print we currently own (it's 14x10")?  Here's a tiny picture of it (I don't think she's selling prints of it anymore because I can't find it listed anywhere online!).
