Furkid

At the SSW works show I met a lady by the name of Jennifer work works for the FurKid rescue. It is an organization that helps find new homes for rescued pitt bulls. When I met Jennifer she was carrying around a six week old brindle puppy by the name of Teenie , she was so cute and is still available for adoption. If I could, would totally adopt Snowy, a boxer, french bulldog, pit mix.
After the show Jennifer contacted me and requested my "Princess Puppy" necklace at the same size as the fox necklace as a special order. I was so excited to do this piece for such a fierce dog lover. I shipped it out today so I hope she loves it!

You Live and You Learn


The SSW show in Pittsburgh wasn't what I expected it to be. The show was set up in the middle of the SSW which consists of a large number of retail stores and a couple of restaurants. The place was over run with tons of people more interested in buying a five dollar tee from Forever 21 or a hundred dollar one from Benetton. All the vendors were also competing the retail stores outside tables filled with the cheep crap left over from the previous season. The "I Made it Market" would benefit from having the show in a less commercial environment.
You live and learn.
On a more positive note...
The owner's of ModCloth.com happened to be out Friday night of the show on a movie date and came upon my booth by accident. Susan, the founder of ModCloth, ended up loving and purchasing my "Sitting Foxy" necklace and leaving me with her card and told me to contact them for an order.
I now have a very nice order for "Sitting Foxy" and "Jack-Jack the Bandit. " So in September keep a look out for these pieces on the ModCloth web site!
